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.

Absolutely perfect for us! What exactly how it was described in the description except cuter if that’s possible. First trip with a puppy so that fenced in backyard was a lifesaver. The bikes plan allow us to use or super nice and well-maintained. We went in August and the air-conditioning did not disappoint. We will definitely stay here when we return to dolphin Island.

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!

Fall is a well-kept secret on Dauphin Island. The heat breaks but it's still warm enough to go swimming. And the skies are robin's egg blue. Thanks for staying with us and please come again!
