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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

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.

We loved our stay. The loft room was a little small for 4 teenagers (technically 3 and 1 adult 18th birthday :-) ). But other than that it was great.!!! Thanks Herny!!! Ps. WHO IS HENRY (this was the topic of much discussion)?

The stay at Henry’s House was more than we had hoped for. It was peaceful and quaint! Sitting in the screened in porch area was one of our favorite things about it where we gathered and just enjoyed to outdoors. The weather was perfect to be either in the shade or out under the canopy of trees. We did not want or need anything else as everything was provided for our stay other than our meals, which we enjoyed on the island. I would recommend it here 10 out of 10 times and would stay here again. It captured a world on its own and was a lovely sanctuary away from reality for a spell. I can’t say enough positive things about Henry’s House.
