Condo needs painting and new bedding. Bedding is old, thin and dirty. Living room furniture is two odd leather couches—one is uncomfortable. Main pool and lazy river of property is closed and listing didn’t provide this information.

We are no stranger to Chrystal Towers. This is our 3rd trip to the condo and love the pool and access to the beach. Elevator wait times and speed were amazing. Not too crowded this weekend so that was great.
The condo was a little disheartening on arrival. We arrived around 9pm and my kids were running around while we got unpacked and their feet were literally black from walking barefoot in the condo. There was dust on glass table tops that you could see. I messaged the owner about the dirty floors and requested someone to come mop since a mop was not available in the condo but with it being late I knew it wouldn’t be handled then. I ended up mopping floors with towels and did the best I could. No one ever came to mop the floors. The condo was decent, had enough to get us through our short weekend but the overall of it was gross to say the least. This condo definitely needs TLC. No microwave rotating plate, Toaster oven doesn’t work, there isn’t a wall that’s not covered in a scratch or mark (even looked like blood on guest bathroom wall?!?), the floor between kitchen and dining room appears unfinished. Balcony needs pressure washing as it is black to walk on, and it needs a deep cleaning. Will definitely return to the building for another stay but not this unit unfortunately.

We love staying at Crystal Towers for our annual family beach vacation. Our room was good and spacious. We enjoyed the corner room for the views and the amount of space.
3.0
The views were beautiful from the 14th floor. Everything except the floor was clean. After the first night we had enough bedding. Having extra bedding somewhere in the rental home could have saved a lot of grief. There are no hot pads to get things in and out of the oven. The only knives there are butter knives. Everything else we needed was there. We enjoyed the pools and the beach. The beach is a tiny strip and very crowded. I would not rent this condo again. The floors were not just sandy. They were dirty. We also had a leak from the ceiling in the kitchen…not major but also not okay. I feel like we paid enough to not have to deal with all of this.

When we arrived to the Condo, the AC was not working. It took almost 24 hours for someone to get it taken care of. Once it was fixed, the space was better. The condo had candy in the bunkbeds where the kids slept. Candy was in the sheets and on the bed. A used milk bottle with old milk was left under the coach in the living room and had old milk spilling out from under the coach in the living room. Gatorade bottles were left under the bed in the master bedroom. When we arrived, I had to vacuum and re-clean the space in order for us to feel comfortable. The AC not working properly really made the beginning of the stay very uncomfortable. The last day of our stay, we waited 40 minutes for an elevator to take us from the 14 floor to the parking lot. It was absolutely frustrating. The condo needs a complete over haul and new linens. It would make the space a lot more appealing.

For being a premium unit in this complex it was very disheartening to see the lack of supplies and maintenance for this unit. As soon as we walked in, there was a hole over the eating area in the kitchen. Plaster was failing on to the counter making it a safety hazard to eat there. There are two couches and both are broken and ripped. The supplies in the kitchen were a joke. This unit provided 2 forks and 3 butter knives. There was no knife block or a knife that we could use to cut food. Underneath the sink, it was leaking which did not help with the constant mold smell. The sink in the master bathroom was cracked. Majority of the lights were either burned out or didn’t work. The owner has so much random stuff in the bedroom closets we couldn’t even use it, although no hangers were provided anyways. We reached out to Vacasa 10 minutes after we checked in. Vacasa sent some out the next day to assess our concerns. He did come back with 6 more forks, 6 more butter knives, and a new frying pan. They said they would reach out to the owner and follow up with me. I’m still waiting a response!

We were here for my moms 70th birthday surprise. Beautiful views, wonderful amenities, quick access to the beach. The sofa was torn from what the pictures showed and the fridge was leaking but overall enjoyed our stay.

Such a beautiful view of the ocean and the Sound. Two great balconies. The pictures online are obviously old. The furniture in the living room needs replacing, torn sofa, the throw pillows are old and musty. Should be thrown out. The kitchen is nice but cookware and accessories are minimal. Main bedroom is nice the secondary bedroom needs updating. The mattress on the queen bed needs to be replaced very uncomfortable for adults. The trip was about the beach and it is a great beach property. I would go back to the property but probably not this unit. Also, There was Construction being done and it was a little inconvenient but not a huge issue.

Don't rent 1401 till something is done about the mildew/mold smell inside the unit, and the fridge water line filter has been changed! Musty tasting water. Trust me on this. Other things need attn: too. Paint, couch replaced. Also, the cleaning crew is not doing their job, hence the 2 stars!

Large corner condo. Wrap around porch was very nice. Our complaint was a slight musty smell when we entered. We ran the ac and it seemed to get better with air moving around.

The toilet paper holder came completely out of the wall on the first use.
So did the towel holder the next day, both in the master bedroom.
Pull out sofa is crazy uncomfortable, lumpy, and practically broken. There wasn't actual bedding for it either, only sheets. Only 3 forks in the whole flatware drawer.
The garbage disposal was broken and wouldn't drain out of the sink... old wet food was just sitting in the sink upon arrival.
I messaged about these issues on the app. It said someone would contact me and nobody ever did.
The list goes on and on

Crystal tower pools and spa were great, the room has a water leak above the counter and the sofa bed was broken and unusable. All the kitchen utensils & pots etc were great.

This condo was not only dirty (food on the walls, nasty toilet seat, vomit under pull out couch), but the bunk beds were barely together. Totally unsafe. Held on by screws and brackets. Couldn’t use them. Pull out couch was also broken. No patio furniture. Black mold under the sink and on the vents. Bathroom fans didn’t work. I wouldn’t stay here again. However, customer service was really good and handled it well. My mother stayed in 1103 and it was really nice.

The place was beautiful and comfortable but there are various appliances and furniture that needs fixing. We told the property manager about it but no one came during our time there - freezer water leaking, microwave fan cover fell on my daughter, sofa is ripped, But it was a beautiful place.

I loved that this unit was on the corner and it had plenty of windows and views. The elevators did stop working and we had to walk down 14 flights of stairs but it was working by the time we got back. The pools are nice. I had a few issues about the refrigerator not cooling or having enough blankets and towels and customer service was great they fixed it and delivered what we needed it

Master sheets and towels had stains on them.
The door to the AC unit was caked with dust and dirt, kitchen ceiling was very dirty. Refrigerator would stop working and water would leak and pool up in the kitchen also water started pouring out of fire sprinkler in kitchen on our last night. And lastly the balconies had no furniture on them as pictures online indicated that there were table and chairs. Very disappointed with this unit.

So there was no furniture on patio area but a couple crappy chairs. The washer had a rusted lid so had to do laundry elsewhere. Ice maker didn't work and last the sleeper couch was falling apart. After seeing other condos in building that our friends where staying in for same price. Would not recommend this one.

Elevator situation horrible! Only 2 of the 3 working. Only 1 working when checking out. Not great when you're on the 14th floor. Elevator repairman there when checking out, and said that the property management doesn't maintain them very well, and actually recommended that The Phoenix was a better maintained condo complex. The location was good, the walkway over the road was great! The pool is nice, but the beach is very narrow. People out setting up tents and chairs as early as 6:00 am. This unit has a wonderful view, but only a table and one lounge chair on one of the balconies. We still had a good time, but would never stay here again.

We stay in crystal towers annually and love it. NOT THIS UNIT!! It was dirty, with crumbs on the carpet and end tables, a puddle of water in the kitchen. No furniture for sitting on either balcony (except the broken down dangerous recliner on back balcony) Managment said they would get back to us and never did!!!!

The condominium was clean, had everything we needed! Everything worked well and had no problems with anything. The condo was super close to the beach and the skywalk makes it with it, instead of walking across the highway fighting traffic! The location is great as well close to restaurants, shopping centers,etc. overall a great stay, would book again

It was a nice place. The pools were great. Location was great. We did have an issue with the couch and the fold out couch. The one couch was broken in center. Was noticeable and I had already seen on a previous review that it was broken but would be taken care of. Also there were some dirty dishes in the cabinet. Other than that everything was fine. Thanks.
