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.
