Tile floors throughout. Cleanliness is my priority!
Awaken each morning to the sound of the waves breaking only yards from your condo. Sip your coffee watching the gulls and pelicans as they catch their breakfast from beautiful turquoise waters along sugar white sand beaches. Come back to this relaxing, private balcony in the evening to catch the sunset and sip your favorite drink. Also on this balcony you can sunbathe in private while the children nap inside, or watch people below at the two pools, two hot tubs, or on the beach. One pool is especially for the kids, going from two inches deep at one end to about two feet at the "deep" end. There are fountains shooting into the air about five feet high that the kids love to run through. The other pool a shaped lap pool for real swimming. Our balcony is accessible from the living room and the master bedroom through floor to ceiling sliding glass doors. The unobstructed view for literally miles to the east, west and south is truly breathtaking.
The unit itself is brand spanking new and spotless. It was decorated with a personal touch with your every need and want in mind. Nothing was forgotten. Your stay will be perfect!
As you enter the condominium a lamp on the foyer table welcomes you. The kitchen, dining room and living room are open and inviting with high ceilings and ceiling fans. There are room darkening draperies at both the master bedroom and living room windows, allowing you total privacy and the comfort of sleeping as late as you would like!
This unit has all of the fancy stuff: tile floors throughout (no carpeting!) granite countertops, DVD players at each of FOUR flat screen TVs, two sinks plus drawers and under-counter storage in the master dressing room, huge jetted tub in master bath, plus a separate shower. There is also a corner cabinet in the master bath for extra storage.
On the telephone you can place free local calls. The Internet connection is high speed. There is satellite TV, a stereo/CD player in the entertainment center in the living room, and a queen-size sofa bed.
The kitchen equipment was well thought out. Everything you need and want to prepare that gourmet meal is right at your fingertips. There is a coffee maker, four slice, bagel-size toaster, dishwasher, microwave, stove, garbage disposal refrigerator/freezer/ice maker, blender mixer, pots and pans, utensils, and dinnerware.
There is a big pantry with plenty of shelves, plus cabinet storage galore. There is a breakfast bar with seating for four. The dining room table is counter height so that the counter height chairs can be interchanged between the breakfast bar and the table. With the leaf in, the table can accommodate eight and there are eight chairs in all. There is even a brand new vacuum cleaner in the utility closet.
There is a large laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer plus a brand new ironing board and iron. There is also storage above the washer and dryer.
The master bedroom features a king-size iron bed with soft pastel linens, pillow-top mattress and lots of pillows. The colors are soothing and restful and reflect the colors of the ocean and sand outside your window. There is a ceiling fan and a TV/DVD player housed in an armoire with drawers for storage. Beautiful lamps on each bedside table invite you to crawl into bed to read. Words can not capture the softness of this room. Please scroll down to see all of the pictures.
The guest bedroom features a pillow-top queen-size mattress, colorful bedding with lots of pillows and it's own TV and DVD player housed in an armoire with drawers for storage.
The bunk room is truly private and not just two bunks in a hallway. There is a chest for storage and adorable bedding! Put the kids to bed in a quiet room of their own. And yes, even this bunk room has it's own flat screen TV with DVD player so the kids can enjoy their own DVD's and TV shows.
The bunk room and guest room share a bright and cheerful guest bath which joins the guestroom and opens to the hallway as well.
Remember, all linens are furnished, so all you need to bring is a beach towel or two.
The Lighthouse is only a couple of miles from the new Wal-Mart, and another mile or so from the new Target and it is adjoining shopping center. The Wharf retail shopping area is not far away either. Both the Wharf and the Target area have multiple movie theatres, restaurants and a variety of shops.

Why the Owner Chose Lighthouse Condominiums
Not available at this time.
A Gulf Shores tradition since the early 1900's. A family atmosphere with lots of things for the kids to do while mom and dad enjoy the time. Food and fun!
Newest shopping area in the Gulf Shores area. Great shops and restaurants for the whole family.
Walk to the Sea 'n Suds - a Gulf Shores tradition. Fresh seafood and spirits. A deck overlooking the Gulf is the perfect place to wait or dine.
Being renovated after damage from hurricanes. It is almost complete. Fishing pier, picnic facilities and much more.
Ride through the State Park area instead of going through traffic on the main roads.
A MUST for every vacationer. Shop early for Christmas deals and for everything else you need as well.

The guests emailed me with their review when they could not get their review to go through. Here it is: Thank you, Anna! I tried to click on "write a review" but couldn't find just where to do that. So, here is our experience... We thank you for a clean, beautiful condo. The decor was beachy and fun! We especially slept well as the beds were very comfortable. The washer and dryer did beautifully and we came home with all clean clothes to put right back in our drawers! A very great thing for us all. At first we thought the 16th floor might be a bit high, but the elevator was so fast and smooth, we thought we were on the 5th instead! What a beautiful beach...so clean and well maintained each morning. We virtually had the beach to ourselves! The surrounding land (preserved) was beautiful and picturesque. We walked to the big pier and thoroughly enjoyed a beautiful day watching the fishermen. I got three feet away from a pelican sitting on the rail...we named him Nigel (from Nemo). Got lots of pics of him. We enjoyed two days during the week to go and see the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola and the USS Alabama in Mobile Bay...highly recommend both to visitors...fantastic!! We met Col. Glen Frazier who survived the Bataan Death March...evidently he is there quite often as he lives close by. An amazing human being. Anyway, we thank you for helping us to have such a wonderful vacation by keeping such a beautiful condo to stay in! We will certainly return to your condo our next stop in Gulf Shores ~ the best kept secret on the Gulf Shore for sure! :) God bless you, Robert, Lee Ann and family Kennesaw, GA

We just returned from our stay of almost 5 weeks here. Everything was as stated in listing, clean, comfy, adequate appliances and utensils in kitchen, organized well. It looked just like the pictures provided. Loved the tile floors all over, just feels clean. The location was great,good views off the balcony,covered parking a plus and location of elevators and trash shutes were close.Anna has decorated this so neat and homey, and she is very helpful and very prompt with information.The beds were very comfy. The condo itself has great pools,and hot tubs and the workout room is handy if you don't walk the beach. Hope to return next year. We were there during the 4 days of Shrimpfest which brought a LOT of people and traffic, not sure I would recommend that time unless you are a party goer and like crowds. We liked Bahama Bobs restaurant,Longhorn steakhouse,Hazels. Walmart is closeby which is always handy. We enjoyed the pier which is about a 1/2 mi walk on the beach. Some of our group fished off the pier. Wonderful stay!!
Owner response:Thank you Janet. You and your friends were a delight to deal with and it was great getting to know you. I'm happy that you chose our condo for your much-needed getaway. I look forward to having you come again. Thanks for alerting me when there was an a.c. problem and for all you did when you were there.

My family and I had a wonderful vacation at this well maintained property. This listing description and photos are very accurate. The location is great with easy access to everything. The beach was beautiful and the 2 condo pools were great. The kitchen is equipped with all the bells and whistles you need to prepare your meals. We were able to watch the incredible 4th of July firework show from the balcony. WOW!! I would not hesitate to book this condo again and I will be recommending it to my friends. Anna, you answered all of my questions and were very easy to work with. Thanks for everything.

Great Family Vacation

The condo was lovely-nicely decorated, and very clean. This unit was set up with everything you could possibly need! Beds were very comfortable. We loved the balcony and enjoyed the view from the 16th floor. Condominium complex was conveniently located to local attractions such as Waterville, and other amusement parks-great for a 13 and 10 year old. We were able to walk to many restaurants which was great-did not have to fight for parking plus got in a little extra exercise. The condominium complex was well kept, and there was a security guard on duty for extra safety. Nice big pools-2 outdoor and 1 indoor, as well as an exercise room which we never needed-so much nicer to walk out on the beach! This was a great place to stay for a family vacation-Anna was very nice to work with. We will go back!

The property we rented from this owner was exactly what was stated in the description of the website. We have rented this unit several times and everything is exactly how the owner promised. The property was overall clean. No issues. The owners are a delight, very easy to get a hold of. I would recommend this property not only to my friends and family but also to EVERYONE I talk to. The nearby activities our family would recommend is ABC Parasailing (located in Orange Beach) and the Track. The restaurants that we LOVE: Nolans, Flippers, Jake's, Bahama Bob's, Seas & Suds, Franco's, and The Original Oyster House (on the board walk).

This was our first visit to Gulf Shores. The Lighthouse was perfect for us and our two boys 4 and 7. The condo was absolutely beautiful, and so comfortable to stay in. It was very quiet and we loved the view from the 16th floor. Anna was a joy to work with. She was so responsive whenever I had a question and made sure that everything was perfect for our stay. We can’t wait until our next visit!!
Owner response:It makes me so happy to know that you enjoyed your stay. You too were so great to work with. Often when I deal with families I feel that I know them personally. That's one thing I love about VRBO. I feel as if I've made so many new friends. Thanks for being such responsible guests!

This was our 3rd year at the lighthouse and the second year with this condo! We love the view from the 16th floor as do our 3 girls. We hope to be back next year as we love this area. The weather was good we did have a couple rainy days but always found things to do! Thank you again Anna for sharing your place with us and we hope to rent from you next year.

Owner response:Thank you not only for your kind post, but also your help on several things when you were at the condo. You and your family are a delight and I feel as if I've made new friends! Thanks for all you do!
