Designed to give you and your new friend the Gulf Shore time to get to know each other better, Lighthouse by Wyndham Vacation Rentals is 16 stories of oceanfront perfection. Plan to spend practically your entire stay reclined in your beachfront lounger under an umbrella, keeping an eye on your industrious sand-castlers, determined shellers and wave-loving body surfers. Make yourself at home in your spacious vacation rental at one of the area’s newest luxury condo resorts. Full kitchens make morning pancakes or top-your-own yogurt parfaits a must. Keep dinner low-key with the beachfront charcoal grills. Appoint a grill guru, and start teaching the older kids the finer points of searing and not over-flipping. Make the most of the ocean views from the indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs – even the fitness center. Then get even more up-close-and-personal with the Gulf on an open-water adventure. Try kayaking, snorkeling, parasailing, kite surfing and more. Polish the day off with a walk to local shops and attractions, strolling, ice cream in hand, trying to catch the drips before they hit your new souvenir shop t-shirt.
