When you first set foot inside you will be awe-inspired by the floor to ceiling wall-of-windows that lead to the condo's most unique feature- the spectacular 586 sq. ft. wrap around balcony. It's larger than some one-bedroom condos! The balcony offers a multitude of beautiful unobstructed beach, pool, sunset, and city views. The balcony has seating for 8 and there is a beautiful table for having your breakfast, lunch, or dinner all while you watch the dolphins play.

This highly-desired, newly renovated and newly furnished condo (as of April 09) has all you could ever want in your next vacation home:

* The floor plan is the largest 3 bedroom layout in the complex with 1,547 square feet of living space!

* Two of the three bedrooms not only have a wall-of-windows, but they also open to the enormous gulf front balcony. This is a highly unusual feature for a beach front condo.

* Flat screen TV's and DVD players are located throughout the condo.

* A private computer network with high-speed Wi-Fi internet is provided- it can be accessed from anywhere in the condo, including the balcony!!

* From the fully-stocked kitchen and bar to the beach chairs and beach umbrella, we have tried to make it your perfect, stress-free vacation retreat.

*Coming in the Spring of 2010-Loungers on the Gulf-Front Balcony!


Throughout our travels, one of the first things we notice when staying in a condo is the cleanliness of the unit. Our cleaners work very hard to make sure everything is spotless. We also have the unit checked to make sure everything is in perfect working order and ready for your arrival. And, we are readily available should you have any questions before, during, or after your stay.


As for the gulf front Lighthouse complex, it is the place to be in Gulf Shores. Two outdoor pools (including one kid-friendly zero-entry pool), one indoor pool, two hot tubs, and fitness center are all here for you. The Lighthouse is located 0.6 of a mile from the center of Gulf Shores (where highway 59 meets the Gulf). You can walk to many of the area's most popular eateries or take a short drive to many more restaurants, shops, and family-fun activities.

Why the Owner Chose Lighthouse Condominiums

Location, location, location! The Lighthouse is located in the heart of Gulf Shores. When we discovered we could walk to or take a short drive to all this beach community had to offer, we knew we had found the right place.

The Unique Benefits at this Condominium

The most unique benefits of staying in our condo are: it's the largest floor-plan in the building (besides the penthouse), the 586 sq. ft. balcony has sunset views throughout the seasons, and two of the three bedrooms are gulf-front and have direct balcony access (this is highly unusual for a gulf-front property).

A
The Hangout

It's back! Popular family-fun restaurant from the 50's and 60's returns with indoor/outdoor seating, bars, live music and large outdoor play area for the kids! 0.6 mile from The Lighthouse!

B
Sea-N-Suds

Established in 1975, this popular beach restaurant is within walking distance of The Lighthouse and can be seen from the condo's balcony!

C
Gulf State Park and Pier

Beautiful park with the longest fishing pier on the Gulf of Mexico at 1,540 ft, opened in July 09.

D
Waterville USA Water and Amusement Park

If you don't get enough time in the water at the beach and pools, check out this family-fun water park. Also located on the park grounds is an amusement park for your time out of the water and in the

E
The Track

A family recreation center, go -karts, mini-golf, and bumper cars, are just some of the family-fun activities you'll find at The Track.

 

Owner's Map of Lighthouse Condominiums

We are a family of four from Atlanta, Georgia (5 1/2 hour drive from Gulf Shores). We have been in the rental business for almost twenty years. My husband is in the travel business and has been to many resorts world-wide. When we found The Lighthouse and this unit in particular, we knew we had found the perfect family vacation destination.

    • Upon retiring in September after 38+ years of teaching my husband and I decided to spend the month of October at the beach. After hours and hours of searching on line, he decided that the perfect place for such a retreat was condo 818 at the Lighthouse in Gulf Shores. This absolutely beautiful corner unit condo was the perfect place for our retreat. The Lighthouse in itself is such nice resort. The location is wonderful--within walking distance of everything from good eating to souvenir shops. And, it is only a couple of miles from Wal-Mart. ? The 3 pools are all beautiful and the hob tubs are sauna so relaxing. Condo 818 is the place to be. This condo is neither too high nor too low--it is “just right” for perfect views. It is so special not only because of the full ocean balcony view, but because of the uniquely designed interior as well. It is decorated in a savvy, tasteful manner and at the same time is so comfortable. Gail and Rob, the owners have thought to include every amenity imaginable, from beach umbrellas, to surf boards, to a Barbie beach chair for the little ones. The kitchen is so well stocked that I found myself doing a decent amount of cooking. (Even seafood gets somewhat boring everyday so my hubby wanted some of my homecooking.) This condo has GREAT internet service. Several times my brother came down from his condo in the same building because our internet service was so superior. We are pretty much annual Gulf Shores visitors and we have truly stayed in some expensive and lovely spots there, but Lighthouse Condo 818 was truly THE BEST EVER. Even sand had a hard time finding its way inside this gorgeous “home away from home.” Rob and Gail, thank you for the wonderful job you have done in using your talents to create such a beautiful vacation spot. You do such a wonderful job of making your guests both comfortable and welcome. Ps 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handywork.

      Homeowner Response:
      Randy and Becky, it was our pleasure to host such fine guests. Thanks again and we look forward to your return!

    • Our entire family had a great time in Gulf Shores last week. The condo was perfect. Fully equipped, beautifully decorated and the view was incredible. It was such a treat to have breakfast out on the balcony and watch the dolphins play. We all hated to leave! I highly recommend.

      Homeowner Response:
      Connie, we are so glad your family had a good time in Gulf Shores! We look forward to your return.

    • Gail and Robert, Your condo is beautiful. The decor in all the rooms is just beautiful. The view from the balcony of the ocean to watch dolphins in the morning and also to watch your children and watch the thunderstorms is just wonderful. The beds were all very comfortable. For this being our first vacation to the beach it was a very special place to be. The environment of the condo is very relaxing. Hope to be able to come back to the Lighthouse 818 in the future. P.S. Thanks for helping us find the parking passes, your hospitality is very much appreciated. :-} The Lee Family Kevin,Jennifer,Brennan, Morgan Washington,IL

      We're so happy we played a role in making your first beach vacation special! We hope to see you again soon!

    • Great vacation and the condo was wonderful. Can't think of a nicer place I've ever stayed at on a beach vacation. Almost seemed too good to be true. Thanks again!

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks Chris! We're glad you all enjoyed your vacation and the condo. Hope to see you again next year.

      We did have a great time. The condo was perfect. The zero entry pool was excellent for the little ones. You do have one of the best views. The last morning we were there I was drinking coffee on the balcony and 3 dolphins swam by about 100 yards off shore. We will definitely be contacting you for next year. Thanks. M. Dobson (sent via e-mail to the owner)

    • The condo was wonderfully decorated. We watched the 4th of July fireworks from our balcony and it was awesome!! We have stayed in other condos in Gulf Shores, however, none can compare to this one. Hopefully we will be back soon.

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks Sherry and family! It was nice to meet you all. We look forward to your return!

      Your condo is perfect. There is nothing I would change. God gave it the beautiful outdoor view, but you gave it the perfect inside decor. What can I say about the place where my little grand-daughters learned to jump into the water and my sons renewed their band as brothers? The balcony sold me on the unit initially, but I never dreamed that it was as beautiful as the web-site showed. You hospitality has been most gracious-even to go out of your way to provide a waffle iron. We do hope to return!

      The condo was beautiful! We had a great time and hate to see the week end. My girls loved the pool and the view of the ocean was great. Thank you for all your help when we had a question. We can't wait to come back.
