About this property

Fabulous Lighthouse, stone's throw away from beach,120 ft ,w/ stunning views!

THE LIGHTHOUSE, only steps away from the beach and Gulf of Mexico. We believe the best vacation is one that takes you away from home but has the feeling of home. The beach is just a short walk from the back of house (120ft) no vehicle traffic to disturb your peaceful day on the beach and no fighting the crowds for a spot for your umbrella and toys. You'll never have FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) with its close proximity to the beach. This quiet Gulf Coast community offers a laid-back lifestyle and plenty of opportunities to rest, relax, and renew.

Bookend your days on the upper balcony, starting each with a cup of coffee and sweeping Gulf of Mexico views and ending with a cocktail and a spectacular sunset while swinging on the four swings and watching a horseshoe tournament between family/friends. Tasteful, stylish furnishings, lots of natural light, and an open floor plan combine to create a soothing, relaxing space.

THE LIGHTHOUSE has all the amenities you could ask for, fully equipped, coastal theme décor, beach view vacation home that sleeps 14 comfortably.

Entertainment is extraordinary in the lighthouse! The chef will love the Galley Island style kitchen with spacious accommodations and well-equipped kitchen for daily living and meals . The party group will enjoy the wet bar at the end of the island. Lighthouse offers a trash compactor, dishwater, full size washer/dryer, pots, pans, dishes, everything you need to enjoy your home away from home.

The living room offers two (2) sets of comfortable, stylish sofa sleepers and two (2) loveseats. After a day on the beach, relax on the plush couches while you stream the latest release or check up on social media with the free WiFi with xfinity gateway.

The bottom level, (separate outside entry) Is the third bedroom. A spaciously decorated room with two (2) queen beds and a set of bunk beds along with a TV, mini refrigerator & a full bathroom . Outside stairs are used to access the upper main area of the house to the lower floor.

Entertaining continues on the outside, the upper deck has table and chairs with a pit area to enjoy that coffee or cocktail. The downstairs covered patio offers four swings, outdoor shower and a horseshoe pit! Enjoy gorgeous Gulf views from the both the upper balcony and covered lowered deck, soak up the sun by wander just a few steps down to the shore for blissful days at the beach or enjoy our yard with grass! Which makes it fun to play in after being on the sand all day... The Lighthouse is located a few houses from the end of the street.

Wondeful week at the beach

This is our 2nd time staying with them. We stayed at one of their other places before. Love the location. Walked the beach multiple times a day. Watched the ocean, heard the waves, wonderful spot. Plenty of space for 6 of us and our dog. Definitely highly recommend and would stay again.

Great Family Holiday

We had a nice, relaxing stay at the Lighthouse. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for the week. I liked that the host provided us with a list of "things to bring" so could plan in advance.My grandchildren really enjoyed the proximity to the beach and we did spend a lot of time there. I enjoyed and took advantage of the deck with awesome views of the gulf. We would definitely stay there again.

Such a nice house

It is a great house in the second row, which keeps the wind to a limit when it is a windy day, but you still have a view on the open sea. Overall clean, up-to-date, nice neighborhood. The contact with the owner was also great. Would stay again? Yes!

The Brown Family 2023 Beach Trip

The trip was a big success. The Lighthouse was perfect for our whole family of 10. The environment was cozy, decorated perfectly, supplied with everything that we needed. Plus, our host was very sweet and accommodating on keeping us posted and answering any questions that were asked. Everyone enjoyed the beach and the access to all the amenities were at our fingertips. It was a very special trip for the family and we all enjoyed it immensely. Thank you!!!

Fun on the beach

This is a fun house with a little yard a few steps from the beach. The kitchen has everything you need. Just bring extra paper towels and toilet paper. We ran out of both. The mattresses were a little worn in but manageable. Both of the AC's worked great when it got warm. We appreciated the space we were afforded by having a room on the ground level. I would rent again.

Great house, already re-booked!

House was great, with lots of room for eating and hanging out. There was a broken screen that flapped loudly in the wind on a stormy night. The downstairs bathroom had questionable flooring in the shower that was unsteady. That was disappointing. However, nice enough that one of our party has already rebooked for July.

Great location, very poor cleanliness

Check in process was easy, great location. However house is pretty old and not cleaned well. Piles of dust on every ceiling fan, air vents covered in dust. There was a light fixture in the closet hanging loose with wiring exposed. Downstairs was completely separate from the main house and smelt very musty and the window AC is not powerful enough to cool to our liking. The shower in the lower level had large cracks and was very dirty. We had to clean it ourselves for our stay and killed 5 spiders within the first hour in that lower level room. Manager was very helpful and even reimbursed us some money for the troubles we had, and plans to do repairs. Overall very unhappy with how clean the property was. Not up to standard of other rentals I have stayed at from VRBO.

Great location, dirty house

When we first arrived, the upstairs front door was wide open and there were lots of flies. It was frightening because we have two young children and we didn't know if there were people inside. The house was dirty and it just didn't feel clean. It was grungy, dust bunnies under the couches, grimey shower, and the front porch furniture was broken and dangerous. The legs on the chairs were so dwindled, that I almost fell as I sat down and I'm not large so it was not a weight issue. The decorations were cute and the neighborhood was quiet and safe. Very short walk to the beach and the ocean. It was beautiful. The property would be so much better if better cleaning and repairs were made. The property owner was cordial and professional, however we didn't feel comfortable 😕. Lastly, one day into our stay a wind storm came and blew all the trash into the street and into the yard. This was trash from the previous renters. We had to touch nasty trash and clean it all up. The property owner should ensure that the trash is taken care and all bases are covered prior to any arrival.

Not as clean, but great location

I rented this because it was next to another rental so my large family could stay together. The location was awesome, literally a short walk to an uncrowded beach. Perfect! The house itself wasn't as clean as I would've liked. After checking in for several hours and unpacking I noticed things like old pee on the side of the toilet (you know, those round things at the bottom), hair and dust on the bedside table, stains and crumbs and hair inside the sofa beds. Mostly the place just needs a good deep cleaning. There were not enough sheets and pillows for the sofa beds that were in the listing, so the first night we had to sleep on top of a blanket. The host was responsive, and sent more the next day. I wanted to ask her to send her cleaning person to take care of some of the things I had noticed, but my husband thought that would be weird since we already had unpacked all our stuff and he didn't want to be there while she was cleaning.

Cute little beach house

This property location was perfect since we were visiting with family that also owns in this neighborhood. Beds were comfortable and my daughters loved having their "own space" downstairs, while we had our place upstairs. It was almost like a 2 for 1. We have already made arrangements to book again at the Lighthouse.

Bermuda beach 2022

We enjoyed our stay at The Lighthouse. Although my first preference is always a first row house this was a close second. Just a short walk to a pretty private beach area. View is somewhat obstructed by a house and telephone poles but we could still see enough of the water so it wasn’t a big issue.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house for a quick get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Our four boys have experienced life at a beach though-out their years. Fishing, crabbing, skin-boarding, kayaking, building sand castles, throwing sand at each other, swinging , playing games, playing horseshoes, watching the stars, counting the stars, fish tacos, shrimp po'boy's, etc., etc., etc. We hope you experience all of that and more!

What makes this property unique

This is a great house for two families, la large family or those who have teenagers. Our bedroom/bathroom downstairs is quiet and removed from the upstairs house. This gives both privacy to a family members or those ...wanting their own space teenagers!
The main room has two seating areas with a wonderful open kitchen.
