We had a great time and loved our unit at Lighthouse. Everything was in excellent condition and the bed was one of the best we’ve ever had on vacation. The shower in the master is awesome. Will definitely stay here again. The beach service was great as well.

It was a very nice condo and facility overall. Great location and proximity to main gulf shores locations and restaurants with the Hangout being just under a mile away. Great beach access and plenty of amenities (like 2 outdoor pools and hot tubs) as well as indoor pools and hot tub. Parking was easy. The elevator was annoying until I realized there were three more in the central wing which was great as well. Property management was very communicative and helpful. Security guy was very cool.Didn’t like having to pay 50 for a parking, but other than that it was great.

Beautiful Condo With Amazing View!

We had a fantastic stay at this condo in Gulf Shores, AL! The property was spotless and beautifully decorated, with comfortable furnishings that made us feel right at home. The kitchen was well-equipped and perfect for preparing meals. The view from the condo was absolutely stunning, and it was just a quick walk to both the beach and the pools. Covered parking was a great bonus. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway! Our family had a wonderful time and we created many memories.

Great place to stay

Love the location, the unit is perfect for our needs. The only two issues we're the inability to get into unit at 4:00....code didn't work. And the outrageous cost of parking there...$40 per car. Otherwise great

Nice place

We LOVE staying at Lighthouse! Hands down always recommend the building itself. This particular unit 817 was nice - some updates couldn’t hurt (peeling paint on ceiling in bathroom is one example) but worked well enough for us. It was smaller than I expected, so I’ll be keeping an eye on just how much space we have in the future.

We absolutely loved this place!!! Great location and the view is amazing! Super clean and everything about our experience was easy. No problems. The only reason we didn’t give this place 5 stars is the mattress was very tired. Update the mattress and it’s 5 stars all day long!!
