Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
My name is Howard Wadsworth, you will probably be dealing with me on the rental. My wife Annettee and I have have been married for 23 years and have two beautiful girls, age11, and 7. We are from Auburn, Alabama, in east central Alabama just four hours north of our famous white sand beaches. For the past 26 years I have owned a jewelry business specializing in loose diamonds and fine diamond jewelry and Annettee has been selling local cable TV advertising for almost 20 years. We both love to travel with our children to the beach or to our lake cabin nearby.
Why the Owner Chose Lighthouse Condominiums
We bought our unit at Lighthouse because we knew it was going to be the premier location to spend precious vacation time. It is built on the site of the old Lighthouse Motel. So many guests want to return to their special beach with their children and grandchildren. I have been impressed with the loyalty and sentimental feelings so many of our guests have have with this particular strech of sand. It is truly a special place to so many. My wife and I both frequented the area before we met and always referred to the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area as "the beach" .
We have many happy memories there and we feel at home there. We know the good restaurants where the locals eat and the special places to visit. I'll be glad to share these with you. The area has a unique feel and truly is a place where everyone feels at ease. It's quaint but not stuffy, fun but not too rowdy. If you are looking for a family atmosphere or want to kick up your heels a little, this is the place!
The Unique Benefits of this Condo
Very few vacationers have the opportunity to enjoy a penthouse view on such a spacious balcony. Since no one can see in, except the sea gulls that fly by, you can enjoy your privacy with the drapes wide open all day! At this height you can still hear the waves and feel the wind but not hear the pool noise. My favorite thing to do at least once every trip is to visit the local seafood grocery. We have them prepare steamed cajun shrimp and gumbo with all the trimmings. We enjoy this special meal on the balcony overlooking the gulf from eighteen floors up and toast the sunset!

Had a great 4 nights at this condo, Since we live only about 3 hours away in Mississippi, I'm sure I'll be reserving this condo again. The 18th floor was wonderful. All the beauty of the beach without the noise. So nice not having a separate check-in location!

What a great place!

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful anniversary trip to Gulf Shores. I am "very" picky about where we stay on trips...so I search for weeks for the "perfect" place. This condo was absolutely wonderful! Beautiful view of the ocean from both living room and Mstr bedroom...comfortable bed...everything you needed was there! Everything they said about condo was true plus even better! They have done a wonderful job decorating this condo....we loved it and will return :) Thanks for providing such a great place for all to enjoy!
Owner response:These guests were spending their 25th anniversary with us! So glad to be a part of such an important celebration. So many guests are sentimental about this magical stretch of sand.

We had a great family vacation! The owners of the condo were very helpful with any and all questions. The pictures and description were very reliable. From our location we saw stingrays and dolphins everyday usually early morning. My family enjoyed being able to see them. I have a small child who was thrilled to play at the beach and the pools. He was exhausted at the end of the day. We all had a great time. I have recommended to family and friends about the condo and everything else about the property. We had a great time and would like to return in the future.
Owner response:Morning coffee with the dolphins & sting rays! Wow! How did you start your day today?! We have a big water view!! Bring your binoculars....remember to tell your wife you're looking at the dolphins!

This condo was absolutely amazing. My husband and I came to Gulf Shores for the firt time and stayed in this condo. We saw dolphins every morning and sometimes into the afternoon. The view was breath-taking every time we looked outside. We will can not wait til we come back and bring our boys.
Owner response:We love repeat guests. Our goal is to make you one!

What a beautiful view!!! We had such a relaxing vacation at your condo. The layout of the unit was just perfect for our needs. Everything we needed was within walking distance or just a short drive down the street. At this level, the only noise was the soothing sound of the waves against the beach. Music to our ears! The only bad thing is that we will have to wait until next year to come back!!! Thank you so much for working with us on the rental and for being so kind in answering all of our questions. Everything was just as you said it would be and more! See you next year!!!
Owner response:Another happy repeat guest! Thanks guys!

Let me start by saying that me, my daughter, and my mother stayed at your condo July 23rd through July 26th and it was wonderful. It was my daughters first trip to the beach and she was impressed. She is 5 and thought the bonus (bunk) room was the neatest thing. Before we left to come home we were already making plans to come back next year. The condo was nice and the furnishings were great. I left feeling like I got what I paid for, and some. I looked at lots of condos on line before choosing yours, and the decor is what sold me. I noticed you had a place in Orange Beach also. I've never understood why people took a week when they went on vacation but I do now. Three days is not enough time to do everything we wanted to do. Thanks to you and your wife for having such a wonderful place for us to come to and making our first vacation something we can look back on and look forward to each year. Owners note: Guest is true to herself...She has booked a week in July 2009.

We had a wonderful time at the Shrimp Festival and staying in your condo. After seeing the pictures of some of the others we chose this one and were not disappointed. This is the last vacation with just the two of us. Next time we'll be bringing our baby girl (due in Feb) with us. We love the view and hope to stay here again.

The condo is beautiful...the best we've stayed at! We were hesitant about the 18th floor, but the view was worth it! Emma's first trip to the beach & she had a blast. She loved all the pools, and the hot tubs too! Thank you for making a home away from home!
