Great location and relaxing condo!

Fully equipped kitchen was awesome including the air fryer and coffee maker. Very comfortable condo with extra pillows and blankets. Nice amenities on property and very close to the beach. Parking was very easy. Wish they had beach towels for us to use while there and would have been nice for them to supply more essentials (more than one roll of paper towel and toilet paper). Overall very nice place to stay.

Great Location some finishing detail missing

Overall the unit fit our needs well. A few things to be aware of. If you for sure want to use the jacuzzi tub I would consider a different unit, it was missing the plug to stop water from draining. Other thing to be aware if there where places where decoir was changed and when the repainted they used glossy paint instead of matte likelike the original wall so if that would bother you be aware. That being said the outside furniture was comfy which was a pluf for us and the ubit location cant be beat so we would stay again.likenowaschanging

Great unit hard mattress

The Lighthouse property was very nice and the unit was clean and overall very comfortable. Nice furniture on the patio and in the den. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was due to the beds. The mattresses were hard and uncomfortable. Other than that it was great.

Beach Vacation

Location was great and well positioned to many fun places to visit. Amenities on the property (especially the pool) were also good. The condo itself was well sized for my family of five. Condo was more worn than pictures showed but was not in terrible shape. I was a little disappointed in the beds which were very squeaky. Overall we had a great experience and would visit again.

Enjoyed stay, couple of suggestions

We enjoyed the stay and only have a couple of minor suggestions. The sinks in the master bathroom need to have screens or something over the drains to prevent objects from dropping down the drains. The garbage disposal could use some good cleaning. Use something like AFFRESH to clean and eliminate the odor.

Snowbird at The Lighthouse

We stay in different condos every winter at the Lighthouse. The two bedroom ones all have the same layout which is fine. This particular condo, 1713, needs updating. The managing company, Sands of Alabama, were wonderful. They responded quickly and did what they could. No hot pad holders, barely any pans, no big pans, minimal coffee cups, dishwasher with broken bottom rack- no rollers so really inconvenient to load and unload. The company ran me over hot pad holders, some pans, and also a crockpot and air fryer, which I wanted and that was really nice. The condo needs painting, furniture worn out, tv in master doesn’t work unless you use it for Hulu, smoke detector goes off if you open the oven door. But it’s a beautiful view, balcony furniture is good, and heat and a/c seemed good.

Great Location But Lacked Cleanliness

The location is great. We were there for a multi-day music event at The Hangout, which is about a 15 minute walk. However, the condo was very dirty when I arrived and looked as if it had not been cleaned in months (thick dust on the walls, grit and grime on door handles and light switches, dirty utensils in the drawers and grit and grime on the bathroom walls and floors), and I spent 2 hours cleaning the property when I first arrived. I notified the property management and they did contact me the next day (My email was sent on Sunday morning after a late arrival on Friday night), and they sent someone over to clean. The cleaner, Alison (Supervisor) apologized profusely and cleaned all of the ares we pointed out that were unsanitary and dirty. Overall, the experience was good - but I certainly did not like the fact the the condo was so dirty when I arrived.

Lighthouse 1713

This condo was absolutely perfect for our family. There was plenty of room and everything was clean. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with small appliances, utensils, cups, plates and even Tupperware. The pools were clean and loved having two pools and two hot tubs for when we needed a break from the beach. I highly recommend this condo!

Another Great Stay at the Beach

Everything was clean and as expected. We did have some issues with the fire alarm going off but it was taken care of quickly. My only wish was for more cookware. I felt it was lacking some of the cookware we needed. Other than that. It was a great place to stay.

Gulf Shore first timers

We enjoyed our stay very much. Our first time in Gulf Shores. The condo was very nice. Only things I would suggest is getting more pots and pans (nothing big enough to cook spaghetti in) and there were no oven mitts. When asked to look, found previous guest’s retainer case under sofa (would have thought cleaning crew would have found it). Beach was great and the view from condo was excellent. We would stay there again.

Gulf Shores Vacation 2023

Overall, our vacation was a success. We all had a great time, the beach was wonderful, and we ate lots of great food. The location of the condo at The Lighthouse was excellent! The Lighthouse facilities were wonderful. Access to the beach was so easy, and the pools were great. We would definitely stay there again. I'm afraid we probably wouldn't book through Sands of Alabama again. The condo was nice and roomy, with the exception of the third bedroom with the bunkbeds, but really needs a little updating and cleaning. When we got ready to leave for dinner our first day there, the door would not lock. You could tell that someone had made a poor attempt of working on it, but it needed more work done to it. I did call and speak to someone and she was doing her best to get a maintenance person out to repair it, but my husband was able to finally get it to lock, so I called back and cancelled the request. It was a Sunday and I hated for someone to have to come in. I'm afraid I didn't get the name of the lady that I was transferred to, because she was very friendly and helpful. The last day we were there, a screw fell out of a ceiling vent so It was dangling overhead every time we walked through the kitchen. Thank goodness it didn't actually fall out onto someone's head. The floors were not clean. They always felt sticky and left your feet or socks dirty. Overall, the condo just needs some TLC and a deep cleaning.

Disappointed

The good: Great Ocean view and two nice pools to swim in after long day on the beach. A lot of excursions just steps away from us. Cool restaurant near that had the best pina colada's. The owner was very responsive and kind when needed. Not good: The place was very basic. The guest bedroom bathroom had what appeared to be bullet holes in both doors. One hole looked like it was patched with toothpaste other was not patched at all. This alone made me want to check out but traveled 8 hours to get there so stayed. The next day fire alarms went off but stopped so we thought it was maintenance until it happened again the next day. Turns out the smoke detector batteries needed replacing. Remnants of roach droppings was found under kitchen sink and drawers. Told myself it wasn't but while hanging out on balcony one night saw multiple roaches. Exterminator perhaps? Bunkbed space should not be called a room. No closet or space, Patchwork all throughout condo was terrible with mix matched paint. Cheap plastic white table for dining on deck was so old and dirty it was black. The guess room is warm and the sun shines through the bedroom blinds waking you up at 6am every day, needs some curtains. Small pots not sufficient for cooking, bring your own. Bathroom fixtures are rusty. Could type more but not enough characters. Owner needs to invest in some upgrades or drop price. Never have left a negative review before but felt it was necessary for this place. This place gets a C-.

Great Getaway

We made our second trip to Gulf Shores and stayed at the Lighthouse. The dwelling is near the state park and the pier which make it appealing to us. The residence we used was well kept, clean, and had up-to-date appliances that worked well (not always our experience in other locations). Should we return, we will seek to use the same property.
