Lighthouse 1806 | 2BR Beachfront Condo
Summary:
Lighthouse 1806, hosted by Current Tides, where the Gulf breeze and good vibes flow as freely as the tide, setting the scene for the ultimate beachfront escape. Wrapped in cool gulf water blues, this laid-back retreat is all about relaxation and salty air. Floor-to-ceiling views lead to a massive balcony, perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. Inside, cozy up in comfy spaces, whip up meals in the fully stocked kitchen, and drift off to the soothing sound of the waves.
The Space:
Welcome to your chill, beachfront oasis, Lighthouse 1806 hosted by Current Tides. Where the vibes are as easy as the Gulf breeze and every detail is designed to keep you in full-on beach relaxation mode. Wrapped in cool coastal blues and crisp, airy tones, this place is all about that effortless, laid-back salt life. The second you step inside, your eyes are locked on the breathtaking view of the Gulf. Thanks to floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall sliding glass doors, the outside flows right in, leading you straight onto a massive balcony where the waves roll in and every moment feels like pure magic.
The living room is all about kicking back and soaking it in. Sink into the Queen Sleeper Sofa, pop on the 65-inch HD TV with DVD, and let the sound of the surf be your background music. But let’s be real—you’ll probably be spending most of your time outside, where the balcony is calling. It’s got a table, chairs, and a lounger, so whether you’re sippin’ coffee at sunrise, enjoying a golden hour cocktail, or just feeling the salt air on your skin, this is the spot where the good times roll in.
When hunger strikes, the dining area is the perfect place to gather, with a table for six and a breakfast bar for four, making mealtime feel like a celebration. And let’s talk about this kitchen—decked out with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, it’s stocked and ready whether you’re whipping up a full-on feast or just grabbing a snack between beach sessions.
After a day of sun, sand, and sea, the master bedroom is your own little hideaway. With a big, comfy King Bed and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors leading to the balcony, you can wake up and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. A walk-in closet, dresser, and large HD TV add to the cozy factor, while your private bath gives you serious spa energy with a Jacuzzi tub and a glass-enclosed shower. The guest bedroom is just as dreamy, featuring another King Bed, dresser, HD TV, and DVD player, plus an attached bath that also connects to the hallway—because convenience is key. And for the little beach bums or extra guests, the bunk room has its own built-in bunks with a TV and DVD, creating the perfect cozy corner.
To keep your beach gear fresh and ready for another adventure, we’ve got a separate laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer—because salty towels and sandy swimsuits are a sign of a day well spent.
This property is loaded with all the extras to make your stay unforgettable! Take a dip in the sparkling outdoor pool or enjoy a swim in the heated indoor pool, perfect for those breezy Gulf days. Soak away your worries in the bubbling hot tub, then hit the fitness center to keep up with your beach bod goals.
When you're ready to hit the sand, a private boardwalk leads you straight to the beach—no hassle, just instant toes-in-the-sand bliss. Fire up the grills in the designated BBQ area for a beachside cookout, and soak in the coastal vibes with family and friends.
.
This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a soul-soothing, wave-chasing, sun-kissed escape where the only rule is to relax and let the ocean do the rest. So come on in, kick off your flip-flops, and let the good vibes take over.

Arrived and the condo had not been cleaned and no bedding or towels. Spent the rest of day cleaning and waiting for someone to come and bring bedding and towels. The girl who came was wonderful. Big stain on mattress in the master bedroom, and furniture in master had broken dresser drawers. Closet door in guest room was broken. We cleaned the vacuum just so it would pick dirt up. It was full of dirt and hair rapped up around things and filter was dirty!!!! Rug in living room is so stained. Dryer needs a new lint trap. We stay at the Lighthouse every year and the last couple of years the condos have been a disappointment. Guess we will try another condo next year before we give up on it!

Great condo and location
We enjoyed our stay! The condo was as described and they thought of everything. Something not mentioned is it has a larger than most balcony as there is no condo to the left of it and the balcony wraps around in an L. It’s really nice on calmer days! On really windy days, it definitely made the balcony very gusty.

We have stayed here every October for Shrimp Fest weekend and the following week. The managment are well organized. The staff are awesome. Their communication is great, timely and informative.
The property is clean, parking is easy, location is great. Maybe 5 minutes walk to the Hangout and all of the great stores in the area.
Stay there, the higher the better! Sun rise and Sun set pics are awesome.

AMAZING
The lighthouse condo was amazing. The view from room 1806 was absolutely breath taking. I very much enjoyed the balcony with my morning coffee. My first time visiting the gulf shores and I will definitely return. Although if you want to use the oven be prepared to wait awhile as it takes a very long time to heat up.

Beautiful views of the gulf
This was my family's first time staying in a non-hotel location, so we weren't completely sure what to do when we arrived to obtain our parking pass. There's only one tiny sign that says "office" in middle of the second floor parking garage but luckily we found it. After that everything went super smoothly. The room was just as described, and the balcony and views were beautiful. We enjoyed the proximity of the location to all the restaurants and stores like Walmart or DG if we ran out of supplies. The condo was very well kept and clean and my kiddos really loved the huge jetted tub. Overall the whole family was very happy with the experience, and we plan to be back.

Girls getaway
The place was very comfortable and the views were amazing. The only complaints I have is there was no hairdryer ( I did reach out to the landlord and she did respond but that time she responded I was over drying my hair) but it would have been nice because it was listed as having one. And I would have liked beach towels and chairs available to take to the beach.
Everything else was spot on and I would Definitely stay again.

Good now, few updates will make it great!
We have stayed in VRBO rentals for years! I think my expectations were too high from other rentals we have been in. 18th floor gives a nice view! The kitchen pots, pans, skillets, utensils need to be new not from years of use or a thrift store. The guest bed sqeeks , seems a little unstable, guest bath / next to kitchen needs new toilet (maintenance had to repair but then the handle stuck), tub needs to be renewed, chips in the base. Outdoor furniture table nice but comfy sofa set would have been nice for the early morning coffee and girls time!
The two pools were very nice,

Wonderful Getaway
We spent a lovely, relaxing week in this beautiful condo! It was exactly as pictured. Beautiful view, good beds, and gorgeous decor. The elevators are FAST—so don’t worry about staying on the 18th floor. Also, the TVs were very easy to operate. And you can see dolphins jumping every morning from the balcony. The location is great—we never cooked since there were so many good restaurants close by. Check in was super easy. As was check out. We highly recommend this place! We will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
