My kids and I had a lot of fun! The condo was beautiful with an amazing view of the ocean. I just wish we were told before a few days before arrival that we needed to provide our own toilet paper, laundry soap etc.
Fantastic location, amazing views (we saw dolphins from our balcony!), and comfy beds. We will definitely stay again.

Thank you, Elizabeth! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Crystal Shores 1201. It’s wonderful that the fantastic location and amazing views added to your experience. We love seeing the dolphins too! We look forward to welcoming you back for another delightful visit!
First time to Gulf Shores. Loved this place, everything was exactly as listed. Clean, super comfy beds, gorgeous view of the beach and easy access to the beach. No wait for elevator ever which is a huge plus. No noise, peaceful, pretty much amazing.Close to everything you need. Only downside, we wish it had a smart TV for rainy days to stream your own services. Overall 10/10 would recommend and will be back!
Property was nice. If I am honest, it needed some cleaning in the bathroom. Dirt in the corners, some molding needed painting. But it was a nice stay overall

Excellent view!
First time staying in Gulf Shores on the Gulf of America - we are returning next year for 2 months. The condo was very clean and well appointed. Our stay was relaxing and most enjoyable!
We loved our stay. Host was super attentive, we loved waking up to the ocean and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable. We found a bug in the bathroom upon arrival but other than that it was great and we had no problems.
This was our 3rd time at Crystal Shores and we will return again. This unit is great! Nice and clean, quiet and comfy.

Clean, good location
Good location, right on the water. Wish there were more rinse off stations coming off the beach. Would possibly stay there again, we just like to try out other places. We did have a little deal with a couple maintenance workers but got it worked out.
Would book this condo again! Very clean, great view and accommodations were wonderful. The pool could definitely use an update but is not the condo owners fault.

We appreciate your feedback on the pool and will pass this along to the appropriate parties. We’re glad to hear you had a great stay overall and would book the condo again.

Great location and place was clean and comfortable. Beach is amazing. 1201 could use some updates as the TV is not HD and the master bed frame is creaky. Still a 4 star rating.

Beautiful views, clean, and well stocked.
We really loved our stay at Crystal Shores 1201. The condo was clean, comfy, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we could need to cook with.
The view to the east was perfect for morning coffee while watching the sun rise. The kids really enjoyed the game room, pool, and ease of access to the beach.
Host communication was prompt and responsive. We even received daily texts about what color flag was flying that day.
All in all it was a great stay. We would absolutely stay again.
