Hi Theodore, thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback as a means to continually improve our homes for future guests.
We hope to host you for another truly carefree and great vacation in the future!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The condo was everything described along with the resort. We enjoyed the super clean beach. Found plenty to do in the surrounding area. Thank you for letting us stay at your place.
The balcony with the ocean view was my favorite the inside and outside decor was elegant. The property should move the hot tub switch into the hot tub area only complaint.
This place was great! Location, noise level, beach wasn’t overcrowded! With it being on the 2nd floor and close to the pool, the noise was minimal. The only thing is that there were a few cosmetic things that could have been touched up, but that’s it! Great stay. Would book again!
This unit had two sliding glass doors that you could view the water from the living room and the master bedroom. Big area to enjoy breakfast or dinner on the balcony.
The 2nd floor condo was great for our short fall break trip. We always visit and stay at the lighthouse in October. With unit on 2nd floor we could easily take stairs down to access pool and beach. Condo was nicely decorated and clean. It was well equipped to fit the needs of our stay. We would definitely reserve this unit again
Could use a little TLC. Base boards in kitchen need painting. Shower needs a good cleaning. Sheets need replacing. Had a problem with the TV and it was taken care of quickly. Otherwise, it was a great experience. Would definitely stay with here again.
The place we stayed in was very clean! They are still recovering from the hurricane. With other VRBO's they will give me the check-in code before we leave Iowa to travel to Gulf Shores. The code came on Saturday when we were on the road. Did not come thru as it should. Please be thoughtful of this!
The location of The Lighthouse was perfect for the activities(golfing, shopping, enjoying the beach and eating out) that we wanted to do in Gulf Shores. This unit had parking right outside the door which we found very convenient. We were however, disappointed in the lack of comfort in a few things ( the sofa, the king size bed and the bathroom and bedroom linens)that have all seen better days. Some attention to these items would definitely bring us back to unit #217.
Great location, facility and amenities. Property manager (vacasa) is very responsive. On site security ensures the property is quiet after hours (hot tubs are closed promptly at 10:30), which we appreciated. Unit is very clean and well furnished with an amazing view and super easy parking right outside the door. Parking pass available to purchase upon arrival (up until 10 pm). Be sure to bring or be ready to purchase any cooking essentials (oil, butter, salt/pepper, coffee filters, etc.) as the unit does not come with them. Highly recommend!
