Has an awesome view and large balcony overlooking the ocean. Great location to so many eating places. Very clean and spacious. Owner was great to deal with. Had everything we needed to accommodate our group. We enjoyed our stay and will be back to rent again.

Stayed at Crystal Shores 703
Loved the layout of the condo. Wonderful views with a large balcony that you could walk out from the living area and the bedroom. A very short walk to the beach. Rental company was great to work with and we will definitely book with them again.

Condo was extremely clean and had everything we needed for our stay! Communication with owner was very easy- and he was there to answer any questions we had very promptly. The only down side is that the pool is slightly small- but it didn’t affect our trip! Highly recommend!

Long weekend with my cousin - we really just lazed away floating in the ocean and cooked our own food in house - well stocked and beds were comfortable. The floor could us a really good scrub - it was clean generally, just left feet dirty as though it hadn’t had a serious clean for a bit - but truly, it wasn’t a dealbreaker at all. Would be nice if the patio door worked from the master, but again, you could just go out the living room - not a major inconvenience at all.
The balcony was perfect for watching the ocean from above - sting rays, l
fish, dolphin - beautiful view! Hard not to enjoy the beach when the view is so amazing. No issue parking for us at any time under the shady part, and it was pretty quiet - not a lot of partiers in this building. Very relaxing.

Loved the balcony. Condo was very convenient and easy to get to. It was clean & nice. It does have a Kerhig, but make sure you bring coffee or tea. There are no starter kits. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Property is in a good location and a quiet area. Condo is nice with some fairly minor maintenance issues, which, if taken care of, would make this a true gem.

This is a nice 2 bedroom condo with a great location. The property owners are great and very responsive if you have an issue. Nice large balcony is great to relax and enjoy the view.

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.

Condo was as described. Balcony views were fantastic!

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.

Great condo. Quiet and beautiful

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!
8.0
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

10.0
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!
