We headed back to the Long Beach area for the 4th of July and needed one night somewhere prior to our campground reservations over the 4th. We read online on TripAdvisor about the Lighthouse Resort and felt fortunate to get a last minute reservation there. They actually had several openings... which maybe should have been the first clue to us! We read such rave reviews we were really excited to try it out! What we found was so disappointing and really unacceptable. We arrived to find a very musty, old and mildew smelling townhouse. It had 2 bedrooms downstairs with TERRIBLE beds... as bad as my grandfathers 50 year old beds!!! The upstairs had one very bland bedroom with nothing but a single bed... no decorations at all. The fireplace didn't work, the lamp didn't work (asked for a new bulb... but it ended up being the lamp that was broken), and the shades on the sliding door wouldn't shut. The slider door barely shut either. My husband and I felt like we were back in his cheap college apartment... Terrible dirty carpet with stains. We had considered that this might be a possibility for a big family reunion... but I would have a very unhappy group if I booked this place! The only positives I can come up with are a decent pool for the kids and a decent kitchen with all the necessities. The location to the beach was good too. Too bad they don't update all of their rooms (we saw that some had been online...). They need to update the decor, the BEDS, and make their decks more child-proof. I wouldn't let my kids even go near the deck. The openings on the bottom do not look up to code. Spend some money updating these places... some decent beds, decor, and repairs would definitely help a bunch!!! They only credited us back 15.00 (she told me she'd take off 20... which still didn't impress us for all the things that didn't work!)
Look elsewhere!
