Clean and classy, beachfront condo on 3rd floor.
Beautiful beach front condo with sand in the toes beach access within 2 minutes from our door! It's perfect for relaxing with family or friends, with easy access to restaurants, shops, golf, etc. It's the perfect spot to see and hear the waves roll onto the shore from our balcony - or inside if you leave the doors open! Watching dolphins swim while enjoying your morning coffee on the balcony is awesome! Also there are times when the Blue Angels practice their rounds--so fantastic to watch their maneuvers above!!🐠
The condo has been upgraded extensively in the last few years, including new large screen, VIZIO 4K HDR Smart TV's, new balcony furniture, new inside furniture with La-Z-Boy recliner, new plumbing fixtures including comfort toilets, ceiling fans, etc.
Both bedrooms feature new, high-end Sealy Posturepedic Performance mattresses with pillow-tops, providing all-over support and comfort with cushioning gel memory foam.

With this unit comes 1 reserved covered parking space keeping your vehicle cool out of the sun within 60 feet of the 2 elevators. One additional parking space is potentially available in the non-reserved portion of the parking area for a nominal fee of $50.🦐
Crystal Shores is one of the newer (2004) condominium complexes sitting directly on the white sand beaches of Gulf Shores. This complex offers a pool with a waterfall hot tub that leads to an indoor pool that is seasonally heated, plus dry sauna and a work-out room with TV’s - allowing you to easily overlook both the beach and the pool! The game room is equipped with both pool and foosball tables for your enjoyment off the beach. WIFI Internet (password protected) is included throughout the complex. Charcoal grills are available for our guests use as well but you must bring your own charcoal/starter. Rental chaise lounges/umbrellas are available March to November from a 3rd party.

The VIZIO Smart TV’s also have lots of other capabilities - especially Smartcast, which enables you to see whatever you have set up on your smart phone, laptop or tablet - such as Amazon, YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, HBONOW, CBS, Pandora, etc. We also providing a high quality portable Bluetooth speaker for your listening pleasure with MP3/radio player loaded with music. In addition to the large, comfy couch and ottoman, there is a La-Z-Boy recliner and swivel rocker. 🐡
The dining room set has 4 chairs and a glass topped table. There are 3 more matching bar chairs for the kitchen eating area as well.🕊
The kitchen is fully stocked with granite counters and glass tile back splash providing an upscale cozy space to prepare meals.

The towels are Charter Club from Macy's. Both provide a difference you will feel! 🐟
Our unit has been completely repainted and furnished with a rich mixture of colors, textures - with art work throughout. The well-appointed living and dining rooms boast style, function, and comfort. When cleaned, we have found that damp mopping the floors provides a difference you can feel. 🐠
The expansive balcony, accessible from both the Living Room and the Master Bedroom, provides a great place to sit and watch the dolphins go by at a level that makes you truly feel like you are at the beach! On the balcony or inside with the doors open you will hear the surf cascading onto the white sand beaches. It is furnished with 4 Coastal Bar Adirondack chairs that are the perfect height for beach-gazing over the railing , 2 bar tables and 2 bar stools for your feet - or to sit on. During the hot summer months you remain cool in the shade, and you are welcome to use the portable fan in the MBR closet. During the cooler winter months you will feel the warmth of the sun relaxing in those same chairs providing you with a great view of the beach 🏖
Pedro and Maria do the cleaning for us, and they need enough time to have it sparkling for the next guests! Our check in time is 3:00 PM and check out time is 9:00 AM. It is so worth having the same person taking care of your place every week, as they are able to make sure it is properly cleaned as well as know when something happens before your arrival so you are not charged for another guest's issues. When you arrive it will be really clean, properly inventoried, and maintained to our standards (soap/paper products/cleaning materials coffee filters/etc.), all in good condition upon your arrival, no excuses. There are no pets allowed at Crystal Shores except for owners. This is a non-smoking unit as well, including the balcony. There is a community-use smoking area on the ground floor near Beach Bolulevard. Please note that check in time is 3:00 PM and check out time is 9:00 AM! 🐟
Guests will be issued key fobs to access the beach, beach storage, the pool, the exercise and game room areas so that only Crystal Shores owners and guests may access them.
Also your parking pass will be on the kitchen counter upon arrival! Please place it on your car dashboard🐟
Our focus is to deliver an exceptional vacation experience and value rather than a cheap rental price. 🦐

The condo was super cute and very clean - well maintained. We loved that it was on the 3rd floor - very easy access to the beach (going back and forth for food/drinks/bathroom breaks). The hosts are super nice and communicated wonderfully about everything. They were always quick to respond to answer any question we had. Would definitely stay there again! It was a great week!

Thanks so much for picking our place, for taking good care of it, and for writing this nice review. So glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope you come back again!
We had an amazing vacation. Host was great with communication and answering questions, condo was beautiful, super clean and well stocked with everything we needed, beds were very comfortable, breath taking views of the ocean. Close to grocery store, restaurants and shops. We spent most of our time on the beach and were incredibly grateful for the nice beach umbrella and beach chairs they supplied for us, it saved a lot of money from renting these items!!! Thank you so very much for the overall wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back.

What a wonderful review! Thanks so much. You were wonderful guests, and we’d love to have you back!
5 stars all around! The condo was clean, had everything we needed, and was in a great location! The views of the Gulf were absolutely amazing! I could have sat on the balcony all day! This condo also comes with the best host. Before the trip he sent us all the info we would need for the condo as well as things to do and places to eat. We have been to Gulf Shores many times but I love to try new places others recommend and he gave us a list of their favorite things, much appreciated!! It was a great week!

We enjoyed our week long stay. The master bed was very comfortable and that means so much since it’s typically hard to find a bed that feels as good as home. The owners were very nice and helpful with any questions we had.

We had an awesome time at Gulf Shores! Since this was our first time here we weren't sure what to expect in regards to the condo, location to the beach, and this place was perfect. The condo was immaculate and was equipped with everything we needed. Jack was a great host from beginning to end. He made the whole process so easy. Thanks again for sharing your home with us! I hope we can make it back here again.

Thanks very much for the additional information in our follow-up text exchange. We're addressing the two concerns you had about the condo, and we've alerted the HOA to the feedback that pertained to them. We feel certain you'll have a 5-star experience when you return! Thanks for working with us!
Overall Fantastic. The property was very clean and exactly as listed. I was super happy with the Dish TV in every room. We never even logged in to our streaming services. Jack was super attentive and even took a phone call from us on the first day. 10/10 recommend!

Thanks, Tim! You were wonderful guests. Hope you'll come back again when you need a beach getaway!
The condo had everything we needed: comfortable beds, great views, 2 baths and a great kitchen. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the dolphins swim by every morning. The only thing i can think to improve is a larger tv in the second bedroom and that is mainly for us older folks with bad eyes, lol.

Thanks for picking our condo out of all the many choices you have - and thanks for your nice review! You were a 5-star guest, and we hope you'll come back often!
The condo is as described and perfect for a couple, 2 couples, or a family. A few instant thoughts: the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, we liked having an assigned parking spot, and the condo was very clean. The balcony, which I spent many hours on, is spacious not at all cramped, has good furniture (tall chairs that allow you to see over the railing rather than through it like looking through prison bars), has entry from the living room and master bedroom, and there's nothing below the balcony to distract which I appreciate. It's the 3rd floor which was fantastic for hearing the crashing waves and watching dolphin We enjoyed everything about it, 10/10 recommend, and we plan to return.

Perfect condo for us. Very clean and I'm particular about my house cleaning. The balcony furniture is ideal for relaxing with a clear view of the ocean and the soothing sound of the waves. The kitchen had everything I needed to make meals with new applicances. Jack (the owner) always answers promptly and is very easy to work with. We look forward to going back for a third time in the ner future.

The property was nice, clean. Good location. Close to pretty much everything. They need a door stopper for the actual condo door. The door is heavy. You can not keep it open when bringing things into the room.

About the host
Hosted by Jack & Marilyn Curtis
When Gulf Shores was just a strip of a white sandy beach my family would drive from Mobile every Saturday for the day. My childhood dream was to someday live on the beach. That dream was finally fulfilled in 2005 when I found Crystal Shores.
Just being a part of the wonderful environment and gorgeous surroundings which makes up Crystal Shores has awakened me to a new way of life. Jack and I love waking up to the sound of rolling waves and enjoying coffee on the balcony while watching the dolphin frolic right in front of us. Strolling along the beach I have experienced times of relaxation and excitement. It is amazing what swims by---dolphin, all types of fish, jellyfish, tiny rays---all the wonders of an ocean.
We love to watch the sunrise, but especially the sunset. Another day well spent in the home we have created for our guests and for Jack and me. Thank you for sharing my dream.
Marilyn Curtis
Why they chose this property
Location, Location, Location.... less than 1 mile from the Hangout, Crystal Shores is centrally located within the heart of Gulf Shores but just far enough away to give you the ability to relax with your feet in the sand! If you forgot something, the Pier 33 Grocery store is just across the street, so there is no need to fight the traffic/crowds for that forgotten item.
Jack and I decided to move away from a rental management company to manage it ourselves - and offering what we would want for ourselves! We continually upgrade our unit so as to offer our guests EVERYTHING we would want for ourselves! We re-invest a significant chunk of our earnings towards upgrades to make your stay exceptional.... and that is exactly what what we should all want... exceptional.
What makes this property unique
Crystal Shores offers year around amenities and a family friendly environment. Our unit provides you with a dedicated covered reserved parking space so your vehicle will always have a place out the elements (rain or shine) and close to the elevators.
