Fantastic Place to stay!!!!

The pictures of this condo do not do it justice. The views of the ocean and the bay are fantastic! Condo was very clean and accommodating. Plenty of kitchen utensils and kitchen supplies to cook whatever you needed. Honestly it has the best appliances I’ve ever seen at a rental at the beach. 5 stars all around!

We had a great stay at this condo! It’s right off the beach with super easy access. The space was very clean, cute, and had plenty of room for us. The pool area was nice, although the water was a bit cold during our stay. Overall, it was a great value for the price and we would definitely recommend!

Weekend get away

The experience at the condo was absolutely wonderful. It was very well represented. It was very comfortable and easy to move in and out of. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone that’s going to the Gulf Shores to stay multiple pools inside and out and easy access to the beach we stayed on a corner 12th floor had an excellent view of the golf end of the city

Where Crystal Kisses Gem

This condo at the Crystal Towers was awesome! Offered plenty of space for four adults and two kids (9 and 6). The kids slept on the pull out couch without a problem. The back balcony maybe better than the front, which overlooks an emerald gem of the Gulf! The three pools, two hot tubs, fitness room, and direct access to the beach are incredible!!!

Crystal Towers

Our group had a great time at Crystal Towers in Gulf Shores. The apartment was bigger than expected and we enjoyed the pool. It's very quiet in the apartment even being there during a large event weekend with a lot of guests. Check in and out process is simple and I would book here again. I also appreciated the kindness of iTrip agents I spoke with on the phone prior to our stay.

Amazing trip!! Amazing Corner Room!!The start of our trip was a little rough, our friends arrived to dirty linens on the ground at 4:30pm. Host was very apologetic about the cleaners not getting there on time and it was finished before 5:30pm. The condo was very clean and equipped. Only complaint, the sofa bed needs to be address, it is half broken and can barely hold 2 children, combined 100lbs! I would have to recommend a dress code or some type of restrictions at the pool, as there was one male not dressed/acting appropriate for a family friendly pool/resort. We have stayed at Crystal Towers before but the first time in a corner condo is absolutely a necessity!! We will be back! Thank you for letting us stay!

One month in April

Loved the unit…just my style, I felt completely at home!! A few kitchen amenities were not the greatest. Can opener barely worked, the 1 knife given was dull), could use a sheet pan & a couple more bowl options. Otherwise it functioned fine. I Trip was always very accommodating, answering right away except for one incident. People close by were smoking on the balcony (not only cigarettes either!). There were several times the skunk odor was so strong I couldn’t be out. When I contacted iTrip about it I said it was supposed to be a non-smoking facility, and was basically told they’d contact management to see about the policy but I never heard back again. Overall it was a great stay & I’d use iTrip again.

The location was fantastic and one of the best aspects of our stay. The room was comfortable and clean. The condo offered great amenities, and we enjoyed everything it had to offer. The only downside was that the elevator providing access to the main pool and beach was out of service during our stay, which made carrying our belongings back and forth somewhat inconvenient. Despite that issue, we had a great experience overall and appreciated the property's excellent location and amenities.
