First time to Gulf Shores

Gulf shores is so much different than most beachfront areas we’ve visited. Luckily we had a car, because there aren’t any beach bars/restaurants in walking distance. With that said, we were able to stock up at the Publix and Walmart and rarely needed to leave this beautiful property. We didn’t need to purchase any beach toys either, as there’s an area by the storage that visitors leave theirs behind. We loved the balcony. We had breakfast and lunch out there and spotted dolphins daily. This condo is an absolutely perfect home away from home.

Our first Gulf Shores Ala experience

We had a fantastic vacation at The Chrystal Shores condo # 1303.Our host Tana Owen went above and beyond to make sure we had everything that we needed.The condo was very impressive and completely stocked...just bring your clothes and food and turn key..Very quiet place and you never knew there were other people staying there unless you seen them at the beach or pool etc. I highly recommend Tana and we always have very good luck with VRBO.

Love this condo!

My husband and I have always liked the location of Crystal Shores. This condo was the best yet. It was clean and had nice upgrades. The king size bed was comfortable and the new living room furniture was excellent, the best we have encountered over the last 10 years. We will definitely return!

perfect

I enjoyed it immensely. The place was clean, well organized and very comfortable. We liked sitting on the balcony with coffee and watching the dolphins. We even say a manatee. The weather was perfect, beach clean. We really liked the Surf's Up dolphin tour and West Beach Coffee. I would definitely stay again.

Nice beach condo

Very nice and clean beach condo! Owner, Tana, is super fast to respond to any questions you have. The swimming pool is small and not an ocean view, so we didn't use it. I didn't take away stars because it's not the owner's fault, but we couldn't enjoy sitting on our balcony much of the time, which is something we love to do alot, because someone in room next to us was out there smoking alot. I'm allergic to cigarette smoke and it's a rule no smoking allowed, so that was a huge nuisance that affected our stay. Not sure if it was a guest or owner of that condo, but... Again, none of this is Tana's fault, and her condo is probably the cleanest one I've ever stayed in. And comfortable mattresses, new dining and living room furniture, so really nice and decorated cute and beachy. I appreciated her quick communication when we had questions.

Very relaxing

The property was clean and well maintained. It was as advertised other than a slight problem with the ice maker which stopped working. We had a grrat stay and would recommend to anyone looking to stay in a clean condo right on the beach. Definitely would stay there again.

Great First Visit to Gulf Shores

What a beautiful condo and property. Walking in was like home away from home. The view is amazing and ease to the beach great. My college age children found it great also. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. Even little things like fans. Tana was great from booking to stay..quickly answering any questions. The living room furniture is getting a little dated but that didn't bother us as most of our time was outdoors. Beds comfortable with lots of pillows and extra blankets. Location super convenient to local restaurants. Store across the street walkable has lots of basics.

Exactly What A Beach House Should Be

This condo could not have been any better! The decor was amazing - perfect Beach vibe and the patio that over looks the beach had great outdoor furniture and a bar height table that was perfect for breakfast and enjoying dinner at the end of sun drenched days! The condo complex has all the right bells and whistles and everything from the parking garages to the beach were excellently maintained. The condo owner has thought of everything a guest could want or need and she was a joy to communicate with. Our entire 4 day stay was a 10+ Highly Recommended to everyone.
