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 location and easy access! My only complaints are: beds were so incredibly hard, tiny room seemed even tinier with the double bed on bottom bunk, and tv in the tiny bunk room didn’t work. Still a great place and was so nice to relax in after a busy day. And, of course, the view was fantastic.

Over all good stay. We checked in at 430 to find condo not cleaned. I called number and they we're very helpful and sent over a cleaning crew. They we're very respectful and prompt. How ever did not leave any toilet paper and tolls. Also we had to wash the towels in condo all were dirty. They did refund our cleaning fee. My wife cleaned it before we left and it was almost perfect. IT had a great view and bed sleep well. Tv left lot to be desired but I'm not there to watch tv.

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.

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.
