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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Leanne Potts

Host profile image

I'm a native of Mobile and have lived all over the place, but my latest residence is Atlanta.

Why they chose this property

I've been coming to the island since the 1970s, so having my own house there was a must. We're on the East End, because that's where the locals live, and it's the only part of the island that can withstand a hurricane. Plus, we like trees. Dauphin Island has one of the last stretches of unspoiled marine forest and seashore left on the northern Gulf Coast. Most of the world doesn't know about it, and we want to keep it that way.

What makes this property unique

Dauphin Island is great because it's not Gulf Shores or Orange Beach. There are more birds and turtles than tourists. If you can't live without a theme park, wall-to-wall shopping and the energy of a big crowd, go somewhere else. DI is about nature. Solitude. Peace.
