About this property
Key To Paradise, Lighthouse 408, Beachfront, Walk to Sea n Suds, The Hangout
"WHEN YOU LOSE YOURSELF, YOU FIND A KEY TO PARADISE." (Zac Brown Band) Take one look from the balcony of this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo, and you'll lose yourself with the breath-taking gulf view! This spacious and newly updated condo is located in the center section of the Lighthouse building (455 E Beach Blvd, Gulf Shores, AL) on the 4th floor, which is only one level above the top floor of the parking garage. That makes it easy to use either the stairs or one of the 5 elevators in the building! The fully equipped kitchen and open floor plan make it a comfortable place to prepare meals and hang out with friends and family! Between the table and chairs on the balcony, the dining table and chairs, and the stools at the counter, there is plenty of space to enjoy meals. The living room has a large tv for when you aren't looking at the view out of the floor to ceiling balcony doors. The couch in the living room has a queen size pull-out bed. The master bedroom is equipped with a king size bed, a television, and also has floor to ceiling sliding glass doors leading out to the balcony. There is a walk-in closet and large walk-in shower in the master bathroom. The second bedroom also features a king size bed, a television, and an entrance to the second bathroom. This second bathroom with a tub/shower combination also has a convenient doorway from the hallway. A bunk room featuring 2 twin beds provides a great space for kids to sleep! A full size washer and dryer are located in the laundry room of this unit. Four folding beach chairs are stored in the laundry room for the use of our guests.
Located in the heart of Gulf Shores, unit 408 at the Lighthouse, provides the opportunity to walk to popular shopping, restaurants, and bar destinations such as The Hangout, Pink Pony Pub, Sea N Suds, and Waffle House. Enjoy the Lighthouse's large beach area, two large outdoor pools, (one zero depth entry with small fountains) indoor pool, two hot tubs, fitness room, and sauna during your perfect beach vacation!

Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay! We’d love to have you back again!
Key to Paradise was just what our family needed for a spring break getaway! The hosts were amazing to work with, the view and accommodations were impeccable and the facilities were great. The condo worked well for our family of 5 with three younger kids. I could hardly get my daughter out of the bunk room during down time. Everything about this property was wonderful, including the little things like the beach chairs, sand toys, vacuum and pantry space. We can’t wait to come back.

Property was as advertised, very clean and had everything needed for a great stay, beds were clean and comfortable and bathrooms had plenty of towels, look forward to staying here again in the future.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was clean, decorated nicely and was very comfortable. The kitchen had what was needed to cook and stay in. The location was great. We enjoyed the balcony overlooking the ocean. There are nice restaurants and shops within close walking distance

This property was as advertised & well maintained. Easy access to the beach-we appreciated the beach chairs. If we came back to Gulf Shores I would stay here again.

Why they chose this property
We've been traveling to the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area for 22 years and love it down there! We finally decided it was time to purchase our own place and decided The Lighthouse had the location and amenities that were best!
