First time to Gulf Shores. Loved this place, everything was exactly as listed. Clean, super comfy beds, gorgeous view of the beach and easy access to the beach. No wait for elevator ever which is a huge plus. No noise, peaceful, pretty much amazing.Close to everything you need. Only downside, we wish it had a smart TV for rainy days to stream your own services. Overall 10/10 would recommend and will be back!

Property was nice. If I am honest, it needed some cleaning in the bathroom. Dirt in the corners, some molding needed painting. But it was a nice stay overall

Clean, good location

Good location, right on the water. Wish there were more rinse off stations coming off the beach. Would possibly stay there again, we just like to try out other places. We did have a little deal with a couple maintenance workers but got it worked out.

Great location and place was clean and comfortable. Beach is amazing. 1201 could use some updates as the TV is not HD and the master bed frame is creaky. Still a 4 star rating.

Beautiful views, clean, and well stocked.

We really loved our stay at Crystal Shores 1201. The condo was clean, comfy, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we could need to cook with. The view to the east was perfect for morning coffee while watching the sun rise. The kids really enjoyed the game room, pool, and ease of access to the beach. Host communication was prompt and responsive. We even received daily texts about what color flag was flying that day. All in all it was a great stay. We would absolutely stay again.
