We’re ENGAGED! 🥰

We just got engaged in this beautiful condo! The beach view was incredible, and the balcony is massive. We watched the sun rise and set all from the comfort of our balcony. I loved the style and furnishings, and the kitchen was well-stocked with pots/pans/utensils a keurig and regular coffee pot, as well as a blender and crock pot. Everything to make it feel like home. We might book this every year on our wedding anniversary 💕

Great Corner Condo

Plenty of room, large balcony, everything you need was there. we did have an issue with the door coded lock...they came out and changed the batteries but the door would remain unlocked when you left the condo...if you tried to lock it multiple times it would lock...they said they would change out the keypad after we left...just make sure you check that it is actually locked before you leave...the beds could be more comfortable, but they weren't the worst...make sure you bring your own coffee mugs...the Keurig was inside the laundry room and covered in dust, but it worked once we took it out and cleaned it, loungers on the balcony would be a nice addition...overall, we really liked the condo, balcony, and the spacious interior...we would book this one again,

Best Condo Yet!!

This was our family’s 5th beach vacation and by far the absolute best condo we have ever stayed at! It was relaxing from the minute we opened the door. The color palette and decor choices are spot on and only enhance the stunning views of the Gulf from the floor to ceiling windows and the massive balcony. Everything about this condo exceeded our expectations. We will definitely look to book this condo on our next beach trip!

Great time was had at the lighthouse!

Overall the place was nice! Great views from every side of the balcony. The pillows and pans were the worst but we ended up buying new pillows and left them. The master bath did have a mildew smell but overall everything worked just fine.

Wonderful Vacation

I would highly recommend this location for a vacation, it was perfect location. The only issue we had was there were no blankets in the unit and it took two days to get some because there was no one from the management team that could bring them to us. We had to sleep with beach towels and in our sweats.

Great views

Pictures represent well. Bring beach towels and light blankets for the stay. We cook most days, decent amount of cookware of a low quality. Very nice to have beach umbrella, pool noodles and styrofoam cooler in laundry room. 6 bath, 6 hand, 6 washcloths and 1 kitchen towel are all the linens at the condo. Plan on running the washing machine.

Stunning view !

Struggled to get in door during our stay. It was tricky but beyond that we’d absolutely highly recommend this condo. We will be returning the experience was that fantastic. The pools were immaculate and perfect for little ones. The beach was beautiful and so close to the condo so not long trek. That balcony was huge !!! We felt very safe on balcony even when I’m deathly afraid of heights I still stayed out there and watched sunrise and sunset. The condo itself is decorated beautifully and balcony doors out in 3 rooms. I left door open to listen to the ocean and just enjoyed every moment. I’m excited to plan my return with our family.

Perfect space for a family

This property is beautiful. It is bright and relaxing. The walk-in pool option was huge for our little ones. The huge balcony was so nice to sip coffee on while watching the dolphins. The double shower head option was amazing in the master bath! I have a few small tips that would make this condo just perfect. One is adding a throw blanket to the end of beds. It would help when it gets chill it at night after getting sunburnt. Second thing that would be so helpful is a binder with activities and restaurant suggestions with information about pool hours etc. The third thing is splurge on better toilet paper. Overall, I loved this condo and would absolutely go back!

Wonderfully time but definitely some areas to improve.

The condo was clean and private all 3 rooms were beautiful and had a decent amount of space. The beds were not the best we stayed for a week and I didn't hardly sleep very hard not comfortable beds. The only other thing I noticed is there wasn't much for bare necessities. I have stayed at several vrbo and airbb places and you normally find things like basic seasoning or oil or and sugar. There was nothing here like that and so when you stay a week and have to go purchase everything to make a basic dinner the cost adds up. Other then that it was a wonderful stay we would consider doing it again maybe if there are better beds.

Improvements, especially in communication, that need to be made

We have vacationed in Gulf Shores for decades and have been staying at the Lighthouse for over 15 years. This was probably one of the nicest units in the building and it is as beautifully decorated as the photos show. Being and end unit it has the most amazing views of the beach and the gulf. The unit also has a second full size refrigerator in the laundry room as a nice added bonus. That aside there were major issues during our stay. There were numerous facilities projects going on while we were in the complex. When I went to get our parking pass we were told of this and asked to read the “disclaimer” that was taped to the counter that stated there was work going on but “NO” specifics were given of when or where this work was being performed. Traveling for 6 hours with people in their early 80’s I did not have a choice but to stay there regardless. The major issue was the work being performed on the terrace. The terrace was locked from the outside on our first night and we not able to access for remainder of our stay. To make matters worse in the morning we woke up to 5 people outside of our windows working each day. When we went to lunch on our first day the work crew accessed the unit WITHOUT our permission or consent and moved all of the terrace furniture inside. This furniture made the entire condo very crowded for the remainder of our stay. The main issue with this is that we were not informed by Vacasa or The Lighthouse Staff that this was happening beforehand. The pool and hot tub were another issue – one pool and hot tub were completed closed during our stay and the hot tub that was open was converted into a “kiddie pool” with small children swimming there each day unsupervised by adults. I feel the building management should have been on top of monitoring the situation more closely. When we went to lunch each day there was some strange substance in front of our door that looked like insulation and there was trash that was left at the trash chute when we arrived and was there for the entire stay. The cable and WiFi were another issue in the unit. The televisions did not work in two of the bedrooms and the main TV was sporadic when it did work and was always “searching for a signal” this was every day and every night of our stay. The WiFi was the worse that I have ever experienced. I needed to log onto a video meeting while I was there which was not possible with the speed of 3.3 Mbps. When the cable was constantly out this also made it impossible to stream anything from our mobile devices. The WiFi was also not protected with a password, so I feel that it was being shared with other units. Another issue that has been happening for years is the disconnect between the management company(s) renting the units and the Lighthouse staff that is physically working at the location. There should be better communication between the two and people should be clearly informed of who they should contact with these specific issues during their stay. To reiterate we should have been informed beforehand that not only this was taking place on the complex but in our specific unit. Each time that we got into the elevator or went to any of the common areas the other guests were expressing the same complaints and concerns about their stay there. When this work is completed the complex with probably be one of the nicest in the area. I also feel that the issues with the cable and the WiFi can be easily resolved by the owners of the unit. In the meantime, strong improvements need to be put into place to accommodate guest while this facilities work is being performed.

Best views from wrap around balcony. 🐬Great condo 🏖️

Loved the condo, location and the balcony. The layout was great with each bedroom having a bath. 3rd bathroom was very small though. Fridge in laundry doesn't get cold. The thermostat must have been set up to cool at 68. I had to get up each night and turn air up. I recommend bringing your blankets. There were none in room and bedspread was as thin as the sheets. Would recommend bringing umbrella for shade at pool as none were provided. Overall a great place and we highly recommend it.
