More info on this beautiful west-corner condo:

When you first set foot inside, you will find floor-to-ceiling wall-of-windows that lead to the condo's most unique feature- the spectacular wrap-around balcony. It's larger than some one-bedroom condos! The balcony offers a multitude of beautiful unobstructed beach, pool, sunrise, sunset, and city views. It has seating for 8 and there is a table just in case you decide to have your breakfast w/the dolphins. Two beautiful loungers round out this well-appointed balcony.

This highly-desired, beautifully furnished condo has many more features including:

* This floor plan is the largest 3 bedroom layout in the complex with 1,547 square feet of living space!

* Two of the three bedrooms not only have a floor-to-ceiling wall-of-windows, but they also open to the enormous gulf front balcony. This is a highly unusual feature for a beach front condo.

* All three bedrooms have attached full baths (the third bathroom also opens to the condo hallway).

* Flat screen TV's are located throughout the condo.

* High-speed password protected WIFI is provided- it can be accessed from anywhere in the condo, including the balcony!

*Key-less entry system (for guests' convenience and safety).

* Electric balcony grill (you don't have to wait in line at the complex's grills).

* From the fully-stocked kitchen and bar to the beach chairs, pool towels, and rolling cooler we have tried to make it your perfect, stress-free vacation retreat.

Throughout our travels, one of the first things we notice when staying in a condo is the cleanliness of the unit. Our long-time cleaners work very hard to make sure everything is spotless. They have worked w/us since 2009! We are blessed to have them! We are also readily available should you have any questions before, during, or after your stay.
As for the Gulf front Lighthouse complex, it is the place to be in Gulf Shores. Since Hurricane Sally in September 2020. The Lighthouse has received extensive updates, including, but not limited to new walkways, the entire building painted, etc. The Lighthouse has two outdoor pools (including one kid-friendly zero-entry pool), one indoor pool, two hot tubs, sauna, fitness center, and it is located directly on the white-sand beaches of Gulf Shores. The Lighthouse is located 0.6 of a mile from the center of Gulf Shores (The Hangout-where Highway 59 meets the Gulf).

NOTE: Parking passes are currently $50 per car, per stay, but subject to change without notice. Max is two cars per condo. Pay at the office upon arrival by credit card only.

Gulf Shores and the Alabama Gulf Coast area have many interesting activities for all members of your family. There are many restaurants within walking distance or a short drive from our condo. You can even view the local favorite, Sea-N-Suds from our balcony! Other nearby family-fun centers include a water and amusement Park, a zoo, miniature golf, and go-kart tracks. The Tanger outlet mall is about a 20 minute drive from the beach, and there are numerous fishing charters, a tennis facility, world-class golf courses, and OWA amusement park nearby. The Wharf, located in nearby Orange Beach has many shops, restaurants, and an amphitheater where many famous music artists perform. Short day trips include, Ft. Morgan where you can take the ferry across Mobile Bay to visit the Dauphin Island Estuarium Sea Lab and the Bird Sanctuary and Pensacola, Fl where you can visit the Naval Aviation Museum (home of the world famous Blue Angels).

Amazing view!
Go to Gulf Shores every couple years and I will say this property has been our favorite so far! The view was amazing. We could be sitting on the couch inside and see dolphins just from looking out. The beach was beautiful as always. The pools were very nice! We loved the walk in pool for our kiddos. The property manager was very nice and very responsive and made our stay very welcome! Kid friendly property, plenty of beach toys, chairs, towels, everything we needed!

Beach oasis
Everything about our stay was fantastic. All amenities were in working order. Everything we needed to cook breakfast and lunch without going out so it didn’t cut into my beach time! The beach chairs were great touch, so we didn’t have to buy anything. Loved being able to wake up each morning and step out on the balcony to see the sunrise from the door in the bedroom and not wake up the kids! The balcony is huge and the table and chairs were great to sit out on in the evening. Would definitely look at booking here again for our next stay!

Wonderful place to call home for a week!
Gail and Robert’s property at 818 was wonderful! Thank goodness, because Hurricane Francine happened, and well, the beach and ocean were not happening… we had about a 1/2 a day in the beach and in the water. 😔 Communication w Gail was prompt. Directions to/abt things regarding condo were clear and easy to follow. We look forward to inquiring abt another property of theirs in TN on a future trip. They couldn’t control the weather, so luckily their place was really nice.

Beautiful Memories
We spent 4 wonderful days here. The condo is updated and beautiful. It was very clean. The balcony is everything!!! Snack and drink machines are on site and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. Having to wait in line to buy parking passes was the most enjoyable thing but nothing reflected on the host. The pool was having some issues during our stay but we enjoyed the indoor pool, lounge chairs and of course the beach. We will definitely be back.

Great place, beautiful view
This is a great condo! We had 6 adults with us during our stay ranging from ages 28 to 82. My dad has really bad knees and has a hard time walking far distances, but had no issues with the location of this beautiful corner unit. The view from the moment you walk in the door is amazing!! The kitchen is fully stocked, there was nothing we needed that we didn't have. The owners of the condo provide beach chairs and other items to take to the beach. The balcony is bigger than it looks in the picture, although not much. If we had all 6 chairs around the table, you could not walk past it (you could if only using 4 chairs), but there are 3 doors along the balcony to use to get around it. The only complaint we had was the shower and the toilet closet in the master bathroom are very small. I had no issues with the toilet closet (I am 5'5" and weigh about 170 lbs), but it was a very tight fit for my husband who is 6'4" and weighs around 300 lbs. We both felt like the shower was too small. The owners were easy to communicate with and were super responsive to any questions we had. Overall, this is a great place and we would definitely stay again.

Great view and beautiful beach
The condo was very spacious and the view of the beach/ocean was great. The condo was well furnished and the kitchen had all that you needed. The only drawbacks for us were the bathrooms, specifically the Master Bath. The shower/area was not what you would expect. We were able to use the other bathrooms,so it worked out ok. Overall, the view from all the ocean from the rooms was great and the huge patio was very nice!

Just As Portrayed
Everything was great. Condo was clean and spacious. Loved the room lay outs. Middle bathroom had low shower head pressure and a hand held would have been nice but other than that, no complaints. View was incredible. Outdoor area was huge and nice furniture. Outdoor girl was a little questionable at first. It was very windy and didn’t think it was going to stay hot enough to cook the food but it did just fine. Infra red or something. Will be back again.

** PERFECT VACATION!! **
We rented this property recently for a long overdue vacation with friends. The condo was nice, clean, and well equipped. It had everything we needed and more. While we did not use some of their amenities, we noticed there were toys for kids, water boards, floats, beach chairs, coolers, and beach towels, just to name a few. They had pretty much anything you could think of for a family/friends vacation. The scenery from the two front bedrooms and living room was spectacular. We were able to watch dolphins everyday while having coffee on the balcony. Gail was a joy to communicate with. We rent through VRBO very often and she has, by far, been the best. She made the process very easy. We did not have any issues checking in or leaving. The office staff at the lighthouse were very friendly and helpful. Shout-out to the night-shift gentlemen for always smiling and being very helpful when needed. The guys on the beach, where we rented extra chairs and umbrellas, were awesome! Our entire trip was flawless! You can't go wrong renting this property at Lighthouse, Gulf Shores, AL!
