The room is more beautiful than the pictures show with a fantastic view of the ocean off the balcony and the large pond behind the property just out the front door for viewing the fountain/light show each night. The resort had everything one needs and more. We had a couple questions throughout our stay and the host responded immediately each time. The host was very friendly and helpful. Location a very short walk to beach was super convenient with young children also. Our family highly recommends !!!!

A perfect slice of heaven every time we stay at Southern Lights

We have stayed at several of the condos located in Laketown Wharf. However, after staying at the Southern lights condo, we have made this our permanent location when coming to PCB. Mike and his wife are amazing host. I have very high standards about cleanliness and they keep this condo in tiptop condition. They have a closet packed full of beach goodies and a cooler, beach umbrella, beach toys, along with a wagon to take to the beach. They supply bath towels and beach towels. They provide pretty much everything (hand soap, laundry detergent, fabric softener, sheets, dishwashing, pods, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. All you need to do is go to the store to get your food and drinks and pack a speaker for the beach. In my experience, this by far the best condo to stay at if you’re staying at the Laketown Wharf.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Rosenau

Host profile image
We are a North Dakota couple who chose to purchase a place on one of the most amazing beaches we've seen. Plus we fell in love with the emerald waters of the Gulf. Mike is the person you will interact with most and he handles most of the communication.

Why they chose this property

Our Space
Southern Lights is a comfortable 12th-floor condo that we proudly care for as hands-on owners. It offers one of the largest layouts near the beach, providing excellent, practical value for families or small groups:

Two King Suites: Located on opposite ends for maximum privacy. The primary suite has clear ocean views, an en-suite bath, and direct balcony access. The second King room has lake views and a shared bathroom.

Private Bunk Room: Twin bunk bed behind a solid wood barn door for true privacy (best for kids/teens).

Living Room: Sectional sofa includes a Queen sleeper bed to comfortably accommodate up to 8 guests total. Linens are in the primary closet.

Resort Fun & Dining
Relax on the massive private balcony and enjoy the lower-level resort perks:

On-Site Dining: Local spots like Juan Taco (our personal favorite!), Bun Lab Burgers, "In Cahoots" Breakfast, an ice cream shop, ice vending, and the Wharf restaurant. The new 810 Family Entertainment Center offers bowling, arcades, pool tables, and axe throwing.

Walkable Location: Walk to Signal Hill Golf Course, Ripley’s, WonderWorks, and Parlor Doughnuts (5 mins away). Walmart is directly across the street for easy grocery trips.

Kitchen, Beach Gear & Access
Save on dining with a fully equipped kitchen (microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker). We also supply basic beach gear—a wagon, chairs, sunshade, cooler, and crab nets—to save you rental fees. Guests enjoy full access to 5 pools, 2 hot tubs, and private beach access via a secure gate and boardwalk right next to Pineapple Willy's. (Note: There are about 5 steps down to the sand).

What makes this property unique

Full Kitchen, large fridge with icemaker, brita water pitcher, coffee maker and room to spread out are the things people say are their favorites about our condo. PLUS the VIEW! Laketown Wharf has some of the largest properties among those closest to the beach. Groups can have privacy with our 2 seperate King bedrooms on opposite ends of the condo. Bunk room has a real wood barn door, (not just a curtain) & storage area to give that space it's own feel. This condo accommodates **maximum**8 people. We have 5 beds-(total) -A king size bed in each of the bedrooms and a twin over twin bunk- bed. The BUNK room that has a "barn door" for privacy. The sectional sofa has a Queen pullout that will accommodate 2 more people in the living room- We provide sheets and pillows for that space, ***they are located in the primary bedroom closet, ***. There are 2 complete bathrooms with each having its own shower & bathtub. Past guests all comment on how much room there is for the whole family.
