1. Lighthouse Condominiums

With a distance of only 0.7 miles from The Hangout, Lighthouse is by far the most popular place to stay for the festival.

You will access the festival from the East gate, which is always the fastest entrance to the festival due to the amount, or lack there of condominiums on the East side of Hangout Fest. The location of Lighthouse not only offers convenience, but also a quiet and peaceful place to rest your head after a long and loud day on the beach. Lighthouse can comfortably accommodate a party of any size with 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms units available. You can view our Lighthouse condo rentals here.

Located just 0.5 miles west of The Hangout, Island Tower is a beautiful, low density complex offering incredible amenities.

It takes approximately 10 minutes to walk from Island Tower to the west entrance of the festival, and approximately .01 seconds to put a smile on your face when you arrive at Hangout Music Fest!
