About this property

Key To Paradise, Lighthouse 408, Beachfront, Walk to Sea n Suds, The Hangout

"WHEN YOU LOSE YOURSELF, YOU FIND A KEY TO PARADISE." (Zac Brown Band)
Take one look from the balcony of this 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo, and you'll lose yourself with the breath-taking gulf view! This spacious and newly updated condo is located in the center section of the Lighthouse building (455 E Beach Blvd, Gulf Shores, AL) on the 4th floor, which is only one level above the top floor of the parking garage. That makes it easy to use either the stairs or one of the 5 elevators in the building! The fully equipped kitchen and open floor plan make it a comfortable place to prepare meals and hang out with friends and family! Between the table and chairs on the balcony, the dining table and chairs, and the stools at the counter, there is plenty of space to enjoy meals. The living room has a large tv for when you aren't looking at the view out of the floor to ceiling balcony doors. The couch in the living room has a queen size pull-out bed. The master bedroom is equipped with a king size bed, a television, and also has floor to ceiling sliding glass doors leading out to the balcony. There is a walk-in closet and large walk-in shower in the master bathroom. The second bedroom also features a king size bed, a television, and an entrance to the second bathroom. This second bathroom with a tub/shower combination also has a convenient doorway from the hallway. A bunk room featuring 2 twin beds provides a great space for kids to sleep! A full size washer and dryer are located in the laundry room of this unit. Four folding beach chairs are stored in the laundry room for the use of our guests.

Located in the heart of Gulf Shores, unit 408 at the Lighthouse, provides the opportunity to walk to popular shopping, restaurants, and bar destinations such as The Hangout, Pink Pony Pub, Sea N Suds, and Waffle House. Enjoy the Lighthouse's large beach area, two large outdoor pools, (one zero depth entry with small fountains) indoor pool, two hot tubs, fitness room, and sauna during your perfect beach vacation!

Well kept resort with great amenities.

We've visited Gulf Shores and Orange beach for years, my family and I have stayed at several different Resorts over the years. This was our first visit to the Lighthouse resort and my family had a great time. We plan too visit again in the near future.

Perfect stay.

I will definitely try to book this condo each time we travel to Gulf Shores. The condo was clean and comfortable. The two pools were perfect for the kids of many age ranges. My 1 and 3 year old had a great time in the walk in pool. The staff were all engaging and helpful.

This was one of my favorite beach trips ever.

The lighthouse condominiums are fantastic. Our unit was spacious, up to date, and clean. The beach was clean and easily accessible. Gulf shores offers a lot of entertainment for adults and children. The food is fantastic and very reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again soon.

Amazing Stay! Will stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay. Perfect location and our room was just right for our family. The condo has lots of beach stuff like really nice beach chairs, a tent, floaties for little ones and boogie boards. We did have an issue with the ice machine in the fridge and we contacted Alicia and she sent someone to look at it ASAP. She was very helpful and checked on us several times to make sure it was taken care of. I will stay here again if I come back to Gulf Shores. Its a 10 out of 10!

1st visit to Gulf Shores and We can’t wait to return!!

This was our first trip to Gulf Shores and everything was wonderful!! The unit was spacious and fully stocked to meet all our needs on this trip. The balcony was large and had a perfect view of the beach. The bunk room will be a great feature for kids when it is completed. The amenities at Lighthouse are great! We had one really chilly day so we visited the hot tubs and indoor pools. The condos are conveniently located to nearby stores, restaurants, etc. Alicia was great to work with and everything went smoothly from obtaining parking passes to checking in, etc. It is a beautiful area and we will definitely be returning in the future and staying in unit 408!!

I loved this property! It was all redone and new. The floors were so easy to sweep and we weren’t walking on sand remnants:). It’s right in the middle of the building so the location was super. Parking lot was just one floor down and the unit was right next to three centrally located elevators. We will be back!
