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.

This couple friendly, two-bedroom condo is perfect for those craving a beach getaway. Book your Crystal Shores condo now, and let the relaxing commence!

Location is great...but

The 2nd bedroom bed is not comfortable at all. The couch is not the same in picture and very uncomfortable. This host doesnt allow early check in not even 30 minutes. The location is great.

Great Condo but… FEES Excessive!

We have been going to Gulf Shores for 25 years and this condo was great. The furniture is not as pictured or represented. I will say that the VRBO fees are getting outrageous, we were also charged a fee through Vacasa, do not use this company. When the fees and taxes are almost as much as the rental it’s time to find an alternative.

Not the Best but far from the worst

I found it average. Whomever responsible don't pay attention to detail. There was a musty smell as we entered which was not a good impression after fighting the tech of the lock to get in. Took us awhile but we finally got in. The clock on the wall had a dead battery which I replaced. We planned on using the kitchen and the Hot Tub on the property as well. Didn't have kitchen towels so I had to purchase some. Also while reading material left there for us we learned we needed our own towels for pool or Hot Tub. This information could have been with the property listing. That is why I gave it and average rating.

Needs a good deep cleaning, if you went without shoes your feet were black within minutes, couch was so worn and cushions practically flat, washing machine and dryer were difficult to use because of sliding door, also the bottom of sliding doors have been wet and are falling apart leaving cardboard material in floor, also, in the laundry area a liquor cardoard box is covering what I assume is a vent . Only 4 bath towels, wash clothes. Had to wash them everyday after a family of 4 bathed. Light bulbs out in multiple places(master bath, above kitchen sink and oven light). For the amount of money it cost to rent a condo my family and I were disappointed.

The Ideal Place for the Beach

This was the first time I booked this location. It was clean and presentable. We loved the close beach access and the view from the balcony was better than I could have imagined. That being said, more sheets and pillow cases would have been nice, as well more towels in the kitchen as well as the bathroom. We had three adults in our party and we barely had just enough bath towels for the two bath rooms. Especially since we had to use some of the wash cloths and hand towels for the kitchen as there was only one kitchen towel and one sponge for the kitchen. Despite that I would still book this location again. We had a great time and are looking forward our next visit.

Location nice description needs updating

Nice location however some things need improvement. First change pictures as the furniture depicted in your living room isn’t accurate- we even questioned prior to leaving and was told it was the same as pictures- it wasn’t. Kitchen faucet literally moves and needs repaired. We reached out first thing Sunday to notify you of such. We were told it would be repaired. No one reached out to us and we checked out today. It still remains broken. There were four bath towels in the entire condo. I thought that was a bit ridiculous. And you need to have it cleaned better. Our feet were black the very first day from walking around on the floor. Just some simple repairs and common courtesy of follow-through would be great. Your location was excellent, and the beach was enjoyed.

Great stay

We loved the beach views and ease to the beach. The condo was very clean and was nice! The beds were both comfortable. The only room for improvement would be the main bedroom toilet had some issues flushing but would eventually flush and the couch wasn't the most comfortable. We would definitely book again!
