*The Lighthouse is a smoke free facility and you must be 25 years of age to rent here. Absolutely no refunds if your age is misrepresented, you smoke or disturb other guests*

**As an additional layer of security and to ensure our common areas are maintained and used by our guests only, guests ages 12 and older will be required to wear red wristbands inside our gated common areas during peak summer months. Writstbands are provided by security upon arrival. If you need additional wrist bands please proceed to the office on the 2nd floor.

**Gulf Shores was hit by Hurricane Sally in September of 2020. The Lighthouse is fully operational but some owners have taken the opportunity to do repairs to their units and the HOA is continuously improving our resort to keep it a top destination in Gulf Shores. We have been down several times with no problems but wanted to mention the possibility of repairs/improvements in the event any were ongoing.

Amazing getaway
An absolutely beautiful condo with breathtaking views! The host was attentive and help with all questions. The condo was well stocked with necessities and very clean. The area boasts amazing restaurants and shops and everything was easy to access. The balcony was the best part, sipping coffee in the morning to enjoy the sunrise or just relaxing enjoying the ocean breeze! 10/10 we will absolutely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Tara Smith

Host profile image
Growing up in New Orleans we vacationed in Gulf Shores regularly and fell in love with the area. My husband and I loved it so much we decided to buy a condo here so we could bring our four children down to enjoy the beach in a family friendly environment.

Why they chose this property

The Lighthouse has every amenity imaginable. With six elevators, two olympic sized swimming pools and an indoor heated pool you will never feel crowded, even in peak summer times. The Boardwalk gives guests immediate access to the sugar white sands and gorgeous Gulf of Mexico. For those travelers who prefer the pools the zero entry and splash fountains are perfect for little ones. There are chaise loungers surrounding the outdoor pools for relaxing in the sun. The indoor pool is heated year round and perfect for inclement weather days.
The BBQ area is perfect for those guests who want to have dinner in the condo. And, for the most dedicated travelers, there is a Gulf fronting gym and sauna.

What makes this property unique

When we bought this condo and remodeled from top to bottom! From brand new stainless steel appliances to granite throughout, our home away from home has all the comforts you expect.
Our Master Suite has breathtaking views of the Gulf and the tiled, walk in glass shower is perfect for relaxing after a long day at the beach.
We regularly enjoy our condo. Our frequent visits help us ensure that everything is in tip top shape! We are owners, not investors - there's a difference!
Renting from our family you will get the service you deserve which can't be found with rental companies!
