The location of The Lighthouse was perfect for the activities(golfing, shopping, enjoying the beach and eating out) that we wanted to do in Gulf Shores. This unit had parking right outside the door which we found very convenient. We were however, disappointed in the lack of comfort in a few things ( the sofa, the king size bed and the bathroom and bedroom linens)that have all seen better days. Some attention to these items would definitely bring us back to unit #217.
