Our party of 4 were well pleased with this condo. We had plenty of room and loved being directly on the beach. The area is a somewhat quieter than other locations yet you can easily access everything from it. Would stay there again and would recommend it to anyone.

This was in an excellent location and the views from the balcony were wonderful. Could have used more details regarding use of key fobs on gates. Our primary disappointment was with the master bath. This bathroom needed a total gut job. The space had a terrible old urine smell. Don't know if the smell was coming from the floor grout or the rug but it was nasty. The floor was cracked and crackled like it would give in when you stepped on it. The bath tub/shower was in bad shape and needed replacement. The shower curtain liner needed a good bleaching or replacement. The condo with the exception of this bathroom was fine but could not give it a higher rating due to this.

I love coming to Gulf Shores. This trip was just me and my husband. The condo had a clean smell to it when we walked in. Couldn’t go barefoot in the condo but that seems to be an issue in all the rentals. We didn’t do any cooking but the coffee maker worked and the refrigerator was nice and cold for our drinks and leftovers. I never do laundry on vacation so I’m not sure how the washer and dryer worked. Beds were comfortable. I’m a very light sleeper, so if my husband starts snoring I go to the other bed. Sitting on the balcony in the morning and evening was very enjoyable. Love the view from the balcony. We had a great time.

Everything was great about this condo. The location was awesome, everything was clean and we had everything we needed. The view from the balcony was absolutely perfect. I loved having access to the beach right from the building along with having a pool. The check-in/out process was a breeze and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. I will definitely try booking with them again in the future.

We would definitely stay here again! The location is great/convenient as it's very close to the main hub of Gulf Shores. The condo was very clean. Comfortable beds. View can't be beat as it's right on the beach.

We love Gulf Shores. This was our 3rd trip and second time in this tower, just a different unit. Over all it was ok, no big complaints. But did feel like some of the things in the condo could be updated, such as the towel bars and shower curtain rod. (When hanging my shower towel over the shower curtain it came off with black stuff all over it so probably just need replaced and cleaned). Parking pass was not there when we arrived but they brought it the next day. I think it’s time to generally update the tower but that’s not a review on this unit necessarily.
Check in and out procedures were easy.
We love the location of Crystal Shores. Close to the main area and not too far from OB. I do feel like the beach is generally less crowded here than other locations at GS which is a plus.

The property was a great location in Gulf Shores and close to anything needed. The condo was so close to the beach. You step right out onto the beach from the garage level! The pictures on the site are slightly different than the way the condo looks now. Its not a big deal - just different paint and furniture slightly different in living room. Little bit of wear inside the condo and outdoor patio furniture, but again, not a big deal. Was clean overall. We enjoyed our stay.

We had the absolute BEST experience staying at this location. Very clean, fully stocked with extras, convenient cubby area for beach chairs,etc. and the communication with the owner was extremely quick! We will definitely book again! This is our new favorite place to stay!

The property is in an awesome location and the cleanliness was superb. The views from the balcony/patio are gorgeous. The owner is extremely quick to respond. The only negative I would have is the unit could use an update - furnishes and wall color are very dark - makes the unit seem “gloomy”. With all that said, I would still give it a “5” and would def stay again!
*be sure to check out Pier 33 that is directly across the street for coffee

The property was perfect for me, my hubby and our friend. The view was spectacular, and the location great! Each morning, we took a two mile walk on the beach. We easily walked to restaurants, entertainment and shopping. It was so nice to just take the elevator down and step right onto the beach to hang out all day. The pool was smaller than I thought, but was still a refreshing place to relax during the day.
The condo itself was nice. The beds were comfy, the living room roomy, and the kitchen had most of what we needed for the few meals that we prepared there. We would've loved to have had a few beach chairs to bring down with us to the beach, but all that was in the closet for us to use were a few boogie boards. Other than that, we were all pleased with our stay here!

Great location, very easy access to the beach. Fast elevators- no wait. Easy and convenient parking. Clean unit. Watched dolphins play in the surf every day from the balcony.

We were so happy with our stay here. There is a large balcony that opens from the living space and master bedrooms, and when looking out you get a fantastic view of the ocean. The perspective made it feel like we were hovering above the ocean at times. Even when we didn't feel like going down to the beach, we were still able to enjoy the beach from the comfort of the condo. It also was well-stocked on appliances and tools for cooking, but make sure to bring things like aluminum foil, oil/cooking spray, and butter. Bring your own ground coffee or pods. There was one packet of laundry detergent so be sure to bring extra if you are anticipating doing multiple loads. Plenty of counter space in all rooms to easily set things down. The condo building itself was nice and very accessible to the beach (no steps required). Although we didn't try it out, the pool and hot tub were open in late November and there were others who were using it. The coffee shop across the street was also fantastic and super easy to get to. Very centrally located in general.

It’s a lovely unit in a nice complex. The beach was beautiful as always. The pool was heated, and we enjoyed swimming between the indoor and outdoor portions of the pool. The key fobs are a bit of a hassle considering people just hold the door open for each other. I liked the lockbox by the condo door to keep the key in. The unit was in good shape and nicely furnished. Some of the furniture is a bit large for the space making it difficult to walk around the dining table and between the beds and dressers. The kitchen has nice finishes and is well stocked with tools including blender and crock pot. The blinds in the guest room were broken, and the set screw is missing from the kitchen faucet knob. The floor was swept, but we quickly had dirty feet after walking around inside. The unit has a generous amount of space, and we really enjoyed it.

This property was excellent for me and my husband. With 2 bedrooms, I think it would also be comfortable for 4 people. The location and ease of getting in and out was excellent. Being right in the beach with easy access was great! I would recommend this place.

The condo room was nice. The building elevators and common area was not in the best shape. The elevators were not working upon arrival in the middle of the night so we carried luggage up 7 flights of stairs. The seal on the sliding door allowed the wind in making a howling noise all day and night. The key fobs did not work well on the gates causing delays. The dryer stopped working about 30 minute before we had to check out leaving me with a bag of wet clothes to travel home with. The property manager answered when I called about the issue he was nice and said he would send someone out but that was after we left.

Our stay was very good. The only thing was there were not any linens for the pull out couch and the pull out was not great. Only b/c when laying down the head was lower than the foot of the bed. I think it was slightly broken. But the the owner got us linens very quickly! That was a plus!

Having our beloved dog w/us was so nice. She made quite a few friends there. Condo was lovely. Could use a bit of minor maintenance here and there. But nothing that hampered our vacation. Balcony was one of the biggest I’ve seen in a rental like this. And the view right from when you enter the condo is spectacular.
