Perfect for our family!
We just got back from our stay here and had the best time. This condo was perfect for our family of 5. Easy walk to the beach, amazing balcony views with plenty of seating and kitchen stocked with all the essentials for cooking. Our littles especially loved the pool. We would definitely recommend this place to others.

Perfect condo for Girls Trip
Myself and my 2 daughters spent a week and this condo was perfect. The location, the pools, the beach access, parking, etc were all great and easy for us infrequent travelers. Vacasa made this booking, the stay, and communication so easy. We were even texting check in day about missing curtains and a broken curtain/blind, and they immediately replied. Those items did not deter our stay. The condo was very clean and comfortable. The weather was not so great, double red flag days and waters were closed, so we visited local attractions and shops and spent a lot of time in the condo. We are already planning another trip back as we will definitely stay here again! We might even bring the husband and boys back with us :)

Club Volleyball family in town for the weekend
We had a wonderful weekend in this condo! The cleanliness was perfection and the space perfect for our family of 5. The facility is very clean and well maintained. Two pools, one being absolutely beautiful with beach views. Condo is equipped with easy walkway access to the beach, fully stocked kitchen to prepare meals, great balcony furniture with multiple seating options, access to two large hot tubs and minutes from anywhere you want to go. Perfect place while we were in town for volleyball. Memories were made.

As expected
Unit was clean and as expected. The kitchen is minimally stocked- has most of what you need nothing more. There were no wristbands in the unit so we had to have them bring us some. (The employees do ask to see them.) Pool and hot tub are great. There is only a couple feet of sand at the beach which was a bummer- but I know they’re about to start fixing that over the next few months. Overall good stay.

Love Gulf Shores
We had a great stay at this unit. The only trouble we had was the dishwasher. We were on the 11th floor, and the balcony was my favorite spot. I short distance to everything and many things within walking distance! So much fun!

Crystal Tower is great, but NOT Vacasa!
We love Crystal Tower and have stayed in different units over the years, but none before managed by Vacasa. And we don't plan to again! To make a long story short, we had no working refrigerator from when we arrived on Tuesday afternoon until Saturday afternoon. After many texts and 2 different people coming to look at the fridge, it wasn't until we drove to the Vacasa office that we actually got something done. But when they finally brought a working fridge, instead of taking the non-working fridge out, they put the working fridge blocking half the hallway! Then on the last night of our vacation, the freezer part of the non-working fridge (the freezer had been working all along) began making loud banging noises, disrupting our sleep. Other things: one of the toilet seats was broken. One of the decorative bed pillows was very dirty. The bed skirt was tacked on with heavy-duty staples and tacks which fell off on the floor, and are a real hazard to be stepped on. I noticed in another review of Vacasa that someone stepped on a tack in the night, and obviously they have not rectified that situation. Vacasa offered us a partial refund for the refrigerator situation because a lot of our food spoiled, but over a week later I have yet to see the refund.

No complaints!
The property was clean and as advertised. The view/experience from the balcony was better than expected as you can still hear the waves even though you are across the street. It was a short, easy walk to the beach.

Crystal Tower
Condo was very clean; however, they was no seal under the door so cold air came in until we stuffed a towel underneath it. Cable was constantly going in and out and someone used tacks to secure bed skirting. My husband stepped on one when getting up during night.

A good experience for us.
No problems at all. The only that happened during our stay was one morning inspectors knocked on our door to inspect windows and doors. It would have been nice to know they were coming and wondered if they would have come in when we weren’t there.
