Recent Gulf Shores guest reviews

Seven women from the north celebrating a retirement! We wanted a place that was roomy, had lots of beds and bathrooms, and was close to the beach and restaurants. This was perfect. The kitchen was well-appointed, beds were comfortable, towels and linens were nice, and the pool was heated. We thought the elevated first floor was charming and interesting (we don't live near a coastline), but it does mean there's a lot of stairs! We would definitely return!

Had a wonderful time at the condo and Mardi Gras; parades from Mobile to Orange Beach! Will visit The Lighthouse again
Carol H H. | Mar 2025
The unit was updated and clean. The view is awesome. The location made everything we needed very accessible. We would definitely stay at this unit again
