Great view
Has a great view of the ocean. Makes it great to keep an eye on the teenagers on the beach. Easy to get to and from the beach. We enjoyed our family time.
The location is right on the beach and it was very easy to access the beach. The room is very spacious and comfortable with great views of the gulf. The AC works well and the water in the shower was nice and strong. The location is close to several restaurants and shops, probably not walking distance, but a short drive.

Stop looking!
This place is perfect in every way. Great value and right on the beach with a wonderful view. We'll be back!
This was my kids and I first time to see the ocean. The view from the balcony was amazing. Listening to the waves. The condo was amazing it was clean and beautiful. It had everything we needed. Love the showers water pressure. We would stay here again in a heart beat. Can wait till we come back. Also if you watch sunrises you may catch dolphins swimming while sitting on the balcony.
Check in process is super easy but overall if your looking for a somewhat cheap stay then this is the place… beds are messed up in both rooms, good luck being able to see in the showers not to mention the curtains like to stick to you.. don't forget to bring your own scissors because they’re non existent here.The floors are dirty and lost a pack of socks due to not wanting to walk barefoot in the condo

My stay overall was great because of the balcony. I was disappointed with the unit itself. The ice maker didn’t work, I had an issue with the toilet and tub that was reported on Sunday and no one came out until Wednesday and the balcony appears to have mold. I loved the location of this condo it was close to everything and the view was amazing. I would not stay in this unit in the future and would use a different rental company than Vacasa because there is no one local to speak with. We rented a two bedroom two bath and could not use one of the bathrooms for 5 days. I had to threaten to call my credit card company to get a response.

Would not rent from Vacasa Again
Could not get help or response on check in day. Condo full of pot smell on entry. Fire extinguisher would not stop even with new battery. Ice maker broken. Hole in tub. Hole in painting. Door lock mechanism to condo horrible to figure out. 2nd day fire alarm reconnected. Still went off throughout week due to wind or smell from neighbors. Left day early. A one day refund for first 24 hours and pot smell would have been the right business decision. No compensation offered. We have rented in this building for years. Never had the experience Vacasa created.

Very disappointed!!
I received a text from you at 12:45 on checkin day telling me our condo was ready and we could check in early! When we got there we could not get in! We sent you a text and a copy of the text you had sent but then you said we couldn’t check in until 4! So there we are with suitcases all over the hall and it’s about a 100 degrees but we waited until four! Then our code that you sent didn’t even work! You finally sent a maintenance man and he got us in and gave us his code! He said the code you sent us was not even a good code. Then the code you gave us to get to the beach didn’t work! We were not happy!!!

When we first got there we were supposed to be able to get in at 4 o’clock the code would not work it took an extra 30 minutes we were sitting in the hallway I’m waiting until I could get a hold of someone. The elevators went down two of the seven days we stay there. Never found the parking spot no one ever told me where they were located the reserved ones. First floor is actually the fourth floor. There’s no remote in the dining room to change the TV so had to take the one out of the bedroom. The pool is very inconvenient being off to the side of the building.
I came to the condo thinking I was on the first floor the elevators were always broken and my family of five was having to walk up four flights of steps just to get to the room. Definitely was not worth the money and do not recommend it

Family vac
Disappointed that the washing machine did not work and we had to go to the laundromat, which was not convenient. When I contacted the vacasa they mentioned a refund for not having it, but I have not heard anything back about that.
THIS REVIEW WAS MEANT FOR YOU, NOT FOR YOUR ADVERTISEMENT.
The overall stay was fine but there were issues. We were able to adapt since it was just the two of us.
There was only 1 bed covering to keep us warm at night and it was a queen size for a king size bed. The other bed covering beside the sheet was like a table cloth. The bed mattress in the main bedroom needs to be replaced. On the beach side, I felt like I was sliding off onto the floor. On the other side my wife felt like she was sleeping on wooden slats. It was very hard.
The advertisement showed 2 tables on the balcony but only 1 tall table with 4 chairs was actually there.
Despite reviews that said the ice machine didn’t work, it worked great for us.

Another great stay
We stayed in the unit last year and absolutely loved it so much we booked the same room for our trip this month. We love Gulf Shores and Crystal Shores West. We visited for my youngest son's baseball World Series and our entire team booked rooms at Crystal Shores West. The room was clean and fully stocked with all the essentials and clean! Many of the folks in our group had not visited Gulf Shores but they all said they couldn't wait to go back already.
This condo had everything we needed from location and convenience to cooking, laundry, and views. It was spacious enough for the four of us and our things to stay comfortably for the 4 days we were there. Our favorite part was the balcony and the large chairs. Least favorite was the parking and long lines for the elevator.
When we arrived we did not know where to partk -- inside garage or outside so we called number on frig and left a message. No one ever called back. Another resident told about the parking. The condo was not clean Everytime we walked barefoot on the tile floor, our feet were black. There were dirty q tips on the floor in the master bedroom. The furniture was from the 80's and was scratched all to pieces. For the money we paid -- very disappointed. In fact left two days early..........The pics on the internet were very misleading.....
Great condo in a great location and access to many amenities! The only issue was we were given the wrong codes to access the pool and wasn’t given any code to access the beach, so we had to ask by standers for the code. It was no issue calling for the correct pool code, though. Still an amazing place to stay, we’ll be staying here for our vacations in gulf shores.
Everything was dirty and sticky. Not humid sticky, dirty sticky. Sheets didn't fit any of the beds and were constantly falling off. There were adult items left in a drawer that were absolutely disgusting. Management service called, left message, and I called them back with no return call. Dish washer barely washed the dishes and all had to be done by hand.
