Minor issues

This is our eighth year staying at the Lighthouse, but it is our first time in this particular condo. The check-in process was very easy, and the host was very responsive. However, my family and I had some complaints regarding the cleanliness of the condo. The sheets on the hide-a-bed were dirty, and we found dirty towels underneath the bed. Additionally, the doorknobs to the bathroom in the master suite were broken, but my husband and father were able to fix it. The shower was not clean, the lights in the bunk room flickered on and off, and often didn’t work, and the vacuum cleaner was also unusable. These are all minor issues that are easy to fix, and is the only reason I didn’t give this unit a five-star rating across the board. We love the Lighthouse; as I mentioned, we have been coming here for many years. It is a great location and my kids' favorite place to be.

Quick get-away

This was comfortable and acceptable. View was amazing!! Beach area was great. The furniture was dated - mattress was not comfortable in the primary. We arrived to a broken wicker table on the balcony. But for what we were looking for it was fine. Had every imaginable kitchen gadget and more cutlery and dishes that we expected.The issues we had were addressed very quickly and the property management team was very quick to contact and respond to us. We would stay there again.

Fun place for a family vacation.

The layout of the condo was great for two families of four. The host was very quick to respond to a maintenance issue and it was fixed quickly. The Lighthouse is a great condo. Close to the beach and everything you would want in Gulf Shores. My only complaint would be that the condo just needs a little refresh. The kitchen items and living room furniture were worn down.
