We had a wonderful time at the condo. No issues with the room. Some concerns about being next to the elevators but they were not a problem at all. Loved the door key pad and 3rd floor parking. Easy loading/unloading from vehicle. Owners were easy to work with.

Overall, unit and complex were fine. Unit and property were maintained fairly well. Kitchen, 2nd bedroom, standup showers, and toilets were "cozy," and difficult to maneuver in. Property goes a little overboard on security with codes, cheap wristbands, and security who are determined to bother everyone. Disappointed that the parking fee wasn't mentioned or covered in rental.Beach was well-maintained in front of property. However, a family reunion of close to 30 set up an encampment and took up a significant amount of space.

Fantastic Vacation
This vacation was fantastic. The condo was beyond perfect. It was located in probably the best spot of the whole complex. Easy walk to beach and plenty of room at the pools. I cannot wait to go back and rent this unit again. Was given everything I needed to start my vacation off right from soap to trash bags. Couldnt have rented a better place.

On the Beach
The property was very nice and located directly on the beach. The condo was fully stocked with anything you might need. It was clean except for left over hair on the sink. The property manager we contacted to get the code was rude…..the directions will tell you to text between 12 and 3 for the code. When I texted at 2:00, she replied that the condo was not ready and I would get the code at check-in at 3:00. I sent her a picture of the directions to assure her I wasn’t trying to get in early (we were still about 2 hours away). Don’t put that in the directions if it doesn’t apply!! Other than that, it was good.

Perfect location, great parking, great unit everything you needed in the kitchen, beautiful huge balcony, great view of both pools, beach and ocean. You can access the balcony from the master bedroom or the den. Both rooms have spectacular views. Very comfortable beds. Just a great condo for the price! When I return to Gulf Shores, I plan to ask for unit 309. Part of the website says it’s just a one bathroom, but it is a two full bath. Once again, just a fantastic condo.
Way exceeded our expectations

Perfect Family Getaway
The condo was clean, well equipped, and has beautiful views. It stormed pretty decently one of the days we were there, and we got to see the storm clouds rolling in, and we saw some dolphins off in the distance. My wife and I traveled with 3 toddlers, and we all had a great time. We really liked that there are 2 pools, and 1 is perfect for younger children. We would definitely book again.

Needs a deep clean but excellent location and views
Location of the unit is perfect for everything. Easy access to the parking deck. Great view and close to everything. The owner communicates well and was helpful. When we arrived the unit was very dirty. Filthy actually. They are struggling with adequate reliable cleaning people and you could tell. We never used the bathtub in the master bath because it was filthy and covered in soap scum and hair. The cleaning people did come back the night we checked in to clean the kitchen and gather the trash off the floor in the pantry and to sweep the floors. They didn't get to the bathroom, but we purchased cleaning supplies to clean the master shower but decided to leave the bath tub alone. The owner did offer to reimburse us for cleaning supplies which I declined. I think in between guests, a very deep clean needs done. I recommend replacing the shower door in the master bath. While the shower head has been mentioned needing turned a certain way so the water doesn't leak out, the door is the issue, not the shower head. There isnt a good seal on the door so that's why it's leaking. The unit needs area rugs and more towels and kitchen cloths need provided. I understand guests can ruin things but 5 total towels for a unit that sleeps 6 is not enough and we had one dish towel.
Plan on getting up by 530-6am if you want a front row spot on the beach as a beach service not directly related to The Lighthouse units sets up rentals for people and if you don't get out there to claim a spot, you will not get a front row. With a young child, being close to the water to observe her was vital for us so while waking up at 530 on vacation wasn't very fun, we did it to claim a spot each morning. Many of those rentals also go unused all day so we heard many people upset over this. Besides these hiccups, the place is as advertised and if cleaned thoroughly, we would likely consider returning, if not to this unit, to The Lighthouse for sure. We had friends staying in 811 and their place was immaculate so there are some reliable cleaning people out there. I was responsible for contacting the cleaning people myself to send photos to and to arrange to return but it was through text so it wasn't too overly inconvenient. Despite having to do this part, the owner was very responsive and easy to work with and was apologetic.

Summer vacation 2022
We always enjoy our stay at Lighthouse Condos! This was our 4th year coming and our first year bringing our 2 & 3 year old children.
Lighthouse was wonderful as always, well maintained, clean, and family friendly. It was all smiles and friendly conversation from security guards to office staff.
We were scheduled to check in at 3:30. However, our room was not fully cleaned and ready for us until 5 pm. Thank goodness we hit traffic from Montgomery- Gulf Shores and our arrival was delayed by 2 hours or we wouldn’t have been able to check in.
We did not receive our door code or wifi information until the room was ready so 4:45-5 pm. However, communication with the owner via email was efficient and informative as far as using the door code, explaining when check in information would arrive, purchasing a parking pass, etc.
We eat in for breakfast and lunch and tend to go out for most dinners. With toddlers we did need to prep hot meals for them a little more often and my only recommendation would be hot pads or oven mitts in the kitchen. Otherwise, the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and plate ware. We did use the umbrella by the pool to keep the babies shaded at times which was helpful. There was also beach chairs to use as needed.
The master shower is tricky as it does leak if you don’t have the shower head positioned to the far left while in the shower. We made sure to use an extra towel outside of the shower to help with this.
Because of this I would say a few additional towels would be appreciated in the condo. We did laundry several times to maintain clean bath towels as we had 2 adults and our 2 toddlers staying in the condo.
Staying on the third floor was wonderful with little ones. It is our preferred floor and the views from the living room balcony and bedroom were outstanding.
We are looking to book our trip soon for next year. We hope to stay in the Burns’ condo once again.

Some info for guests staying after us…
I never received the check in info from VRBO, so had to contact the owner by phone two days before our stay. Once I was able to speak with him, I received detailed information by email. The shower in the master bath does leak. The dryer takes a long time to dry, so plan accordingly. The cost for parking is $40, with a card only.
My biggest letdown was that the pool feature drowns out the sound of the waves hitting the beach…it runs 24 hours a day.
