We were impressed with the corner condo and the great view of the beach from the balcony. We found the condo provided all our needs and was well maintained. Although we did not use the pool, we did enjoy the hot tub.

Great condo with beautiful views!

We were a party of 4, two couples. The condo was very clean and nicely decorated. Each couple basically had their own master suit which was wonderful privacy wise. The furniture was very comfortable, especially the living room couch. We very much enjoyed the balcony where we took meals and had drinks while enjoying the wonderful view! Accessing the beach and pool was very easy as well as convenient. The same went for the check in and out process! We would highly recommend this condo! Thank you so much!!

We could not have been happier with this condominium. It made our vacation outstanding! Absolutely beautiful! Every detail perfected. Nothing overlooked. The view on the 17th floor is amazing!

As we live only 5 hours away, over the years we've stayed at over 20 different locations from Destin to Fort Morgan. This rental is by far the cleanest and most tastefully decorated we've ever stayed in.

Amazing Condo!

My husband and I spent the month of November 2024 at this condo and it was pure paradise! The views from every room were amazing. Due to the upscale furnishings, it did not seem like a rental. It was as comfortable as our own home. The owners were easy to work with and answered my many questions very promptly. The location was perfect as it was close to everything you would need. Don't hesitate to rent this condo.

About the host

Hosted by David and Angie Carmichael

Host profile image
Angie and I retired in 2016 and moved to Gulf Shores. When we sold our home we invested in Crystal Tower 1701 (VRBO 1183472) and totally remodeled the unit. In addition to Crystal Tower 1701 we also own Seacrest 901 (VRBO 1323351) which is a two bedroom two bathroom east end corner Penthouse situated directly on the beach about two tenth of one mile West of Crystal Tower as well as Crystal Shores 1001 (VRBO 1489724) which is located at 921 W Beach Blvd and is also a 2 Bedroom 2 Bath east end condo. We manage and maintain this unit as well as Seacrest 901 and Crystal Tower 1701. When not rented to guests we occupy all these units thus enabling us to keep the property updated and pristine as it is our residence as well as a vacation rental to guests.

Why they chose this property

In our opinion no other condo in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach compares with Crystal Tower. With the two outdoor pools and hot tubs, one indoor pool, a sauna and two fitness rooms then coupled with the view from our 17th floor newly remodeled east end unit with two king suites each with its own private bath as well as private balcony. We couldn’t have ever found anything nicer and we are sure you will agree.

What makes this property unique

Owner managed and maintained with beautiful views you will never forget.
