About this property

West Corner Luxury w/Spectacular Views!

We are the Lighthouse 8th floor, west corner unit! High enough to be above pool noise and to have beautiful, panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico and the sugar white sand beaches of Gulf Shores.
What's new?
2025
Primary bathroom now has a beautiful 9x5 all-tile walk-in shower w/2 showerheads (one is a rain shower)!
We continue to update our condo to keep it looking and feeling beautiful for our guests.

Panoramic beach, gulf, pool, and amazing sunset views are what this luxury condo has to offer you from its 586 sq. ft. wrap-around balcony!
If you need another (larger) condo in The Lighthouse, check out our 4/4 penthouse VRBO #409620.
If have a mountain getaway in your future, check out our luxury 4/4 & 1/2 bath cabins w/private, indoor heated pool, home theater, 2 game rooms, hot tub, and amazing mountain views VRBO #910972 & 1742342. Both are located in Pigeon Forge, TN near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

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).

* 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).

Very nice vacation spot on the beach

818 is a beautiful vacation spot on the beach. The owners were communicative and pleasant to deal with. The unit was clean and in good condition. The design was perfect with the family area and two of the three bedrooms having access to an oversized, wrap-around balcony overlooking the beach

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!

Lighthouse 818

The experience my family & I had at Gulf Shores was absolutely wonderful, but having a place to stay that was so awesome made it even more incredible! We were extremely satisfied with our stay in Lighthouse 818. It was beautifully decorated, very clean and conveniently located. We didn't want to leave. We hope to make our stay there a tradition and would highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks Gail & Rob for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home and providing us with everything we needed to make our stay so enjoyable!

Great Property In Gulf Shores

We rented this property as a graduation trip for our son graduating from high school. It was our first trip to the Gulf and it did not disappoint. The condo is very clean and has everything you could possibly need. The views of the ocean and beach from all the windows and the VERY BIG balcony are stunning. The condo is within walking distance of restaurants and stores. Gail was very helpful with the booking process and helping us with questions we had throughout. I would highly recommend this condo and we plan to come back!

The View

We rented #818 at The LightHouse. As soon as we opened the door we were all amazed. The view, the cleanliness, the space, even the other guest were amazing. I am such a clean freak and I usually find something that bothers me but I couldn’t find one thing. I would definitely stay here again.

Awesome!

My family just stayed a week in this beautiful condo and had an awesome time! There was plenty of room for 6 adults and a 3 year old without feeling crowded. When we arrived, everything was ready for us to enjoy the week! The view was wonderful, I enjoyed peaceful early mornings on the balcony drinking coffee. It was close to restaurants and things we wanted to do. My grandson learned to play Putt-Putt (with his rules)! The beach was great, we rented the beach chairs and the service was excellent. We're looking forward to making more plans for a family vacay here next year!

2nd Stay in this Lovely Condo!

We just came back from our second stay in this condo. It was so fabulous the first time that we came back! This condo is super clean, super stocked and super luxurious. Our family of 5 loved the 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, big living and kitchen,. The balcony and the views are by far the best part. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and just relaxing. The kitchen had everything we needed as we cooked breakfast, lunch and some dinners in, then enjoyed eating at some local restaurants. Gail communicated with us during the time leading up to our trip and during our stay. We will be back!

Amazing view

The condo was beautiful. It was a great time of year because nothing was crowded. Beautiful sunset views. The beach was easy to get to and the pools were nice. There was some maintenance work on the building outside for 3 of the days we were there. That was loud and annoying but we made the most of it by hanging out at the beach. Off season so I guess you have to expect some things. Gail checked on us and made sure the condo was ok. We would definitely stay here again.

SHHHH, Don’t tell anyone....

I am not sure I want everyone to know how great this condo is...we just stayed here for the 3rd time and that should tell you how great this condo is! The balcony and view is amazing. It’s big with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It is well stocked. The owners even provide nice beach chairs, beach towels, coolers and beach toys. Kitchen is fully stocked and had everything we needed. Gail communicated before and during our trip. I can’t say enough good things about it. Go ahead and book a stay here, but it better be available next time we go to Gulf Shores!

Gulf Shores 818 Lighthouse

This property is within walking distance of a few restaurants and shopping. The condo was having repairs done on the outside from the hurricane. The main shower is very tight. You can't get out of the water. The second bathroom needs some drywall repairs. The second bedroom is very small and cramped. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

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.

Beautiful and Convenient!

I have stayed in Gulf Shores several times and this was by far the best condo yet. The condo is spacious and beautifully decorated. The owner's pride of their property is evident throughout the condo. The balcony is very large and I loved that 2 of the 3 bedrooms had balcony access as well as the living room. This condo is fully stocked with all items needed to prepare a meal. It is also equipped with items you can take to the beach such as a cooler and towels. Very convenient that you don't have to take your own. The pier is within walking distance as well as the water sports such as parasailing and wave runner rentals. There are also restaurants within walking distance. Whether you are traveling with 2 other couples or children, this condo is sure to please you.

About the host

Hosted by Gail

Host profile image
We are a family of four from Atlanta, Georgia (5 1/2 hour drive from Gulf Shores). We have been in the rental business for almost twenty years. My husband is in the travel industry, and we have been to many resorts world-wide. When we found The Lighthouse and this unit in particular, we knew we had found the perfect family vacation destination.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! The Lighthouse is located in the heart of Gulf Shores. When we discovered we could walk to or take a short drive to all this beach community had to offer, we knew we had found the right place.

What makes this property unique

The most unique benefits of staying in our condo are: it's the largest floor-plan in the building (besides our 4/4 penthouse), the 586 sq. ft. balcony has sunset views throughout the seasons, two of the three bedrooms are gulf-front and have direct balcony access (this is highly unusual for a gulf-front property).
