Great location

Fairly clean beautiful views easy access to many fun things to see and do. Great communication with property manager. Only real complaint is that we were not informed that the pool and hot tub were under construction.

Very Relaxing

I stayed for the entire month of January and totally enjoy every day, even the 7" of snow. Loved listening to the waves breaking and watching dolphins from the balcony. I texted with questions a couple of times and the property manager was quick to respond and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Great beach Christmas

Even though we had some chilly days, overall we had a great trip. The condo was very comfortable. The view from the 13th floor was spectacular! We cook most of our meals in the condo and we had everything we needed. Terry was great to work with and always responded quickly to any communication. We will definitely book this unit again.

Long Weekend

We had a wonderful stay at this property. We would definitely return. The host had excellent communication- which I appreciate. The resort could use a few upgrades- the pool area is looking a little run-down, but the beach area is stunning. Great location. We would return.

First time in Gulf Shores.... Fantastic!

The views are breathtaking and seeing dolphins and stingray from our room made it even better! Our condo was excellent, roomy, relaxing and clean! The only improvement would be a more comfy couch and the pool could use some minor repairs as several tiles were coming loose or fell off. Those are minor in our mind. If your looking for steps away from the ocean, indoor outdoor pool and hot tub plus amazing views, Stay here!

Great Stay at Crystal Shores 1306

Our stay at Crystal Shores was great. Waking up in the morning having our coffee on the balcony while watching the dolphins swim by was so relaxing! This is a great location, close to many good restaurants and a small shopping mart right across the street. The unit was nice, spacious and clean. We didn’t experience any problems, other than having to leave after our two week stay!

About the host

Hosted by Jimmy Garrett

Host profile image
I own and manage rental property in my own hometown, and in Gulf Shores besides this condo. My wife, three daughters, and I have always enjoyed warm weather in Alabama; now that I am finally settling down, my wife and I have decided to buy a few condos. This is our home away from home! We love relaxing and enjoying the sun!

Why they chose this property

We love the southern Alabama beaches, and because we have friends living within thirty miles of Gulf Shores, we decided to buy beachfront property. We finally decided to move to Gulf Shores in January 2020 after vacationing here for 20 years. We know you will love our new city as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

My wife is an avid shopper and she enjoys the two shopping outlets located in Gulf Shores, plus the several surf shops in Gulf Shores too. My three daughters and their friends enjoy going to the festivals held annually year around, going to The Hangout less than one mile from our condo, and go-kart racing in Gulf Shores! We all go out to eat at our favorite restaurant throughout the week! There are over seventy-five restaurants within ten miles of our condo. Our favorite restaurants are the Shrimp Basket, Lambert's, Tacky Jack's, the Fish River Grill, and The Rib Shak BBQ.
