In their own words
If you have an RV or any other kind of vehicle you are thinking of storing here, please STOP! They only got one star because I had too give something. Our Class C had the catalytic converter stolen as well as a side mirror and some other damage. I took pictures of the fence area where anybody could easily get in and there are no cameras in the parking area. I called twice and still did not get a call from management. I guess even a storage facility has no liability for items stored on their premises.
Hi Michael, we apologize that you had this experience and any inconvenience it has caused you. We are looking at vulnerabilities in the fence and enhancing security. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Security and customer satisfaction is a top priority for us.
They make it seem like its $16 a month but then a bunch of fees added on making it $41 to start. Did not say you had to carry insurance. It just says you can pay theirs or get your own. We were not worried about insurance so we declined and it prompts you to pay. We payed then you do all the agreement paperwork that says you have to enter your insurance info before you can move your stuff in. Called customer service and they stated theyd be happy to add insurance to our policy…i bet they would.
Thank you for your feedback. It sounds like there may have been a misunderstanding during the rental process. Pricing, fees, and insurance requirements are outlined throughout the agreement steps, and coverage is required prior to move-in.
Hard to get ahold of staff, rarely in office, hard to reach by phone also, was late one day and I got a rude text; "due to your failure to pay on time you have been assessed a $25 late fee, please pay immediately ". Sounds more hostile than professional. I will make sure they dont get another penny. Mice and roaches
Truth Prevails- We can't seem to find you in the system. Please call us so we can work out these issues at [phone removed]. Thanks!
We used Lighthouse to store our camper. The back lot is a literal junkyard! Apparently they don’t care what is stored as long as they get money. When we first arrived, the spot we were assigned had junk on either side that was overflowing into our spot so much you couldn’t even fit a car. The next spot we were assigned we couldn’t maneuver our camper into due to the junk stored opposite not in their spots. Finally got a spot we could use after 3 attempts and being forced to pay more money.
Kerry- We apologize for your experience. A manager will be reaching out regarding your rented space. We will do what we can to make this right.
Note: I took a non-climate controlled unit. Memorial Day, 2024: After four months of renting a unit here, #329, I came back today and opened a box of my clothes to find a family of mice (a mom and 4 baby mice) laying ON MY CLOTHES. When I spoke to customer service, I am responsible because I didnt get extra insurance: this place does not properly handle pest control around their outside units. Be advised. The below video is for today.
Back of the buildings are in horrible shape. There are ruts and lots of weeds (looks like a jungle). We couldn’t even see our assigned lot when we were parking our boat. I got poison ivy from the jungle. I can’t believe they feel this is acceptable. I’ve owned my own business before and this would NEVER fly with me. Totally unacceptable for what they are charging. I was told they are doing construction. I guess having pallets of some supplies laying around is “doing construction”.
We apologize for your inconvenience. The situation has been rectified and we thank you for bringing it to our attention. Please contact us if you have any further questions.
DO NOT STORE YOUR ITEMS HERE!!!!! My daughter got this unit for me as I was out of town. Mice will eat your things!!!! They charged me for a unit I was out of long before payment was due,also now telling my daughter that unless she takes pictures of the unit to show that it's empty they will continue to charge her card REALLY 😡. I can't get through to them over a phone call yet when she got the unit the spoke with me OVER THE PHONE. THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF!!!!!
Lighthouse Storage is affordable and has plenty of room, but I was bummed to spot mouse droppings in my unit. I've since laid out poison, but it's disappointing to toss stuff. Hopefully they can get pest control services here & that my higher valued furniture won’t be affected by this. Edit: I am Forced to move stuff out of the storage to prevent further damage.
Alexandrah- Thanks for the feedback. We have regular pest control maintenance at the facility and also perform our own as well. We will look into this matter and get back with you promptly. Thanks.

In their own words
From my very first call with Beth I knew this place was A number 1 for customer service and that the workers are trained to be so polite and nice. My pre expedience, as I am going to be storing my valuables for the next two months, has been exquisite. Ann helped me as I did a walk through of the facility and was so helpful. Janine and Skyler went through all my questions and help set me up as I traverse my storage needs for the next months.
Hi Zachary, We are elated you had such a great experience with Beth, Ann, Janine, and Skylar! We strive to provide this service for each and every Lighthouse Storage customer. Thank you so much for sharing this positive review with us today, Zachary! Have a wonderful day, The Lighthouse Storage Team
Approximately four years ago we rented a storage space from Lighthouse. The system of payment is streamlined. Support staff is quick to respond and always helpful and kind. We chose the temperature controlled unit and all my stored items are the same as the day we placed them in storage. Books, fabrics, record albums, Christmas decorations and kitchenware remained in perfect condition. We are totally satisfied with this company.
Donna- Thank you so much for the great review. We're so glad to hear everything went smoothly for you. Please let us know if we can be of any help in the future! Thank you for choosing Lighthouse Storage!
Reasonable process, easy to work with! Information was prompt and good!! Happy to be working with them!!
Thank you so much, Brian! We truly appreciate your kind words and trust. It’s been a pleasure working with you, and we look forward to continuing to support you. If you ever need anything, we’re here to help!
GREAT EXPERIENCE! Lighthouse Storage customer service is the best! I mistakenly reserved a unit in a nearby town rather than the location I intended and when I arrived with a trailer load of my belongings at 11pm I couldn’t get in the gate because my code wouldn’t work. I called their customer service number, i had to leave a message, it was late so I was worried nobody would be available to help me out, but thank the Lord, Dominic, with Lighthouse Storage called me a couple minutes a later.
"Thank you for the glowing review, Josh! We know how stressful moving can be, especially at 11 PM, and we are so glad Dominic was there to turn things around for you. Our team takes pride in being available whenever our customers need us, and I’ll be sure to share your 'AAA+' feedback with Dom.
