Adorable Lil' Ol' Beach Shack

Escape to the tropics at Henry's House. It's a gem of a house, designed by renowned architect Eric Moser, with interiors by an HGTV insider. It's a classic coastal design, with high ceilings, big windows and lots of outdoor living spaces. There's a master bedroom downstairs that opens directly onto the deck and an upstairs bedroom that's washed in natural light. Outside, there's a wrap around deck with a dining table and shower. There's WiFi, of course, and a shady fenced yard so bring your pup.
It's a short bike ride or even shorter drive to The East End and Main public beaches, golf course, Audubon Bird Sanctuary, and DI town center. The house comes with 3 bikes, so you can get around the island like a local.
P.S. Henry's House is named for our Amazon parrot, Henry, who has been a regular on Dauphin Island for years.

Cute house as described. Fenced yard was larger than expected. Lots of plants! Quiet neighborhood with the exception of a few loud dogs now and then. One of the better rentals we’ve stayed in.

Beautiful House in a Relaxing Location
First time staying in a house on DI. Fantastic house with beautiful landscaping and interior design. Very functional for our family of 3 on a quiet street with easy access to the entire island. Well appointed with all the necessities, a grill, coffee maker, and plenty of towels. The deck and outside area is great and the bikes are a great addition. Nice and relaxing trip at a very affordable price for a holiday week! Glad we found this property and hope to stay again!

Excellent peaceful getaway in a really cute little house
The house was just perfect for the two of us and our dog. The house is located in the middle of a tree lined residential neighborhood It is quiet and convenient to beaches, stores restaurants etc, Everything in the house was great and the bikes were used to explore the island. East beach and Middle beach are a short drive or bike ride away. After staying there. Any help we need with appliances or information, the owners were quick to respond. we booked in again for next year before we even left.

Great quiet place!
Wonderful place to stay, quiet neighborhood with everything you need there at the home. Bikes, board games, privacy, the only knock, which it wasnt bad is the neighbors dogs run up to the fence and scare the mess out of you every now and then, but its just dogs being dogs. Overall we had a great time and would definitely recommend this home.

Loved Henry’s House
What a great place for a get away! The house was so clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed. The bicycles were definitely a plus. We stayed over Thanksgiving weekend and a few restaurants were open. We highly recommend The Islander. We visited Dauphin Island Baptist Church and met some really nice folks. We had a great time in this lovely house!

Quiet and clean
We loved staying at Henry’s House and would stay again! I loved the natural yard - it was so beautiful. I ate breakfast on the deck every morning. Great decor!! We truly enjoyed use of the bikes! My only suggestions are to put a TV in the living room and add another security/flood light for the backyard. Easy access to all Dauphin Island attractions. If you want to relax, stay at Henry’s House!!!

Beach trip.
The rental/house was beautiful. We enjoyed the screened-in back patio and spacious yard for our pets. It was dog friendly. It was easy to get in/out of house using a pass code. It rained 4 out of 5 days. We enjoyed our stay.

Dauphin Island getaway
House was the prettiest looking in the street. Would have liked a TV in the front room. Had to drive to the park to take our dog out for walks. Beach was lovely and was close by car. Fort Gaines is worth a visit. Fresh fish from Skinners Seafood was excellent. Had a good couple of days here.

Wonderful getaway
We loved the house. Owner was great. Just like pictures. Well stocked with towels and kitchen utensils etc. Was a pleasure to cook there. Definitely a drive to the beach if have kiddos (mine are 5 and 7) We tried out all the beaches....loved west the best. Went ghost crabbing one night, to the aquarium and on a boat tour (Duke at the Dauphin Marina...highly recommend...pretty ride and just as kids were getting over it. they pull in the net and so many fish, shrimp, crabs, and jelly fish to play with) Swing on the porch was a fave. The weather did not like us but we made the best of it. A bit of a conservative area and monotone but we didn't have any incidents. Great house! Would definitely stay again!

Fabulous house, yard, and location, especially for birders and people traveling with dogs.
We are avid birders who always travel with our dog. We were thrilled to find such a lovely house with a completely secure, fenced-in yard that was super close to most of Dauphin's best birding hot spots. On our first morning there we saw Scarlet Tanagers, an Orchard Oriole, and several types of warblers, even without leaving the property The neighborhood is heavily wooded and very private. The owners did a fantastic job landscaping the backyard, and we enjoyed being amongst many gorgeous, tall trees.

Perfect Island Getaway
My husband and I and our 3 small children spent a week at Henry's House. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the screened porch, back yard and use of the bikes. My son and I biked to the Lighthouse bakery , the bird sanctuary and around town. We loved that the home was located on a quiet street with no traffic but still close to the beaches. We had a fantastic trip and will definitely be back next year.
