Towering high above the coastline near the heart of the Gulf Shores entertainment district, this resort is known for its status as a local landmark.

As soon as you crest the Ala. Hwy. 59 bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway, the building is immediately visible in the distance, rising above the vast Gulf coastline and pristine white beaches. In fact, the resort boasts more than 600 feet of private, wide beach accessible via multiple boardwalks.

When you vacation in this cheerful, bright and well-appointed, one-bedroom, two-bath condo that sleeps six, you'll have access to a variety of amenities, including two outdoor pools (one is a zero-entry pool), a light-infused indoor pool, a sauna, two hot tubs and an exercise room.

The bedroom has a king-sized bed. Also available are a bunk bed set and a sleeper sofa.

For your convenience, there is also an ice machine on site that accepts credit and debit cards, soda machines, three grills on the east side of the building, an overnight storage area for beach equipment, and an air compressor for inflatables.

Making this building even more special is that all master baths are outfitted with a Jacuzzi-style tub and separate shower. Balcony access is available from the master bedroom and the living room.

A particularly attractive feature is the building's proximity to the center of Gulf Shores' beachfront entertainment area and site of numerous festivals and events—the newly revitalized Gulf Place Public Beach.

Gulf Place is situated at the end of Hwy. 59 where the road dead ends into the Gulf. There is a small fee to park all day here, but there's no need since it's an easy walk from your accommodations. At Gulf Place, you'll find a public green space, walking paths, shade structures, playground equipment, and restrooms.

Your condo complex is a brief walk from numerous beach shops, convenience stores, a small market, restaurants, the iconic Pink Pony Pub and The Hangout Restaurant, beach volleyball nets and more.

Parking notes: There is parking available for a fee and charges will apply for 2 vehicles.

This was a very nice property and beach area. The wristbands were annoying and scratchy. The showers were really small and shower heads were awful to rinse long hair out.

The room was clean and comfortable. We liked that we could park very close to our room. We enjoyed the furniture on the balcony. The kids always enjoy the zero entry pool. Would recommend to others

Great view and location! We like being able to walk right down to the pool without needing the elevator. This condo was clean and provided necessities. The tvs were nice and worked very smoothly. Love having the main bedroom right there on the water to hear the Gulf and see it from the bed.

10/10

Perfect spot for us! No waiting for an elevator! Parking right outside the room! Quickly take the stairs down to the pool or beach.

Condo was nice. Had some issues with tv but figured it out once we realized the internet cord wasn’t plugged in. Pool area was nice and not a long walk to the beach.

Great place for sure. Several wall patches very noticeable without painted covering throughout the condo. The door seal for the freezer may be defective. The ice tray would fill but melt into one block of ice.

Overall, a great stay right on the gulf with gorgeous views of sunrise and sunset. We loved the private patio accessible from the living room and the master bedroom. If you come, be sure to bring cooking spray, all the spices including salt and pepper you might want, non-glass drink ware, extra forks and beach towels. There are beach chairs and a beach blanket to use which was nice. Master bath had a few maintenance issues (some mold on the baseboard and peeling paint on the ceiling) but beyond that the condo was very clean. We were also glad there is an ice maker in the fridge. Upon arrival, our door code didn’t work but Customer support was right on it and we got on within 5 minutes or so. All things considered, I would rent this property again.

The location and views of the beach are beautiful. The home however needs repairs. Primer patches in bedroom, bathroom ceiling molting, LR light broken (no switch on lamp), couch pillow ripped, Bathroom sink stopper gone. Construction of new floors next door started at 8:30 am with drilling, sawing, hammering on day 3 of our stay. Finally, Vacasa responsive but a bit inflexible; asked for 3:45 pm versus 4:00 pm check in to make my brothers party at Penninsula on time. Totally unable to accomodate in what is not prime season.

We have stayed at several different units at the Lighthouse over the course of many years. This trip was a little less than up par. The building is in need of several updates. The pool had so much junk floating in it daily. The room itself needed painting. The dryer needs updating. It took three hours to dry a load of towels. The kitchen is not well stocked. Not a single mixing bowl. We had to call and get a broom from management. To their credit it was handled quickly. The tub drained slowly. Overall, nothing in itself ruined our trip, it was just disappointing when you are paying the prices you are and getting less than you expect.

10/10

Highly recommend… location - like being on this end of the beach, closer to state park and pier. Less crowded, yet easy to walk where you want. Room location in complex is great - nice view, by stairwell that’s right by pool/hot tub, trash shoot and elevator right there too. And parking close for ease of unloading/loading. Room amenities- nicely stocked. Had all cookware/appliances we needed. Had extra pillows and quilts. Nice starter supplies in larger quantities than most places. Patio furniture better than places we’ve stayed making it more comfy to do work outside, eat, nap, people watch… Cell service - both at&t and verizon had issues inside; however, the host offered a wifi password for their locked network and that worked well. Cleanliness/family oriented - facilities were kept clean. Atmosphere is family friendly. Security does walkthroughs as well. Gym - son enjoyed getting to use the cardio equipment to keep in shape. There is a gym more inland you can get day/week passes if you need more equipment to not break routine. Rentals - chair rental company very friendly and helpful. Easy to just pay cash with tip when you get there. Hats off to this company in how they have trained their staff to handle the American flag with such respect each day. Communication - easy booking with clear follow up communication in timely manner. *note site says parking pass - which you must have - is $40 but is really $50.

Place was not cleaned in our opinion. Beds were done but that’s about it. Place is in need of some serious touching up I.e. painting, trim boards, Etc

Overall it was a nice condo but both toilets ran constantly, the ice maker didnt work, paint peeling in master bathroom, very few dishes , the knob on balcony door fell off so it wouldn't lock. We have stayed at other condos in the building that was much better

My wife and I had a nice stay overall, the room is fairly nice. There are a few things that need to be addressed like anywhere you stay. They are working on the entrance doors of the building and they had left a large Crack around the door that we could see through to the walkway and if you opened the balcony door the wind would draw from the front and make loud whistling noise. The code didn't work and we was locke out the first day and had to get the office to open everytime we needed back in. They did manage to get fix on day two. The bed is very comfortable and room has nice furniture. The kitchen has some cookware but if you plan on cooking will need pots and pans. The parking is kinda tight getting in a space, but was ok, and they charged a 40.00 fee to park when I thought it should have came with the room? I may stay here again if they give parking with the room.

10/10

Beautiful property. The beach itself is perfect for anyone- they have several wooden lounger chairs that have nice mats on them and umbrellas that can be rented for the day or week. The location is so close to the gift shops, hangout, pink pony, sea n suds, and the pier. If you can manage to walk about 5 blocks, you will be right in the middle of everything. The condo staff was very helpful and friendly. One thing i wish i had known was that this was a "no smoking" condo, meaning you cant smoke on your balcony either. Not a deal breaker, just good to know! Cant say enough about how nice our stay was here. We can't wait to come back.

Our family had the best time at the Lighthouse 202 condo! Perfect location to eats, shopping and the beach!! You don’t even have to drive your car unless you want to venture further. It’s right by the pier if you want to look for dolphins and sharks or the best spot for fishing! The condo has the perfect setup with an awesome balcony…2 large pools and a hot tub to boot! The beds and overall setup were great and comfortable!
