About this property

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.

Beautiful House in a Relaxing Location

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!

Nice stay

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Leanne Potts

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.
