Ashlee's review

The light house is very strict with rules which is great considering our stay was during Spring break . Parking price was ridiculous $50.00 per a vehicle & that was for guest as well ! My niece stayed at another facility and they offered a free visiting pass . Also when walking into the condo room the smell was horrible thankfully I bought my cleaning supplies & toilet paper, trash bags etc. are not supplied in the condo. Everything else overall was nice & peaceful! Condo is super nice & Jim my hostage checked in daily to make sure we didn't need anything & we got in as instructions was given . 
 
Gulfsands reply: Hi Ashlee, Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, beautiful condo, and that you found our communication helpful throughout your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we appreciated the kind private message you sent as well! Regarding the parking fees, we understand the cost can be frustrating. However, as noted in both the listing and pre-arrival emails, the $50 per vehicle fee is set by the building's HOA and applies to all guests, not something we control. We were also surprised by the 3-star cleanliness rating, especially since no issues were mentioned during your stay, despite our regular check-ins. We always encourage guests to reach out immediately if anything is not up to expectations so we can address it on the spot-we're here to help! That said, we're happy to hear everything else was nice and peaceful, and we truly hope to welcome you back in the future. We always strive to deliver great stays and appreciate your honest review. - (Apr 2025)

Amazing view, great location!

We enjoyed our stay so much. The location and views are spectacular. The kitchen and bathroom amenities are all in working order, and you have everything you need to cook full meals, with a large fridge/freezer. You can eat on the balcony, washer and dryer work well, and the condo itself was great, both the people and amenities.The only issue was some of the more hidden places were not cleaned as well. There were crumbs and dust in some drawers and nightstands. But overall the condo was in great condition, and clean. We will most likely book again. - (Apr 2025)

We had stayed at Lighthouse many times and this unit was one of the best. Everything was clean and comfortable. We would definitely choose 1017 again. - (Sep 2024)

Favorite Beach Condo To Date

Literally, I have zero complaints. The condo was so perfect for our needs. Clean. They even left dishwasher tabs, laundry detergent and shampoo for us. We had a little door jam issue after hours, but they were able to get us back in quickly. Saving this to visit again. - (Aug 2024 - VRBO)

Amber's Review

Great area-near lots of things but private enough that you are not right on top of someone else. Nice condo-great big deck with awesome, unobstructed views. Right on beach side with close walk to water-2 big pools-plan on going back! - (Jul 2024)

Perfect Little Getaway

The condo was perfect for our anniversary getaway. Decorated so cute and unit was clean. Views were amazing and it was close to great restaurants. Definitely on our list to visit again. Only complaint we had was the elevator on our side of the hotel was down for maintenance so we had to walk to the middle elevators. Not terrible but a small inconvenience that I know couldn't have been avoided. - (May 2024)

Property is clean

The check in process w gulf sands is a nightmare. 
 
Gulfsands reply 9/15/24: the check-in process has since been updated since your visit - come back again soon for a smoother self check-in experience! Previously, guests would stop by the office to check-in, not very nightmarish I promise, but now it's more convenient! - (Jul 2020 - VRBO)

Beautiful Condo

We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything needed and we enjoyed having our meals on the balcony. We loved being walking distance from the fishing pier. Hope to be back soon! - (Apr 2020 - VRBO)

The condo was amazing and really felt like home. The decor and upgraded amenities were beautiful. It was the perfect size for my husband and I, with our 4 and 6 year old. The views were amazing as well. You could tell the unit and ocean view was gorgeous, but the pictures still didn't do the condo justice! Also, Lighthouse itself was great. You can see down the beautiful beach shore walking from the elevator to the unit, which is a short distance AND the pool is a short walk as well. The dunes not being so deep to get to the water was also nice. We will definitely be hoping to book again! Thank you for the hospitality! - (Sep 2019 - AirBnB-no)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo was exactly as advertised with nice amenities and a priceless view. They responded quickly and was extremely helpful assisting with a late check-in. We'd love to return next year! - (Sep 2019 - AirBnB-no)

Great Stay Right On The Beach!

My husband and I took our daughter and her friends on a quick vacation (3 nights) to Gulf Shores and chose this condo. This particular condo features a master with private bath, bunk room and second bathroom with a gulf front balcony on the 10th floor. You could access the balcony from the living room and master bedroom. The bunkroom had a twin over full bunk which accommodated the three girls perfectly. They even had their own TV, but I don't think they watched it. The couch was comfy. The kitchen was upgraded to include granite and some stainless steel appliances. And I found every cooking utensil/pot/pan I needed while on vacation. Even though it was a tight spot, it was a nice kitchen. Everything was clean and all linens were in good shape. It is nice to have direct access to a full washer and dryer. In addition, the AC worked well. The LIghthouse Condominium complex was nice offering covered parking, indoor and outdoor pools and direct beach access. We rented an umbrella and chairs for our days on the beach. We had easy walks to several beach bars/eateries and shops. Rates were high but we were there in prime beach season. If we had to choose again, we would definitely keep this particular condo in consideration provided the size met our needs. - (Sep 2019 - Flipkey)
