About this property

Sweet Home Alabama! Lighthouse Condominium Vacation Awaits!

Beautifully decorated and annual upgrades completed - 2 bedroom, 2 bath BEACH FRONT condominium! This is your new home away from home. Wake to the sounds of the sea from your own King Size Bed and enjoy your coffee from the balcony overlooking the sea from the 6th floor of your Lighthouse Condominium.

A wall of windows separate our gym and indoor pool from the beautiful beach! Take a dip in one of two kid friendly fountain pools, or just relax in one of the hot tubs.

Exit the pool gate and step in glistening sugar white sand for a day at the beach. Your own teak lounge chair awaits you and so does the turquoise water of the Gulf of Mexico. This is all just a click away.

Time to escape to our relaxed southern living and rest in our luxurious condo on a warm sunny beach? The Lighthouse is the place to be and Gulf Shores of Alabama is as fine as it gets! This little strip of heaven is seconds from Florida and a click away from your enjoyment.

The numerous amenities are listed and the many fun-filled activities with fabulous dining are minutes away from your condo. Swim with the dolphins at the wharf or enjoy OWA, the new amusement part, and go-carts and water slides. Have a cheesburger in paradise at LuLu's restaurant or hit the Florabama for some fun. Putt putt your way across ice cream stores and enjoy Rita's Italian Ice and Frozen Custard... This is just to name a few...

WE KNOW YOU WILL LOVE IT HERE!

Gulf shores condo
We loved this condo! I cannot say enough great things about the owner- I tend to have a bit of travel anxiety and I’m sure bothered him with questions, but he was so kind and informative and made our stay so comfortable. Condo could have been a bit cleaner, but the cleaning company I’m sure has many condos and I’m a bit of a neat freak. When I asked the owner if there was a swiffer, he offered to have the cleaning company come back. When I said that’s ok, he offered to drop off cleaning supplies. Overall just such a nice guy, condo was stocked with everything we needed and in a great location. Would definitely stay again.

Great Condo!
Great condo that has been updated in beautiful beachy colors. Really enjoyed the spacious balcony which provided a great view of the gulf and the beach. Comfortable beds and plenty of beach toys to use during your stay. Big tv’s in the bedrooms and nice kitchen equipped with everything needed to fix a meal for your family and friends. We loved our stay and will try to book this unit again in the future!

PERFECT
The condo was perfect for us! Location is amazing, beautiful views of the beach and water, and we felt at home. Quick and good communication with the owner. Checkin was a breeze. Condo over sees the pool. The condo had everything that we needed and was very pleasant. Beds were very comfortable. We will be back!

Gulf Shores Family Vacation
The owner was quick to respond with any questions I had. There is a bonus bunk bed room my 2 year old and 5 year old grandchildren slept in and it was great. Condo was very easy to get to. There is a parking fee of 50 per car in a large garage. Parking spaces were a little tight. Condo was clean for the most part. Great place to stay, highly recommend. Owner Rob was super nice. We hope to stay here again one day. Thank you Rob for letting us use your home.

Great family trip
Beautiful condo, perfect location, close to restaurants and shopping, so conveniently located, especially when you have older teenagers with you and they can go and explore! The condo had everything we needed, and owner immediately fixed a situation with a missing a futon, and brought us a brand new large queen mattress! Everyone enjoyed the pool and easy access to the beach. I think we will definitely try to book this unit again for next year!

Family friendly condo in a perfect location
Absolutely fabulous trip! The host answered all of my questions quickly and kindly, and the check in process was seamless. The condo is beautiful, yet cozy, and a great place to call home base. It was clean, well-stocked, and roomy enough that we weren’t on top of each other. I loved having coffee on the balcony in the morning, listening to the waves. The beds were also really comfortable! The overall property is well-kept and easy to navigate. This 6th floor unit is close to the elevators, yet extremely quiet. We heard no noise at all from any of the surrounding units. We could leave the condo and be on the beach, setting up our cabana, in less than 5 minutes. Parking was easy and covered, which was a bonus. It’s close enough to walk to Gulf State Park, and also walkable to tons of restaurants and shops. We will happily stay here again next time we come back!

Beautiful Beach-Front Condo
This condo was absolutely gorgeous. Extremely well maintained, clean, open floor plan with plenty of space for our group, and a perfect beachfront location. The pool and hot tub amenities were really nice, clean, and well patrolled by security to keep out anyone who was not a guest in the building. The host was responsive, was easy to work with, and made sure we had everything we needed. Check- in instructions were easy and understandable and we had no issues checking ourselves in. Parking does cost extra, but that is a community-wide charge for every guest in the building and not charged by the host. This was by far one of the best stays I’ve ever had in Gulf Shores. I would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic condo fronting the beach - perfect for small family!
The owner of this condo communicated really well with us as we showed up to the condo and it had not been cleaned quite yet by the cleaning crew. He immediately addressed the issue and had it cleaned and was very apologetic. The condo has a great set up with three bedrooms and a fantastic view of the ocean! We really enjoyed our stay and will be back again soon!

Stay
I was very disappointed. There were no towels. Found them in the dryer. The dishwasher was full too. No sheets on top bunk bed and only fitted sheet on bottom bunk bed which had sand in it. The ladder on bunk bed was dirty. I am a maid at home and certainly didn’t want to come on trip and be a maid..

Great time
Weve stayed at the Lighthouse numerous times, each time in a different rental. Overall, the condo was well equipped and clean. We had to contact the host one time for the wifi password ans he responded almost immediately. The beach right outside the Lighthouse is absolutely beautiful. We were very pleased. The only two downfalls of this property, that are at no fault of the condo owners, is that the outdoor pools are not heated, which means they are cold around spring break time, but perfect in the summer and the elevators take a while especially during busy times. However, with this one being on the 6th floor, park on the 3rd floor and you only have a quick stair trip :) We are adding this to our Lighthouse stay again list.

Overall stay was great! However, there was no double futon as listed in the description which was ok for the amount of people we had staying there, but if we had planned on more people, it would not have accommodated.

Delightful
We throughly enjoyed our month stay on the 6th floor at the Lighthouse condos. The ocean view every morning was breathtaking. You can see the sun rise and set from the beach. 😎🌞 Check in was a breeze with Connie in the office and attaining the permit for covered parking. The building is meticulously maintained. Two very large pools outside, heated indoor pool, two hot tubs, workout room and sauna. Everything you could want. Lots of restaurants nearby. I highly recommend.

Great condo and location!
The condo itself was amazing. Great location. A short walk to The Hangout, grocery store, souvenir shops, snowcones, etc. The condo was clean and the beds were very comfy. You must pay to park at this condo...I have never had to do that before so I was shocked. The listing did not state that so we were blindsided, however, the host did make it right and apologized. Overall it was a great stay and we will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Rob Tarr, Owner

Host profile image
We are a former military family and absolutely fell in love with Gulf Shores, Alabama and just had to invest in property as beautiful as the Lighthouse!
It has been a blessing to host amazing families from all over and we feel as though our guests become a part of our family!

Why they chose this property

We are affordable since you are dealing with the owner directly - no agency fees passed on to you! Our Condo is beautiful and clean, and we're directly on the beach. This unit is on the 6th floor near the center (close to the elevators) so access to/from the beach is very convenient.

What makes this property unique

The Beach has beautiful white sand and is a must see condominium. 'The Hangout' is a just a short walk on the beach to get to and is voted one of the best places to visit at the Gulf Shores.
