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 features a queen 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!

PARKING PASSES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY UPON ARRIVAL. Passes are $50 per vehicle per stay but the building reserves the right to change this price at any time.

Due to HOA policies and severe allergies, there are no animals allowed in this condo.

Perfect for a family of 5
Just impressive all around....It had 3 bedrooms plus a bunk bed room which gave us a true bed for all 5 of us in a 2 bedroom unit. Our host always responded immediately and worked with us as our plans had to accomodate some last min adjustments..didnt have to bring beach chairs because she had some for us... just perfect all around

Great Place to Stay!
We had a wonderful time at the lighthouse and loved this condo. We go each year and have stayed in different condos at the lighthouse and this one is by far our favorite. Updated, very clean, and had everything we needed for a wonderful week at the beach!

Best time ever!
Opening the door to the condo and seeing the beautiful decor, I was awestruck. Such good taste. We have vacations three other times at the Lighthouse and they didn't hold a candle to this unit. It was so well equipped, more than we expected by far. Our communication with the owners was excellent. Very nice people. We will definitely book this condo again.

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!

Perfect Family Vacation
The condo was perfect for my family. It was very clean and had all of the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved having both lounging furniture and a table with chairs on the balcony and used them often. It was also very close to the elevator, which was convenient. Will definitely plan to stay here again!

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.

Condo was nice and as described in advertisement. It was conveniently located. I like balcony furniture however, weather didn’t permit much use. The only negative is the small shower in master bath.

Lighthouse 408
We enjoyed our stay at the lighthouse. The property was very nice. Our condo had everything we needed. If I had a complaint, it would be that the cleaners need to do a better job. There was dust under the beds. And the bathrooms wasn’t that clean. The baseboards were very dirty. Other than that, we loved the place. I recommend the lighthouse!

Absolutely Amazing!!!
This property is exactly as described and was immaculately clean! There was more than enough room for the 7 of us, and the location was perfect for getting all 4 of my kiddos and my disabled mother down to the beach. The view was beautiful from the balcony, and we were only a few minutes from stores, restaurants, etc. We brought our own stuff, because we weren’t sure what to expect, but there are plenty of beach chairs and toys available for use. The kitchen is fully stocked as well. We honestly couldn’t say anything negative about this property, or the owner, who stayed in constant contact with us. Our experience/stay here was nothing short of being absolutely amazing!

Why they chose this property

We've been traveling to the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area for 22 years and love it down there! We finally decided it was time to purchase our own place and decided The Lighthouse had the location and amenities that were best!
