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.

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.
The plants and trees are a wonder! Inside, a great floorplan that is comfortable, peaceful and offers private spaces. The woodwork is spectacular....thanks so much.
We loved our stay in this adorable lil ol beach shack! We enjoyed the bikes and loved the porch! We sat on the porch to enjoy our coffee, happy hour cocktails and night caps. :) the location is close to everything and also quiet and relaxing. The yard was beautiful!
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.
Clean, comfortable, well apportioned home. Lanai was peaceful place to sip coffee every morning. Mid-island location, nothing is far away but the crowds.
Perfect, roomy, well equipped little cottage. Had everything we needed. Quiet neighborhood. Close to East end beaches. Loved the plants and the screened in porch was fabulous!! Definitely stay again!
We enjoyed our stay on Dauphin Island, as always. This neighborhood is quiet, close to several restaurants, & the homeowner provides bikes so it’s perfect for our family.
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.
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)?
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.
This cottage is perfect. It was clean, comfortable, and beautifully-decorated. I love the neighborhood. So peaceful. Hard to imagine ever staying in a condo when gems like this cottage are available. And same goes for the island. A real community feel here and the beach (we chose the middle public beach) was almost to ourselves. We took the ferry to gulf Shores to check it out and I cannot begin to tell you how glad I was to have chosen Dauphin Island. If you like bumper to bumper traveling, loads of people, touristy shops and mini golf, and chaos....go to Gulf Shores. If you want to feel like a local, peaceful R&R, and an adequate choice of restaurants and small shops, go to Dauphin Island. And definitely stay at Henry’s House. They had everything we needed to feel right at home.
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!
The host was very welcoming and answered all the questions I had. The house was as described, adorable & so colorful! The fenced in backyard was exceptional for my pups to enjoy. The screened in porch was so peaceful. Definitely recommend & will be back!
