We stayed at this condo from 6/9/12 - 6/16/12 and had a fantastic time. We got to the beach and it rained for two days. The condo was large enough for both of our small children to run around and pass the time until the rain stopped. The beach location is perfect and although the pool is small, it was never crowded. We had a great time and will return again. Thanks Rod and Kath for sharing this great place with us.Owner response: Thank you so much for placing your traveler's review. It means a lot to Kath and I. Don't forget to remind us next year to give you an extra $25 off your rate - rod

My husband and I spent an amazing week here (4/14/12 - 4/21/12). The condo is so completely furnished that we found there was nothing that we needed that wasn't there. We had such an awesome time sitting on the balcony with our coffee every morning and watching the beach and water from the 10th floor. We saw dolphins playing in the water, and schools of devil rays swimming in the surf. The access to the beach was one of my favorite things as I am a beach bum. I was able to carry everything I needed to enjoy my day on the beach without requiring help from my husband. Just a few steps off the boardwalk and you are there. We will definitely be repeat guest....can't wait to come again. Hoping to plan an all girls trip!!!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway, age 55+.

My husband stayed for the week (our spring break) and had an amazing time. Watching the beach from the 10th floor every morning while drinking coffee was one of the highlights of the trip. The condo was wonderful...everything needed was there. Access to the beach was awesome and the pools although small were pleasant as well. We will definitely be repeat guests.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We recently stayed at this condo, and it was a restful and wonderful vacation. The condo was perfect, clean and right on the beach, which we loved! The sand and beach were pristine. The sand is like sugar, and the beach was clean and beautiful. We walked almost 40 miles that week on the beach and Gulf Shores roads to restaurants and stores. There were so many activities we could have taken advantage of, but the goal of this vacation was rest and recharging our personal "batteries', which we did. The people on the beach were so friendly, and we chatted with people from all over the United States. By all means, take advantage of this great vacation location. You will be as pleased as we were!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

My wife Sally and I are looking forward to returning to Gulf Shores. We have been enjoying this wonderful location for about 16 years. We are from northern minnesota so there's nothing more that needs to be said about that. !st, this is a wonderfully clean, well equiped, first class condo and the owners are very friendly and will respond to your needs promply. Crystal Shores is located right in the middle of all the activity here including miles of white sand beaches, great seafood restrurants, paved bike trails, many gulf courses and nearby activities like museums in Mobile and Pensecola where you can watch the Blue Angels pratice free. We would recommed this property to our friends and reletives.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, people with disabilities, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

MY HUSBAND AND I JUST RETURNED FROM THIS BEAUTIFUL CONDO ON OCT 31, 2011. IT IS TASTEFULLY AND BEAUTIFULLY DECORATED WITH FULL AMENITIES! RARELY HAVE WE RENTED A PROPERTY WITH DVD PLAYERS IN EVERY BEDROOM, PLUS THE LIVING ROOM, THAT ACTUALLY HAVE INSTRUCTIONS POSTED! THE WASHER AND DRYER ARE FULL SIZE, THE KITCHEN HAD HIGH QUALITY APPLIANCES, AND ALL THE SMALLER ONES NEEDED, EVEN A HAND MIXER! THE BLENDER MADE GREAT MARGARITAS! WE LIKE TO COOK LOCAL SEAFOOD ON VACATION, AND THE POTS AND PANS WERE EXCELLENT AND PLENTIFUL, AS WAS THE TABLEWARE. THE BALCONY W/ A TABLE FOR FOUR, ALSO HAD A SIDE TABLE AND TWO MORE CHAIRS THAT WERE VERY COMFY, WITH A FULL VIEW OF THE GULF. THE LOCATION WAS GREAT! WE WALKED DOWN THE BEACH TO "BAHAMA BOB'S" , A FAVORITE LOCAL RESTAURANT AND BAR. BEACH SHOPPING IS IN WALKING DISTANCE. PARKING WAS CONVENIENT, AND EVEN LUGGAGE CARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO UNLOAD YOUR CAR. WE VISITED THE NEARBY AND FREE NAVAL AVIATION MUSEUM IN PENSACOLA, IT WAS VERY WORTHWHILE. WE ARE BEACH CONNOSIEURS, HAVE BEEN TO MOST OF FLORIDA'S BEACHES, AND THIS IS BETTER! THE GULF WATER IS CLEAR, THE BEACH IS CLEAN, THE SURF PERFECT FOR BODYSURFING AND SURF FISHING. WE CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

My wife and I, and another couple have stayed here 3 years running. It's a fabulous place to stay. The owners are great and the condo itself couldn't be better. From the moment you walk in the front door, you feel at home. It's spotlessly clean and well kept. The main living area is nice and open. The kitchen is well equipped. Nice, clean appliances means you don't have to eat every meal out. Stock the refrigerator and cook at home! Both bedrooms are nice and big, Each with it's own large, spotless bath. The entire condo is well furnished and comfortable. The living room opens up to a large balcony, which offers panoramic views of the beach and Gulf below. We watch the sun come up and set on the balcony each day and night. It's stellar! When you're ready to hit the beach, just hop on the elevator and you're on one of the prettiest white sand beaches you'll ever experience. A nice, clean pool awaits you on the property too. The fitness center is well equipped and features a wall of windows so you can watch the ocean while you exercise. The building is conveniently located to many restaurants, shopping, and world-class golf. The Hangout, one of the most popular restuarants and watering holes in all of Gulf Shores, is a short walk down the beach. This condo is the best kept secret in Gulf Shores. We will stay here again and again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.

We have been traveling to this condo for three years now and we absolutely love it. We have two small kids and they call it their "Alabama Homey." We hit the grocery store on thecway into town and eat all of the meals we make at home on the balcony. We always plan several lunches and dinners out, though, because we just have to eat at our favorite places in town.. And there are a lot! It is so great to be able to hit the beach, the pool, the workout room or the pool table in just steps. The condo is always spotless and we live the king size bed in the second bedroom. It is a great size for just our family in four, but we've also gone with other families as well, and we always seem to fit no matter how many people we bring. We love this condo and are planning our next trip already!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Crystal shores. It appeared to be professionally decorated and it was meticulously clean. Every morning we ate breakfast on the balcony and divided our day between beautiful beach or pool. A side trip to Pensecola Air Force base to watch the Blue Angels was exciting. We usually ate at places the "locals" frequented and found folks to be very friendly. We found the owners to be helpful and honest. I would recommend Crystal Shores without hesitation.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: Kathleen and I owned our own business for a number of years. Now we play with our gand kids in Ohio in the summer and winter on the beach in Gulf Shores
Why the Owner Chose Crystal Shores:
We ended up in Gulf Shores because in Gulf Shores we can relax on a world class beach without the rest of the world being there. And, there is another reason. Gulf Shores is a family oriented community. A place where my kids and their kids can play on the beach without any distractions. In my opinion, Gulf Shores is Alabama's best kept secret
