Corner Gulf/beachfront condo with pool, hot tub, sauna, & private balcony

Crystal Shores 501

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

When you arrive at your Crystal Shores condo in Gulf Shores, put down your bags, change into your swimsuit and head out to the beautiful white-sand beach. A wooden boardwalk makes accessing the shore easy, and because the condo is Gulf front, you won't have to go very far to start building that sandcastle, take a dip in the emerald-green waters of the Gulf, or just spread out a blanket, pop up a beach umbrella and start relaxing! There are also wooden loungers and umbrellas available for rent during your stay.

While you're downstairs, enjoy the outdoor/indoor swim-through pool, outdoor hot tub, on-site sauna, exercise room, game room and exercise facility.

In your comfortable condo, you'll love the view from your private balcony. Sit outside and relax while reading a good book, catching up on the day's news, or just gazing out at the horizon watching for dolphins to surface as they swim near the shore. Your Crystal Shores balcony is a great place to watch the sunset every night of your stay. Watch the bright moon rise in the night sky. Can you see the constellations? Pick out the Big Dipper? Orion? Show the kids how beautiful the stars are at the beach and away from the lights back home. It's not unusual to see falling stars streak across the night sky from time to time.

Whether you need to sleep two people or as many as six, Crystal Shores' two-bedroom condos are perfect for those craving a beach getaway. Book your Crystal Shores condo now, and let the relaxing commence!

Great place to stay!

This place was great! The condo is on the corner so you only have 1 neighbor and you have a great view. The beds were really comfortable and the whole condo was very clean when we got there. The beach out front is pretty nice, it's really just for the condos and access is granted with a little fob you get when you arrive. Looking forward to coming back next time!

501 Crystal Shores

Loved that the condo was an end unit with wraparound balcony. Spent days & nights on the balcony feeling the ocean breezes. Condo was located in a central location, family oriented & not noisy. Only complaint was the it had a very, very small outdoor pool connected to an indoor pool.

Beautiful sunrises to the east and the moon to the west

This condo is beautiful and has all the comforts of home. The wrap around balcony (corner unit) offered a stunning view of the sunrise. There is access to the beach via the key fob activated gate. Sitting on the balcony drinking my cup of coffee in the early morning and listening to the waves was so relaxing. The kitchen is fully stocked. This unit was very clean. The bed was comfortable. Everything was provided that was listed in the agreement.

Would stay again

The condo was very nice and spacious. Great view of the beach. Check-in was very easy. Only downside is the pool is in a shaded area so it was a little chilly if you wanted to lay by the pool.

Beautiful condo and view!

We loved being so close to the beach! The view was beautiful. Every morning we watched the dolphins from the balcony while we ate our breakfast and coffee. It was in a perfect location and close to everything. This would be a great place to stay for a family - or anyone. This condo was welcoming, comfortable, and well equipped and felt like home for the week. My *only* issue was the mattresses on the beds were more firm for our taste - they were good quality, but could definitely use some memory foam toppers to increase comfort. We enjoyed our stay here!

Spring break 2023

501 was a great property. It was on the end of the building so had bonus balcony area. The property is directly across the street from pier33 grocery so it was easy to get the few things we ran out of during our stay. I would stay there again!
