Here's that discussion. The books don't state explicitly that Elizabeth's house and the lighthouse are the same location, but I think the film itself makes that quite clear. First we see Henry's room, then we see the fire, and then we see Henry in his boat, rowing away from the lighthouse.

Now take a look at Henry's map. We can see four locations marked: Lighthouse, Port Royal, Skull Point, and Rackhams Kay. If Henry's home (Elizabeth's home) was in Port Royal, Henry would be rowing toward the lighthouse, not away from it. But as the map shows, the lighthouse and Port Royal are on two different places, on two opposite sides of the bay. Skull Point is probably fictional, but Rackhams Kay is a real location, a small uninhabited island on the southern coast of Jamaica, not far away from Port Royal, as you can see [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Port_Royal_Cays.png here]. Don't forget that Henry's map was drawn by a child, so it doesn't have to be as accurate as modern charts, but it clearly shows that the lighthouse is not in Port Royal.

At the end of the film, Jack Sparrow leaves Henry and Carina near the lighthouse and Elizabeth comes out of the woods. If Elizabeth lived in Port Royal why would she go into the woods at some place dozens of miles away from Port Royal? Also, if Henry lived in Port Royal, why would Jack drop him off so far away from Port Royal?
