Exceeded expectations!

We loved our stay at Crystal Shores 701. It was very clean, had a well equipped kitchen, and the beds were comfy. The large wrap around balcony was perfect for enjoying our morning coffee and evening drinks! The kiddos enjoyed the indoor pool, as well as being on the beach. We would definitely stay here again!

Great getaway!

Had a great quick getaway to Gulf Shores, Crystal Shores. My kids and I had a reserved parking space close to elevator and easy check in/out process with open communication to property managers before and during our stay. Would definitely return.

great stay

We loved the location and all the things that came with the place. The only complaint I have is that the sliding doors to balcony would not lock and there was no way to lock the front door from the inside. This is not child friendly when they could get up in the middle of the night and just walk out to balcony or the front door. Other then that it was a great stay.

Great vacation

The condo was great.. one great bonus was the reserved parking right next to the elevators, just for 701... the only problem we had was checkout was 10:00 am and the cleaning crew decided to clean the elevators at 9:30 am when everybody was trying to checkout... we ended up having to take the stairs down to our car..

Horrible conditions!

This condo was a huge disappointment and we had nothing but problems with it. The outdoor furniture had holes in the cushions, the toaster oven would not turn off unless unplugged, the couch was worn out and lumpy, as was the master bed! We actually slept in the guest room the whole time after the first night. The curtain fell down in master bedroom. There was not a blowdryer or any additional supplies at all. A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!!!

Property was very clean when we arrived and kitchen had every appliance needed and had efficient utensils/pots and pans/bakeware. Pool was never crowded so kids enjoyed that. Spacious bathrooms and bedrooms. My only complaint is trash room is close by and garbage truck runs everyday EARLY but nothing owner can do about that and it’s better than having stinky garbage. Will definitely stay here again.

Overall Good

Place was very nice. I did not see any replacement garbage bags. One bag for 5 days was not acceptable. It would have been better to throw away the one beach chair in the laundry room then to leave it as an option. It's rusty and rickety. The dishwasher needs to be secured. It tips down when loading the top shelf. Other than those things it was a nice place to stay.
