The location of Crystal Shores was fantastic. We were less than 5 minutes from a plethora of attractions and were pleased with the speedy elevator and ease of access to the beach. The condo was perfect for our family. Furniture was protected well and wipeable which was a big plus since we had toddlers with us. The porch furniture was comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked - couldn’t find scissors though which would have been handy a few times during our stay. Otherwise we had a great experience. The kids hope to return soon!

Great condo. Perfect for my husband and I but had plenty of room if there had been more of us. Lots of kitchenwares for us to make meals and sit on the deck to eat. The host was very quick to reply to messages and everything was as described. Would recommend to family and friends.

Stayed at Crystal Shores 703 Loved the layout of the condo. Wonderful views with a large balcony that you could walk out from the living area and the bedroom. A very short walk to the beach. Rental company was great to work with and we will definitely book with them again.

This rental was a great value. The view was directly at the gulf. There is nothing between you and water except sand. The only thing you will regret about this property is not renting it for your next trip to the beach.

2024 was either our fourth or fifth year of visiting Gulf Shores. We've stayed at Crystal Shores every single year. A tropical storm was moving in so we only had a day and a half on the beach but we still enjoyed our stay immensely. We're looking forward to 2025 and already praying the weather cooperates.

We brought our crockpot because we didn't see that in the list of appliances. Would be a great idea to mention it. The interior was nice and beds were so comfortable. It was quiet and we could hear the ocean inside with the doors open. One thing I would mention though is we didn't have access to a broom ( which we really needed) Definitely a 5 star.

Property is in a good location and a quiet area. Condo is nice with some fairly minor maintenance issues, which, if taken care of, would make this a true gem.
