Cruise ship or condo? It's hard to tell from the view! Step out on the 20th floor balcony of our Crystal Tower penthouse and take in the magnificent ocean view. Relax in one of the lounge chairs, or enjoy your morning coffee at the outdoor dining table of unit # 2008.
Pool, beach club or ocean? It's hard to make a decision! For a quick dip, you will find the indoor pool, outdoor pool and hot tub adjacent to the lobby. Across the air-conditioned walkway (or the blue tunnel, as it is referred to)you will find the largest pool in Gulf Shores. Drift through the lazy river, or lounge in one of the many chairs provided; restroom facilities and showers are also available.
There is a covered dining area, or if you prefer, a more private upper sundeck. OR, proceed down the wooden walkway to l00' of beautiful white sand. Chairs and umbrellas are available for rent at the end of the walkway, and when your day at the beach is over, come back and enjoy the hot tub.
Dine in or grill out? Regardless of your choice, you will find all the tools and appliances necessary in our well stocked kitchen. We provide the BBQ tools, you provide the charcoal and food. Benches and tables are found at the grilling area making it easy to be the chef you really are!
King, queen or twin? Whatever your choice or need, we provide all three. Several renters have commented on how comfortable the beds are, but don't take their word for it, come see for yourself. Either way you can enjoy the great TVs; HD really does make a difference.
Walk through our front door, see the view and immediately you will see why we refer to a stay here as non-stop relaxation.

Why the Owner Chose Crystal Tower
The amenities in Crystal Tower are superb, and the property is extremely well-maintained. The fact that it was built in 2006 and has the most up to date construction features is another plus. The location is perfect, there is easy load in and out, the pools and hot tubs are some of the nicest we have seen. The on-site management and security is an additional amenity not found at other places.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
there are 3 pools, 1 indoor and 2 outdoor, one of which is the largest pool in Gulf Shores. There are 2 hot tubs, a game room, nicely equipped exercise room, private access to the beach club. The unit itself is family friendly, and extremely quiet. The balconies are extra large, there is a washer/dryer right in the unit, the on-site management is always there to offer assistance.
Owner's Map of Crystal Tower
Jim and I had always enjoyed the times we spent in Gulf Shores, and when an opportunity arose for us to purchase a condo , we jumped on it. We have had the most fun decorating and furnishing the place, and even more fun learning the back roads, the favorite local eating places and the best fishing spots. Our friends that have stayed there confirm what we have always felt: once you step in the front door, you never stop relaxing! We invite you to "come for non-stop relaxation"

We had a fantastic vacation at your condo! LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it! Everything was perfect. I’m sure when my husband spoke with you previously he told you we usually rented beach houses near Fort Morgan. We weren’t sure how we’d like a condo. We found yours to be exceptional. We liked being closer to town (rather than the 15 minute drive to Gulf Shores). Although we went at a busy time of the year, we had very little trouble finding a spot on the beach or chairs at the pool. Our kids are STILL talking about the big pool. We all loved the big screen TV’s. Although we didn’t stay in much, they were enjoyed when we were resting in between activities. The kids loved the bright colored bedroom and we loved the master bedroom with the gulf view and balcony. WHAT A VIEW! Absolutely beautiful. We had a fantastic family vacation. The amenities were great, the weather was cooperative, and our kids were even pretty well behaved! J Can’t wait to go back! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful condo, The Webbs

Thank you, Susan for the use of your condo. We were very impressed, the condo was even prettier in person. We had a wonderful time and wonderful weather. Check in was super simple. Less than five minutes (which is nice after driving in a car for 12 hours!). We would love to come stay again sometime.
