Ever wish you could find the perfect Vacation Condo? This could be it! A superior designed Beach Condo for your maximum enjoyment! Most Beach Condos are a square box. These type condos have only a bedroom, and living room open onto the balcony, any additional bedrooms are over the parking lot with no beach view. You shouldn't come all the way to the beach to look at a parking lot! This three bedroom, three bathroom condo is an end unit with an extra wide floorplan and a majestic wrap around balcony for complete panoramic views of the beach, pools, ocean and magnificent sunsets! This end unit is not a square box, but a long, wider condo stretched along the beach! No more drawing straws to see who gets the bedroom on the beachside, there are two bedrooms beachside with this unit. And your Condo is decorated in a lively Beachy, Island look.
Full floor to ceiling glass running the entire length of the wall in the living and dining room, master bedroom and a guest bedroom. Each bedroom has it's own private bathroom with separate vanity/mirror dressing area. The luxury master bedroom and bath has a double vanity/full mirrored dressing area w/walk-in closet and a whirlpool tub! All the luxuries of home!
From this spacious condo and balcony you are directly on the most beautiful beaches around! Wake up to a cup of coffee on your oversized balcony and watch the Dolphins play as the boats and parasails go by. There is ample seating for the whole family outside so everyone can view the alluring water of the Gulf. Also, there are three pools, two outdoor(one kid friendly zero entry pool)and a heated indoor pool, two jacuzzis, and a great exercise room overlooking the Beach. At night, you can see the city lights of Gulf Shores because of the huge wrap around balcony! YOU GET IT ALL!
And many people think this seventh floor unit is just the right level as you walk in the front door you see a sprawling view of the water and beaches through floor to ceiling glass along the Beachside wall - Nothing but glass!! Wow! On some higher floors, when sitting down you only see the horizon, not the beautiful beach and water as you do in this Condo. On some lower floors, you can be too low, and hear the pool noise and not get the panoramic view of the Beach and Gulf. You will not regret your time in this beautiful decorated beach home. It is where my family and I will also get away for those relaxing moments that make lifetime memories.
Also, surf the Internet with your computer from any room or on your balcony overlooking the beach with our Free High Speed Internet Service. Just turn on your compatible notebook computer and the wireless router provides instant internet connection.
Our family uses VRBO in our travels and cleanliness is a must, and always a big concern with us. We give this a top priority and my personal housekeeper also cleans our condo as I live in the area. Both Cathy and I are avaliable personally if anyhtng should need attention. We pride ourselves on making your vacation the best ever, and want you back with us in the future.

Map & Owner's Profile
Big 3/3 April Deals! Big Corner Unit, Balcony Over Beach!
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Lighthouse Condominiums
The old Lighthouse Motel was on this location for 50 years. The Motel took a very large tract of beachfront making this location a "one of a kind" with it's huge stretch of beautiful white sandy beach. No other condo property in the area has over a football field of beachfront. This unique 300 plus feet of beachfront allows more pools and amenities than any other condo.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Best location around, that allows you to walk to 15 restuarants and a restuarant on a pier just down the beach. You can park and never have to drive for a world class meal or burgers! Easy in and out as you are 1/2 mile from the major 4 lane, hwy 59.
When you compare the great location, combined with the 300+ feet of beachfront that allows this property to have more amenities than any other...3 pools, 2 jacuzzis, gym overlooking the beach, 3 parking levels w/ample parking, outdoor grills and just a huge beach area for the kids!!
Sea & Suds Restuarant is at the end of this pier over the beach and water. A must dine experience!
Original Oyster House, Candy Shop, Scoops Ice Cream and more...a little farther up is a TCBY ice cream shop...two shopping centers and WalMart on the island...N. of the island is Super Target and a big movie theatre & dozens of shops...N. to Foley is the huge Outlet Mall, about 7 miles or so...the Wharf is a huge complex with everything on Canal Road half way to Ornage Beach...has a ferris wheel so you can't miss it!

Ive stayed in many condo's and beach houses over the past 35yrs, by far this is the BEST place ive EVER stayed in. The views are breath taking and the balcony is the best on the beach! This was the best vacation and most relaxing time ive ever had! Im already trying to come back! The Harper sisters shall return!
Owner response:Thanks Tanya, the beach has rebounded so well from last year's oil spill. The entire beach for miles was cleaned and raked repeatedly by BP crews. And the beach actually looks better from all this gooming. Please come back, you are always welcome. Marshall
Recommended for:Tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing, girls getaway.
The beach is oil free and beautiful

We just checked in today and I write this review overlooking the beautiful white sands of Gulf Shores. The beach is clear and clean and the air smells of of nothing but suntan oil and salt air. My family and I vacation on the Gulf Coast annually and have stayed in many condos from Destin to Dauphin Isalnd. This condo is by far the most lovely and comfortable. The pcitures cannot possible show how wonderful it is. The balcony is huge. Marshall has been great to work with. We hope to stay here again next year. If you want to relax and enjoy the beach you will be overjoyed with this condo.
Owner response:Darla and Brett, I am so glad we could exceed your expectations and help you to make some of those lifetime memories with your family. Marshall

The condo is one of the cleanest I've ever been in...We have been in many condos in the last 10 years and this is the best in every way. Thanks agian Marshall! The Lamberts - Gene & Judy

Again, a wonderful week! Still just as beautiful as we remembered from last year. We had a great time. Thanks so much for the great place to stay, "718" is so comfortable and has everything we need. We enjoyed family and friends for the week. Such a great place to get away from it all for awhile!
