All about the view

The beds were super comfy and the view from the balcony was spectacular. Easy beach access was also a bonus. The only thing that could be addressed is the tub didn’t drain properly in the master bathroom and the shower head in the other bathroom didn’t spray properly. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Memorial Day Stay

Perfect location. If you’re worried about not being directly on the beach..DONT! The walkway across is air conditioned, the pool and facilities are clean and right on the beach. You can rent chairs for the day right on the beach too! Condo was clean, bedding was crisp. View was TO DIE FOR! Parking was easy. The only thing I’d change is the shower head in primary bedroom was weak, but the water was hot, towels clean. Would have been nice to have toiletries like shampoo but that’s ok, we knew to bring them based on the check in info. Overall wonderful experience and we will be back.

We had an easy time with our rental. The property has everything we need. We truly enjoyed our stay and is very comfortable and clean. The only thing I would suggest is updating the sofa I didn’t need to bother anyone and everything worked as it should. Thanks for a great vacation

Needs deep cleaning

We had 5 people staying with us however we were not able to pull out the sofa couch once we pulled it out it was covered in who knows what all, we closed it back up and put a sheet on couch. Please do a deep cleaning on the place. Other than that it was awesome location and view and had most of the supplies needed

Spectacular Views!!

Everything about this property was exactly what was promised in the listing. Being a corner condo, we had a beautiful view of the the Gulf Shores beaches, ocean, and bay. The condo has balconies off both bedrooms and a large window in the dining area. We loved the condo and can't wait to go back!

think bed spreads need to be changed, the master bedroom had a stain that looked like blood, need bedspreads that can be washed if not going to have cleaned.

Great condo but beach is disappointing

We’ve been to Crystal Towers 6 times, and this condo (1509) is the best one we’ve been in! Having balconies on both sides is awesome, and the lace is laid out great. It’s furnished nice, and we were comfortable. The down side - the beach in front of Crystal Tower is in need of a little TLC. Evidently a storm took 100 feet of beach away, and now the useable beach is maybe 30 feet wide. We love coming to the Crystal Tower but the beach definitely needs some TLC and sand.

Wisconsin Family on Vacation

Pros - The condo we stayed at was perfect inside. Laundry, dishwasher, stove, microwave, air mattresses, and even a pressure cooker for quick meal. The beds (2) were extremely comfortable as well. Views were unbelievable from the balconies Cons - 1. The hot tub outside didn’t work the whole week we were there 2. The walkway to the beach was closed the entire week we were there. It’s difficult to cross Hwy 182 trying to get to/from the beach without the skyway. 3. The exterior pool/lazy river and large hot tub near the beach was closed the entire week we were there 4. Elevators malfunctioned just about every day we were there. Luckily they never were stuck between floors 5. Pull out sofa bed was unable to be used due to awful stink when it was pulled out

Gulf stay

The property was not big enough for 8 people the mattress I asked about before we came was not replaced I found this out when it went down the first night when one of my children were trying to sleep on it, I knew this because I read the review that said it was not a good blow up mattress and it was a twin not big enough for 2 people. My other child was trying to sleep sitting up in a chair the next morning. I have never given a bad review before but will not stay here again. I did email VRBO to let them know about what happened they contacted the manager and another blow up mattress was brought late that afternoon.
