We invite you to stay in our family's home-away-from-home at the sugary white beaches at #906 Crystal Shores Condominiums!!!
From our condo, the beach is "at your doorstep"... no long boardwalks or dragging beach chairs and coolers across miles of sand, parking lots, or street crossings.
I do things a little different than most... the "weekly" and "monthly" prices included on my site are "all inclusive prices". What this means is that all fees are included in my prices... the fees for taxes, parking, cleaning are all included... no more confusion trying to get to the bottom line on pricing.
Crystal Shores was built in 2004 and is a low density building with a large beach area. We are surrounded by restaurants, grocery stores and activities for the children. The area is quiet and family oriented.
We have a very clean and newly re-decorated 2 bedroom, 2 bath condominium. This smoke-free, pet-free, condo sleeps 5-6 comfortably. The kitchen is well stocked and has beautiful granite tops. There is queen size bed in the master bedroom and this bedroom has an adjoining full bath. The guest bedroom has a queen size bed and has a private shower/tub adjoining bathroom. There is also a queen size sleeper sofa in the den.
The master bedroom and living room both have sliding glass doors that open to your beach front balcony. The balcony has a patio table and chairs where you can sit back and watch the waves roll in. There is also a full size washer/dryer.
On site, there is an in-door/out-door pool connected by a swim-through feature, game room, exercise room, sauna, and assigned covered parking. FREE WIFI internet service.
At beach-side, come take a dip in the swim-through indoor/outdoor heated pool and hot tub. What a fabulous way to enjoy the beautiful sunshine and stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
After you swim, soak in the sauna, baste in the sun, then top off you day at the grill where you can cook steaks and any fish that may have found their way onto your hook!
Great shopping nearby which include the Tanger Outlet Mall, Target, Wal-Mart, lots of beach/souvenir/special stores etc...
If you are a golfer, there are LOTS of very nice golf courses in the area... There is also lots of delicious food served at various restaurants in the area, water park, a zoo, miniature golf, Tract Amusement Park... etc. Details on all these sites/activities can be obtained when you arrive from the visitors center located very close to this condo on Highway 59.
This is a NON-smoking unit, NO pets allowed, NO exceptions!
*** During Summer, there is a minimum 4 night stay, There is a 3-night minimum stay for off season***

This was our first long trip with our 9 month old boy and first time to the Gulf Shores area. Melanie was so great to work with and helped us feel at home before we even arrived. The condo is very nice, felt like it was less then a year old. There is no words to describe the view from this condo. We enjoyed breakfast and lunch there each day and were even able to sit our son's highchair out there for him to enjoy his meals! Pool is refreshing and was never to crowded. You are a very short walk to the beach which was great for all the stuff we took out to the beach each day. I was sad to leave but felt great knowing we have someone so easy to work with next year!

This trip was our first to Gulf Shores as well as our first rental transaction with Melanie. Things couldn't have gone any better. I was concerned that the location of the condo was isolated from restaurants, shopping, etc. That was certainly not the case...anything we needed was a short drive away. The condo was well outfitted and provided more than enough space for the two of us. The view from the balcony was spectacular and the beaches were immaculate. It was a great four days and I'd highly recommend Melanie's place in Gulf Shores if you're looking for a relaxing beach getaway.

We took our two boy, 4 and 6, and the condo provided such a wonderful environment where I didnt need to be nervous they were going to break something but it was so nicely decorated that I felt like I was on a sweet vacation....because I was!! The entire rental expierence was so smooth and easy. Thank You and can't wait to come back!!

February Vacation

Review Submitted: 03/08/11
We enjoyed our stay in Melanie's condo at Crystal Shores during February, 2011. It was clean, well furnished and roomy. The pool and hot tub were well maintained. The weather was great for beach walking, mid-70's most afternoons and even 80° a couple of times. The location is convenient to restaurants and shopping. We walked to Bahama Bob's and Tequila West ($3 margaritas!!). The view from the large patio was even better than shown in the photos and was very nice for dolphin watching and sunbathing. We would certainly consider staying there again on our next visit to the Gulf Shores area.

The accomodations were 5 star and as advertised. We spent the weekend after Labor Day and the beaches were beautiful and the ocean view was fantastic.The Condo kept us very comfortable with a very modern kitchen, lovely living area and the bedrooms were very accomodating. All attractions are within a few miles and the beaches were in great shape and very natural. We saw more dolphins, minnows and crabs within a few yards of the beach than we have ever seen on the gulf. Melanie, thank you for allowing us into your home and we look forward to returning soon!

Condo Review for Crystal Shores #268527

Review Submitted: 03/25/10
We stayed the entire month of February at this condo. The building has wonderful amenities. We loved the indoor pool, though it was not as warm as it should have been due to the cold weather. The outdoor hot tub was wonderful and kept temperature. The exercise room is well-equipped, clean and has a great view of the ocean. The unit itself was nicely decorated and had most items necessary in a kitchen. Beds were comfortable, wifi worked well. The unit is on the 9th floor and with the high winds during February it was noisy, particularly at night; no fault of the owner--unusual weather. Nice beaches and friendly people. Numerous renters return each year in February who know each other and there is a weekly social on Tuesdays. Proximity to grocery stores and restaurants is good. We also liked the keyless entry and covered parking garage.
