Custom 3 toned paint and beautiful furnishings & sweeping Gulf views
Location: Crystal Shores West, Gulf Shores Central, Gulf Shores, Alabama, USA (One mile to Intersection of Hwy. 59.) View Map
Accommodations: Condo, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-5)
Crystal Shores West is a premier new building (only 3 years old) that has many amenities including an indoor/outdoor pool, hot tub, exercise room, sauna, billiards table, BBQ grills, covered parking, and staffed lobby. All this and a convenience store right across the street.
And it is perfectly located only 1 mile from Hwy. 59. I can provide additional pictures of the building and its amenities, if you would like.
Do not confuse "Crystal Shores West" with the older building called "Crystal Shores".... or with the Crystal Tower (which is located accross the street from the beach).
When you compare other units in Crystal Shores West please note that mine has custom drapes, upgraded stainless steel appliances and flooring, oriental rug, decorator 3 tone painted walls, and stunning artwork. And best of all located on the 4th floor giving quick access to put you right onto the beach, yet high enough for stunning views.
You will be so pleased with the homey atmosphere that greets you in this beautifully decorated condo. I know what great ambiance it has, for I lived there myself for 9 months.
The view is breathtaking, and is visable from the living room, dining area, kitchen and master bedroom!! Just step onto the deck and look for miles up and down the snow white beach. The guest bedroom has a view of the beautiful lagoon on the north side of the building.
The furnishings include a cozy down couch, oriental rug, beautiful art work, plasma TV in the master AND guest bedroom, and custom draperies. Both bedrooms have king beds, each with upgraded bedding that not only looks great but also feel great too. For they both have high quality mattresses.
It is one of the few units with stainless steel appliances and upgraded flooring and window darkening curtains.
It is a great location on the 4th floor, so there is quick and easy access to the beach, pools, and game room.
This complex has a full time management company and security, located on the premises. They are friendly and helpful. And the presence of the security guards is very reassuring.
If you would like to see additional pictures just let me know and I will e-mail them to you.

The Unique Benefits at this Condo
It is perfectly located just one mile from the fun activities of the intersection at Highway 59. But if you want to bypass this area you can take the shortcut directly to further north on Hwy. 59. I particularly love that this is one of the newest and nicest buildings on the Alabama coast. It has wonderful amenities, not the least of which is the fabulous staff that is present all day to assist you with any needs. I also like how quickly I can be on the beach with my lower level unit. It is a wonderful, plush “home away from home” that is available at very competitive prices.
Owner's Map of Crystal Shores West
I had to retire early from my career of chiropractic due to a disability. And I then moved to the Alabama coast to fulfill a lifelong dream of living by this gorgeous beach. I then purchased two condos to start my new business of condo rentals. I've been able to put my years of serving the public to good use in yet a different way. My guests have been wonderful, and I strive to help them by providing a very cost efficient way to stay in luxury accommodations. Since I live in the area full time, I am able to provide many tips that only the locals know about. Call me, and let me know how I can assist you in making this stay in my "home away from home" your best vacation experience.
