We really enjoyed our time in this condo. The description is spot on. Very well decorated and the flat screens were cool as well. The view from the balcony is perfect. We'll be back.

Owner response:Thank you so much for your kind words. We look forward to having you as our guests again very soon!

This well appointed condominium was not only easy to locate but beautiful, extremely clean, comfortable and very accessible to the many delicious restaurants in Gulf Shores. Plus what GREAT views of the beach and Gulf, we were never disappointed in the sunrises or sunsets. We can't wait to return and stay at this condo again.

We stayed at this condo for a long weekend in September while the kids had fall break. It was great. Very comfortable, clean and modern. The view is amazing and peaceful! It's so high up the kids felt like we were on a cruise ship. It's hard to find a place to be comfortable with 2 young boys (mine are 7 and 5) but we were at home here. My youngest son has special needs and if he's not at peace with something we will suffer for it for the entirety - but he loved this place and wants to go back to the "elevator apartment" soon! The twin beds were a total PLUS for us!! There were jelly fish in the ocean but we used the pools the whole time we were there. The carts were convenient for loading our stuff in and out and the other guests were so friendly and fun. We had a great time and will be going back soon!!

We rented this condo for the month of February. We found the condo very comfortable and "as advertised". The kitchen is well supplied. The unit was very clean. We didn't want for anything and were as comfortable as we would be at home. The owner was very helpful and easy to work with. I would recommend this condo to anyone. Crystal Tower is a well-managed building. Clean with great amenities. Getting to the beach was a breeze with the covered walkway. You won’t be sorry renting this unit.

Crystal Tower is a wonderful property; being on the top floor is a privilege, and we try to maintain very high standards for not only amenities but cleanliness as well. You and your friends are welcome back anytime! Susan and Jim

We just returned from our second trip to Susan's lovely condo. The only negative I can see about staying here is that I hate going back home. We love this place. It is so clean and comfortable. You can tell that Susan is a hands on owner. Sadly, I have seen many once nice condos trashed by guests and then neglected by their owners. This is not the case with Susan and the property managers at Youngs Suncoast. Together they make sure you have a great vacation. The pools and hot tubs are beautiful and clean. The beds are all very comfortable even the pull out couch. The kitchen is well stocked and I love the pretty granite countertops. My son thinks the best part is the great view of the pelicans as they fly by. Also, he loves the big screen tvs. I highly recommend this condominium!

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

We found the condo in great shape, just like your pictures on line. The view was outstanding, the pool came in handy every day and we had great weather. A great place to relax, enjoy the beach and have fun with the family. Thank you again for your hospitality.

We stayed here last summer and hope to again this Fall. The King size bed is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on away from home. It is amazing. Great condo, great pools, views and convenient to everything!

Owner response:Laurel, we are so happy you have enjoyed your stay at our home . We try hard to make our guests' visit as enjoyable as possible, even when you're sleeping! We look forward to having you stay with us again!

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.

This condo is very clean and in great condition. Great location for day trips to Pensacola. Balcony is a favorite place to eat or just relax watching the pelicans fly by.
