The condo was excellent; clean and comfortable. The only thinkg I would suggest is at least 1 additional roll of toilet paper for each bathroom, an additional roll of paper towel, and hangers (I purchased some hangers and left them there. I also ourchased and left a bottle of Dawn Dish soap as the one that was provided was pretty worthless. That being said, we had a great time in this comfortable condo!

My family and I recently made our first trip to Gulf Shores for the 4th of July weekend. I have to give high praise to Jonathan, our host, who was extremely professional, proactive, and accommodating before, during, and after our stay. The check-in, parking setup, and entry into the building went off without any issues. When we arrived, wristbands for pool and beach access were waiting, and the rental was clean and ready. The easy pool and beach access included with the rental was a highlight that will definitely make this our preferred location for next year's trip. We were able to Instacart groceries easily from the nearby market to get any essentials and snacks we needed, and the nearby restaurants were friendly with good food and service. We particularly enjoyed Bahama Bob's, The Hangout, The Catch, and Janino's Pizza. From the balcony, we had an awesome view of the 4th of July fireworks. The elevators were a little crowded, but that's to be expected on a busy holiday weekend; we just used the stairs and got some extra steps in. As I said, it was our first time in Gulf Shores, but it will not be our last. Hopefully we can get the same rental next year.

Great family vacation!

We had a wonderful time at Crystal Towers (501)! Very clean and kept up very well. This end unit had beautiful light & views. The furniture on the balcony was great quality, and the master bed was incredibly comfortable! Easy to get to beach quick and large pool. Great communication with the renter also! Would totally recommend!

Amazing condo and amenities

Wow, we were absolutely thrilled with our condo and stay at Crystal Towers. From the pre-check in information from Jonathan to the checkout we had a great experience. The condo was so clean and had plenty of space and all the things we needed, plus extras like beach items and games. The balconies were great and the property and pools were well maintained. Jonathan also made sure we had any updates we needed for the gate codes and such. It was a great stay and the location is perfect! We are already talking about our next trip there!

Awesome Condo

We had a great time at Crystal Tower. The pools are great! It was nice having a large parking area for a change, and the walkway over the road was so handy. This place is better than most beachfront condos because of all the amenities and the big parking lot, and still have the big pool right there at the beach access. Jonathan was a great host, and was very helpful with any questions we had. Can't wait to come back.

Fantastic Stay

I really enjoyed staying in this condo. I've stayed at others in Crystal Tower before, but this one was the best experience. It was so clean, and Jonathan was fantastic to work with. He answered all of my questions and checked in on me to make sure everything was going well. I also love the layout of this corner unit. It feels so much bigger than the others I've stayed in before. I would give it 10 stars if I could! I will definitely be back.

Clean and Comfy

This was our first time to Gulf Shores and we had the best time. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay. This condo was clean, it felt very home like, and the pools were a hit with everyone in our group. Not having to stop at a desk and check in was great. We pulled in, loaded up a cart, went to the condo, and we were done. Our parking pass was waiting on us on the counter, along with some coffee and snacks. I am so glad we found this condo, as we plan to come back next year. Thanks Jonathan!
