Was ok
The location was fantastic. The cleanliness however was not. The first day there our feet were black from the floors. Along the baseboards looked like things were spilled and never cleaned (one good cleaning can last a long time) and the side of one of the bed linens was ripped and stained. Under the beds were both full of dirt and small debris. The televisions had 3 remotes and were not completely user friendly…. A bit outdated for sure. Our check out time was 10am and the cleaning gal was there at 930am seeing if we were gone yet. Used the gym for a moment and there was absolutely no moving air or widows to open and wasn’t very good environment for a new guest.

Fair
The overall location was not what I thought. There was no beach, my family had to end up going down to the public beach the entire stay and pay because there was no beach. And when someone came to do general maintenance on the condo while my family was out for the morning they didn’t shut the door back leaving the door open. And the company had no response or comments but I was sorry very disappointed.

Nice place to stay
Our place was clean when we arrived and was nice. The shower in the guest bathroom drained very slow and some of the outside furniture had broken legs. We definitely enjoyed our time here.

Complex is fine with great location. Common area furniture is beyond it’s comfort life. Condo condition is good, furniture is the shortcoming for the price.

Cool place!
The Crystal Towers were a very well maintained property. The amenities were great, especially the private skywalk to the beach. Our condo has a nice view of the ocean and an even better view of the bay out the front door. My only suggestion would be to invest in new mattresses or at least some good foam toppers. The beds were extremely firm and we could feel the springs. Other than this, we would stay here again!

Crystal Tower is the best
I love these condos. This particular unit wasn’t as posh as the one I stayed in before (king bed and sofas could use an upgrade). However, it was perfect for us and our trip. And I would totally stay there again.

All, but...
It was all nice except there is no usable comfortable seating. The 2 couches are in aged disrepair. The brown one sinks to the floor...springs and cushions are shot. The white one shown in the picture smells of old body odor, as well as being so old that the cushions and arms are flat... So, when you return from a fun day, and want to relax in front of the TV, you will need to use the balcony chairs. There is no blanket in the condo, and the sheets are way too short on both beds. The building and amenities are terrific, even though the "lazy river" pool and walkway were closed for renovations. Elevators worked perfectly for us. Vacasa was slow responding, but eventually helped with cleaning the floors and repairing HVAC and a few other issues. Call the local Vacasa office to get a more timely response. Bring blankets, sheets and couches!

2021 Vacation
The area was great. View from condo was the best. Loved the walk over and the three different pools. Condo could have been cleaner. Top surfaces clean but underneath shelves and behind doors very dusty. Air conditioner room needs cleaning, full of dust, which blows right back into the rooms. Floors had been swept but not moped very well. Bottom of white socks were black after walking on floor. Kitchen and master bath sinks dripped badly. Mattresses were extremely hard. Brown sofa needs replacing. Sister sat on it and almost hit the floor hurting her back. Had to clean washing machine before using it. Was full of sand and black marks on inside of tub. Never could get DVD to work and remote in living room needed batteries. Elevators were horrible. Had to use stairs twice from seventh floor. Need to have one for luggage etc. only and the other two for people might work better. Kitchen had just about everything you would need. Stove and refrigerator very clean. Need better cleaning people. Used the vacuum but it smelled very bad. Put a broom and dust pan in the storage room. Furnishing were old but nice except for that brown sofa and mattresses. Would I stay there again , yes. So much better than staying in a hotel. And we were surprised at how quite it was.

Great place to stay!
Our room was wonderful! Beautiful view from the balconies! Very clean. No complaints at all other than the toilet paper holder needs to be replaced and the shower light didn't work. But my biggest issue was the elevators! They have a total of 3 but only 2 were functional! Long wait times during the busiest parts of the day. But overall I loved it. I would definitely stay here again! PS, I loved the guy at the front desk. Jeff. He was very nice and helpful 👍 😀
