The Whale House – Classic Island Cottage in Dauphin Island’s Historic Village! Welcome to the Whale House — a cozy 1920 cottage with character, charm, and a whale plaque on the front to prove it. At approx. 835 sq ft, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home makes the most of every inch and sits right in the heart of Dauphin Island’s old village. From the inviting front porch with new decking, step into a relaxed living room that flows into the front bedroom, with a quick left leading to the second bedroom where you’ll find the full bath and a tucked-away washer/dryer. The large eat-in kitchen offers seating for 4–6, tile floors, a new electric range, and a door that opens to a shady back porch, also with new decking and built-in bench seating, perfect for morning coffee or laid-back evenings. Fresh paint inside and out adds to the home’s move-in-ready appeal. The spacious backyard includes a beautiful oak tree near the rear alley and is just two lots from the island bakery — you can smell the bread baking. You're also just two blocks from Ship & Shore, local gift shops, and restaurants. Whether you walk, bike, or cruise in a golf cart, everything’s easily within reach. With its central location and flexible layout, the front of the home could potentially be used for a small business (with town approval), while living comfortably in the back — a rare find on the island. Dauphin Island offers a unique coastal lifestyle — sugar-white beaches, world-class fishing, incredible birdwatching, and easy access to Mobile, New Orleans, Biloxi, and Pensacola. Whether you’re drawn to its history, charm, or slow island rhythm, the Whale House is a place to feel right at home.
