Great Experience!!!

My family had a great time in Gulf Shores. The condo at Crystal Shore’s was very clean and had everything we needed. The balcony view was a great place to spend our mornings and late evenings. My only negative for our trip was that the jellyfish made swimming in the ocean almost impossible, but that is nature.

Great corner condo with huge balcony

We had a great stay at this condo. Spectacular view and very clean. Fresh towels, linens, and soap were provided, but cooking items like oil, salt, and pepper were not. Luckily, there’s a small grocery store across the street where we could get supplies. All in all, a great stay.

Great!!

We had a great time at Crystal Shores 401! The property was better then described and pictures did not do it justice. It was very clean, quiet and in the perfect location. The beach was great and easily accessible. There was never any wait for an elevator and check-in/check-out was thoroughly explained. We did not have to contact the office at any point during our stay. 10 out of 5 stars! Can't wait to return!

Greater Beachfront Corner Condo Unit!!

This was a great beachfront corner condo unit. It had a wraparound balcony on two sides that was very large, roomy with plenty of outdoor furniture to enjoy. It was on the fourth floor and a great view of the gulf. The condo was very spacious with over 1000 sq ft of living space, two bedrooms, two baths, LR furniture was perfect for a family. The beach is right there out back of the condo without having to go across a long deck/crosswalk to beach. The hot tub and pools were great, too. Our familly had a great time, plenty to do and it was very close to the Hangout. Property management was attentive and we all enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend!!

Awesome Room Unit but facility could use improvements

Unit very clean & well decorated. We didn’t enjoy how the access was to get to the beach. Someone else was parked in our reserved parking spot twice when returning from adventures.. and we got charged for that spot. Our balcony space was filled with smoke from neighbors smoking.. it filled our area & couldn’t enjoy relaxing or watching the gulf view. Our sliding door was stuck & not sliding. Room was clean but stay wasn’t enjoyable in that facility. Suggest providing laundry pods, hand soap and coffee.
