The condo was amazing. Clean and with a great view. 3 great pools to choose from and also hot tubs. Close to many things to do. Would highly recommend. Host was great and offered suggestions on what to do.
Excellent location and views. Relaxing condo with a great kitchen and balcony overlooking the beach and Gulf. Pools right along the beach. Near the state park and walking distance to restaurants and shops. It was perfect for our family vacation.

Thank you for taking time to write a review. We agree - the views are fantastic. There's just something about waking up directly on the beach. Come back soon!
The condo was beautifully decorated with very nice amenities. It was a great location & we plan to rent again when we are able to come back to Gulf Shores!

What a gorgeous pic!! Thank you for the review and sweet words. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
This was our first time to the Gulf Shores and we had an absolutely blast. The condo was perfect for our family of five. We played on the beach, enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. The view from the condo is amazing and we had everything we needed. We visited in late December and so we didn’t get to enjoy swimming in the two outdoor pools, but spent hours in the indoor pool and hot tub.

Thank you for that thoughtful review! We look forward to hosting your family again soon!
Great condo, awesome views, and it was well-stocked with everything we needed! The upgraded shower is really nice! We appreciated having a regular coffee maker as well as a Kuerig. Loved the sunrises each morning, and we were treated to dolphin shows most every morning as well. Communication with the owner was outstanding and I appreciated her extremely quick responses as we were adjusting our plans at the last minute to get to Gulf Shores ahead of the winter storm that was bearing down on Arkansas and Mississippi. The weather in Gulf Shores was a little cool but we still enjoyed the beach, Gulf State Park, and the hot tub. Even on our last day when their was strong wind and temperatures in the 20s, we still enjoyed sitting in the very comfortable condo watching the waves. The Lighthouse is in a great location, we enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants. Also enjoyed the amenities - indoor pool, hot tub, and exercise room. We stay at the Lighthouse every year, its a great place.

Much appreciated. So glad you found it well stocked and enjoyed the tiled shower. I love the Kohler shower head after a long day at the beach! Come back soon!
Five Stars! This condo is simply superb. The recent updates are top-tier, and it is equipped with every amenity imaginable, turning our four-day trip into a magnificent home-away-from-home experience. Tara’s hospitality was first-class; she was incredibly helpful and responsive, even managing to pull off a gracious, last-minute accommodation for us. We cannot recommend this beautiful property and its fantastic host highly enough!

Thank you for those very kind words! There's a definite benefit of renting from owners who keep their condo like home away from home! We look forward to hosting you all again soon!
Room was great for us. Spent a good amount of time on the balcony watching the surf. Sunrise and sunset were spectacular.

We LOVE the balcony too. There's something about waking up at the beach directly on the Gulf - it's so relaxing. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
Gorgeous unit that had everything we could have needed. Loved the balcony with amazing views of the gulf. Location was perfect! So many great places to eat that you could walk to or take a short drive up the road.

About the host
Hosted by Tara Smith
Growing up in New Orleans we vacationed in Gulf Shores regularly and fell in love with the area. My husband and I loved it so much we decided to buy a condo here so we could bring our four children down to enjoy the beach in a family friendly environment.
Why they chose this property
The Lighthouse has every amenity imaginable. With six elevators, two olympic sized swimming pools and an indoor heated pool you will never feel crowded, even in peak summer times. The Boardwalk gives guests immediate access to the sugar white sands and gorgeous Gulf of Mexico. For those travelers who prefer the pools the zero entry and splash fountains are perfect for little ones. There are chaise loungers surrounding the outdoor pools for relaxing in the sun. The indoor pool is heated year round and perfect for inclement weather days. The BBQ area is perfect for those guests who want to have dinner in the condo. And, for the most dedicated travelers, there is a Gulf fronting gym and sauna.
What makes this property unique
When we bought this condo and remodeled from top to bottom! From brand new stainless steel appliances to granite throughout, our home away from home has all the comforts you expect. Our Master Suite has breathtaking views of the Gulf and the tiled, walk in glass shower is perfect for relaxing after a long day at the beach. We regularly enjoy our condo. Our frequent visits help us ensure that everything is in tip top shape! We are owners, not investors - there's a difference! Renting from our family you will get the service you deserve which can't be found with rental companies!
