Winter wonderland
This is by far the best place me and my wife have stayed in. It was a very nice condo. We witnessed a once and a lifetime event while we were there too. IT SNOWED IN GULF SHORES. It was cold and delightful and was very happy to experience the event while staying in a wonderful home feeling place.

Blissful Stay
This property is in an excellent location with a beautiful, unobstructed view of the ocean. Parking is tight due to the layout of the lot, so if you’re driving an extended cab truck or large SUV it may be a challenge. The unit was decorated nicely and everything from the small appliances to the AC worked well. I enjoy cooking, so I could have used a few more kitchen gadgets, but for the average traveler it is a well equipped kitchen. The owner was VERY responsive to us while we were there. I would recommend this unit to any Gulf Shores travelers.

Nice property
The location of the property was excellent. We were right on the beach so we really enjoyed that. There were several amenities such as extra toilet paper, beach towels, Garbage bags, Kleenex, that were not provided. We were only provided with one kitchen dish towel and cloth. We have stayed at many VRBO properties, and these items have always been provided. When we checked into the property, the refrigerator and the microwave lights were not working and we reported it right away however it was not fixed during our stay. We always enjoy Gulf Shores and this condo location to the beach, was it selling point

About the host

Host profile image
We hope you find our condo special and a place you will want to return to. We do, and we look forward to our stays in our second home. We only live a few hours south in central Alabama. We've made a lot of upgrades to the unit for our comfort and yours that we are sure you will appreciate, including three flat-panel LCD TV's with DVD players, ceramic tile in the living/dining areas, new bedding king & queen beds, many new dishes, blender, toaster oven, microwave and new balcony furniture.

Why they chose this property

One of the newest condos in Central Gulf shores and within walking distance to everything. Crystal Shores Condo is only 5 miles from the brand new OWA Amusement Park, summer 2017. No other beach's have what we have. Great views and amenities in well designed building. Lots of attractions nearby. My family has a wonderful time there each time we go.
Whether you're reeling in the catch of the day or sightseeing on a dolphin cruise, there's plenty to do and see on an Orange Beach fishing charter or cruise. Experience Gulf Shores and Orange Beach in a whole new way when you fish the back bays of the Alabama Gulf Coast or set sail on the open water. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach fishing charters depart daily. Choose from private charters to party boat charters for the experience that's right for you and your group. Fish the largest artificial fishing reef program in the country when you sink your line in the Gulf waters off of Orange Beach for some Alabama deep sea fishing fun. Dolphin sightseeing tours are equally entertaining and educational and are a fun way to spend the day. Orange Beach sailboat charters are another great way to while away the time on your beach vacation

What makes this property unique

Terrific beach front views, beautiful white sand beach in Central Gulf Shores. Indoor-outdoor pool, free games in the game room, excercise room, sauna, etc. Beach chair rentals exclusive for Crystal Shore guests. Just steps away from the condo .
Nominated as one of the Ultimate Fishing Towns in America, lives up to its name as a great fishing mecca. In Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, you’ll find boats for charter, as well as boats for sale. Or bring your own. Some Gulf Shores and Orange Beach condominiums are even boat friendly and offer launches and boat slips. Enjoy cruising the calmer waters of our back bays or venture out into the Gulf of Mexico where the big fish live.
