We loved our view from the balcony.The staff is very friendly. We had an amazing time. The guy on the beach, His name was Andrew, think his last name was Forrest.He is an exceptional worker.He has the best work ethics.Hes on the go, and full of energy with a smile on his face, from the time he walks on the beach, till the time he walks off.By watching him, he takes great pride in works.He is precise, and pays a lot attention to detail..The best worker I've ever seen

Great location
Pros- easy check-in, great location, amazing view, the balcony was perfect for morning coffee and eating meals, furniture was comfy, and while the building was big- it didn’t seem too busy. Cons- the condo could use a deep clean (a lot of dust and dirt on wall art and curtains), the tv in the bunk room had no cable box so couldn’t use it, loose screws on the bunk beds, only 1 small dish towel was given Overall, it was a great trip and we would visit again!

Beautiful view
The Lighthouse itself has beautiful pools, views from the balcony and excellent beach access. The unit itself needs the furniture replaced and the master bath needs upgraded shower head and some baseboard paint at the very least. We have rented many units at the Lighthouse over the years but would not recommend 809.

Read the reviews -unit needs work
There were things mentioned in the reviews that I thought would honestly have been fixed by now. Unfortunately, that was not the case and when I emailed the property manager before our stay they had indicated the property was fine. However, the flooring in the master bedroom is cut inconsistently with the walls and there are gaps between the floor and the wall. There IS mold in the master bathroom that has been painted over (can’t hide mold though) and the shower in the guest room leaks. The couch in the living room is gross and the tv is tiny. Overall, the location is a prime spot but the unit needs a LOT of work. Figured the owner doesn’t care cause the unit will continue to be rented. Going to go back to Southern Rentals next time.

Great unit. Needs updates.
Loved the location but this unit really needs some attention. The showers leak and the master bath had water damage on the baseboard. We couldn’t use that shower due to leaking. The furniture was dirty and worn out. We spread sheets out to sit on the sofa. The bedroom dresser was beat up looking and the drawers fall out when opened It’s a really nice unit but please fix those things.

Need new bath towels!!!!
The only problem we had was the bath towels were totally awful we had to use our beach towels (they were water resistant) and didn’t have a plug for the bathtub. Other than that it was great and would stay there again

Ok for Spring Break Types
Great size. Great location with beach access and nice pools. Had to walk through a dark parking area or go outside to get to fitness area. Didn't feel comfortable doing that at 6 am. Never stayed in a VRBO with such crummy furnishings, including the TV. However the bed was comfortable, even though the king-sized bed had a queen sized (or smaller) flat sheet that obviously didn't fit the bed. Furniture was stained, broken, worn out. We were on a working vacation. Weekend was fine. But come Monday we had to find a coffee shop to work since interior jackhammers were going on all around, but especially next door. Ask for a credit since we couldn't stay in the condo during the day, but we were refused.

Least favorite condo
Vacasa was great, very attentive and quick to respond to issues. However the condo was a big disappointment. Unfinished floors, bare thresholds and bedroom furniture that was falling apart. Sofa was awful. I have stayed in condos in Destin, Panama City, Navarre, Pensacola and many more. My opinion I would not recommend this unit in its current state.
