Bring Groceries

We would recommend bringing the bulk of the groceries you will need during your stay on Dauphin Island. We do have a small grocery store on the island that is walking distance from the Hideaway. They sell a lot of necessity items, but their prices are a bit higher. We shop at Greer's Market (10835 Dauphin Island Pkwy) before heading onto the island for our stay. They offer a larger selection of food and drinks.
