“Amazing stay at Rachel & Jason’s! Stunning views and even dolphins could be seen from the balcony. Just a short, easy walk to the beach. Loved it!” – Camilo, Oct 2025

* Parking is $20 a day for the first 3 days, free for the next 4, and just $5 a day after that. It’s a nice little perk if you’re planning a longer stay ($60 total for snowbirds)!

Very positive stay at Crystal Tower. The host was always available if needed. Property was clean and comfortable. My only concern, and it's not a big one, is that the mattress on the sofa sleeper could be replaced. I know they are not the most comfortable, but it was very thin and absolutely no cushioning whatsoever. Other than that one little thing, our stay was very positive.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a positive stay, found the condo clean and comfortable, and appreciated our responsiveness throughout your visit. We also appreciate your feedback about the sofa sleeper mattress. Those mattresses are never quite as comfortable as a traditional bed, but your comments are helpful, and we’ll definitely take a closer look to see if it’s time for an upgrade or additional cushioning. Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love the opportunity to host you again on your next trip to Gulf Shores!

About the host

Hosted by Jason Duling

Host profile image
From the moment you arrive, the Gulf has a way of slowing life down. Step off the elevator and take in sweeping views of turquoise water, sugar-white sand, and unforgettable sunsets from your private 16th-floor retreat. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the balcony at sunrise or winding down after a day at the beach, this is the kind of place that keeps guests coming back year after year.

Crystal Tower offers the feel of a true beach resort — complete with three pools, two hot tubs, a sauna, fitness center, and the convenience of a covered skywalk to the beach. Spend your days relaxing by the water, exploring Gulf Shores, or simply soaking in the view from above it all.

Why they chose this property

This condo has a bird's eye view of both the turquoise waters, beach and Little Lagoon. It's within walking distance to a handful of restaurants and coffee shops and a 2 minute drive to everything Gulf Shores - The Hangout, souvenirs, ice cream - your name it!

"Loved the porch and view from the patio. Nice to have a large pool and be close to the beach." - Ann, June 2025

"Our family had a great experience at Rachel’s Gulf Shores condo. The location was awesome, the condo was exactly as pictured and had all the amenities we needed. Views were surprisingly great also despite being across the street so we felt like we were right there on the beach. The footbridge made getting to the pool and beach so easy. We loved it and hope to stay again soon!!" - Christen, May 2025

"The entire atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. Besides the gorgeous view the actual condo was spotless when we arrived. After three days of a festival I knew I was coming back to a quiet and relaxing environment. I would recommend this place to anyone!" - Robert, May 2025

What makes this property unique

What truly sets this property apart are the views in every direction. From the balcony, you’ll enjoy panoramic Gulf views with emerald water and sugar-white sand stretching for miles. Step to the opposite side of the property and you’re greeted with the peaceful beauty of Little Lagoon — the perfect backdrop for sunsets and quiet evenings above the coast. It’s rare to find both beach and lagoon views in one location, and they are simply unforgettable.

Crystal Tower is one of Gulf Shores’ most recognizable resort destinations, connected to the beach by its iconic blue skywalk — giving you direct beach access without ever crossing traffic. Guests enjoy a true resort-style experience with three pools, two hot tubs, a sauna, fitness center, and on-site security. Whether you’re escaping winter or planning a summer getaway, this is the kind of place that turns a beach trip into a tradition.
