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.

I am at our condo tonight and wanted to write my own comments here. This morning we enjoyed the sunrise and this evening we enjoyed the sunset. The weather is crisp, cool and perfect. Housekeeping just finished a "deep clean" and we came to follow up behind them. I am pleased to say that there is nothing to follow up!! This place just sparkles! I am taking an inventory of things that are needed. I want to say thank you to all of our guests because they all have been so responsible and caring. The condo looks almost as good as the day we moved in. THAT is saying a lot!!

Added by homeowner from paper guest book in condo. We loved it!! Great condo, clean, pleasing to eyes, relaxing and quiet. Love the colors. This was our 48th anniversary and we have had a great time. Thanks to you for a special one day! I don't think I have ever seen sunrises and sunsets so beautiful. The balcony is perfect for both views.

Added by homeowner from paper guest book in condo. We had a wonderful time at the beach this week. We thought the weather would be bad because of Tropical Storm Fay, but it turned out to be beautiful weather. Thank you for sharing your condo with us. It is beautiful. We had everything we needed and felt like we were at home. Thanks again for everything. Hopefully we will get to come again next summer!

Added by owner from actual email. Thank you so much for a wonderful week in Gulf Shores (week of August 9 - 16, 2008). I simply ran out of time to sign the guest book with everything going on. We had so much fun and really enjoyed your condo. It was very clean. Thanks again and we are very interested in coming back next year. When will you be posting your rates for '09?

Added by homeowner from paper guest book in condo. Loved the condo from the moment we walked in. We knew it was VACATION!! Loved the beach and playing in both pools. the girls loved eating off of the "crab" plates. We found a great way to get to Wal Mart - turn right out of the complex and left at the red light at the State park. the road kind of turns through the park, but at the end take a left and you are right at Wal Mart. We look forward to coming back and have great memories to look back on.
