About this property
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.

My daughter and I fully enjoyed our stay. Everything was exactly as described in the listing. It was a very comfortable place to spend the week. Five minutes by bike to the beach. A great backyard for the dogs. Several cute restaurants and bars to hang out in.
We had such a relaxing stay at the Beach Shack. It was just what we needed for a quiet get away. The house was very clean kitchen was well stocked. The bikes were great for exploring the island and the screen porch was a perfect place for our morning coffee. We couldn’t have picked a better spot!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Henry’s house. The host was quick to respond on any questions asked. The house was very clean and offered all the amenities that were needed. It’s also in a nice quiet area on the island.
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.
This was an incredible place on the island. So quaint and quiet and beautiful too. The screened in porch on the side of the home made our rainy stay even more enjoyable. It was lovely. This is definitely on our list of favorites now.
This place is a gem in Dauphin Island. It was everything we were looking for. Quiet, quaint and had all the amenities. We loved that we could be in such a quiet place and on the beach easily.
Beautiful house with a home like feel. Would definitely stay here again only thing it could use is a king size bed. Loved the screened porch for my mornings to read and relax. Great place to stay!
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!
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.
