  Second time at lighthouse, first time in this unit. The unit and place in general are really great!!! The view from the 15th floor is breathtaking, and the unit is very comfortable. The closet of all the beach/pool toys, chairs, etc was extremely nice, and the kitchen was nicely stocked as well. The owners were extremely easy to get a hold of and work with, which always makes things go much more smoothly. Also, the low all-inclusive rate is great!!! I couldn't recommend this place, and in particular this unit, more!!! You will have an amazing time! PS. Go do the Cold Mil Fleet dolphin cruise in Orange Beach, it is unlike any other dolphin cruise and you will be amazed!!! Also walking distance to Sea N Suds is awesome!

  The condo was perfect! It was clean and had everything you need to be a beach bum plus some. All kind of extra cooking/pantry items. View was amazing. Loved everything about it!

  Perfect location for large family. Best furnishings of my condo and great pools indoor and out. Well stocked kitchen and the beach toys available for use made packing easier and lighter. Will definitely stay again.

  Family of 4 plus BFs stayed here from Dec 26 til Dec 30....our first time in Gulf Shores...the condo was excellent in every way! Owner was MOST hospitable we had great communication throughout the stay! We want to return in the warmer months if possible, but weather was great while we were there, and we enjoyed the beach, hot tub, patio, shopping, and restaurants (Lambert's and Lulu's were favorites). I would highly recommend this owner and property! Thanks so much :)

  This is the second time we stayed in the Lighthouse but the first time we rented this unit. This unit was great! It was everything we wanted. It was spacious, and well-appointed, a very family-friendly place to stay!. The owners have provided lots of information about places to eat and things to do. It made the stay very easy and enjoyable. This condo is close to EVERYTHING! The owners were extremely helpful and gracious. We definitely recommend this condo.

  Our family of four, along with another family of three, enjoyed a full weeks stay here this summer! The condo owner was extremly easy to work with & very quick to respond to any request or questions! I would highly recommend this unit for your next stay in Gulf Shores! The kitchen was well stocked & there was plenty of pool/beach toys available for use! Both of our two families were very pleased!

After that, we can only allow for refund of this deposit and any paid rents for the following reasons: 1. Storm events: If a local government authority calls for the mandatory or voluntary evacuation of the Gulf Shores beach area due to a storm event that interferes with your arrival, we will refund your deposit and any paid rents and cancel your reservation. If a government-called evacuation were to occur after your arrival, you will be refunded for any time not used at the condo due to the evacuation prorated per day. 2.

In this unlikely circumstance, we cannot be held responsible for alternative lodging. 3. Other circumstances. At the sole discretion of the owners, refunds can be given for deposits and paid rents for ‘major’ family emergencies or situations. Please notify us immediately to request a refund for such events. Storm Evacuation, Fire Protection, Etc In case of a large storm event, please use TV and radio to stay abreast of any called mandatory or voluntary evacuations. If an evacuation is called, please move quickly away from the beach area using approved evacuation routes. In the event of a fire or fire alarm in the condo, all guests should exit the condo immediately and use the staircase to exit the building completely. The staircase should be the most protected exit route during a fire, and ELEVATORS MAY NOT WORK. Please advise children of the proper techniques for exiting a tall building and monitor them closely during any event. Plan your exit route and practice exiting the building soon after arrival. For small, contained fires, there is a fire extinguisher beside the refrigerator in the kitchen.
