Great condo. Perfect for my husband and I but had plenty of room if there had been more of us. Lots of kitchenwares for us to make meals and sit on the deck to eat. The host was very quick to reply to messages and everything was as described. Would recommend to family and friends.

Our party of 4 were well pleased with this condo. We had plenty of room and loved being directly on the beach. The area is a somewhat quieter than other locations yet you can easily access everything from it. Would stay there again and would recommend it to anyone.

Great location!

The location of Crystal Shores was fantastic. We were less than 5 minutes from a plethora of attractions and were pleased with the speedy elevator and ease of access to the beach. The condo was perfect for our family. Furniture was protected well and wipeable which was a big plus since we had toddlers with us. The porch furniture was comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked - couldn’t find scissors though which would have been handy a few times during our stay. Otherwise we had a great experience. The kids hope to return soon!

Crystal Shores stay 2024

2024 was either our fourth or fifth year of visiting Gulf Shores. We've stayed at Crystal Shores every single year. A tropical storm was moving in so we only had a day and a half on the beach but we still enjoyed our stay immensely. We're looking forward to 2025 and already praying the weather cooperates.
