We had a great view of the water and the beach. The condo was clean and plenty of room for 4 people. Easy walking distance to restaurants. The pool and hot tub are smaller, but it wasn't crowded and we had easy beach access. The appliances all worked well and were new. There were plenty of clean towels, sheets, and blankets. Highly recommend this place!

First of all the view is spectacular with a large balcony. I saw dolphins playing, and there were people parasailing. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and soaking in the hot tub and the elevators were super fast. We would love to stay there again.

Had another wonderful stay at Crystal Shores! This is the perfect location to be close to all the things to do, but far enough away from all the crowds. This is the perfect location and has direct beach access (and it’s not crowded since it’s a private area). The view of the gulf is great and there are no issues with parking (this unit doesn’t have a reserved space which I was a little concerned about, but there we no issues and plenty of parking)! Very nice workout room and sauna. The condo was clean and has so many nice amenities; washer & dryer, fridge with ice maker was a huge plus for us, utensils, pots, pans, a wine opener ;) We had to contact the host for a couple of minor things, but he responded very quickly and helped us out right away. Already looking forward to our next trip back!

Wonderful stay

We had such a great time here! The location was great, the beach in front of this condo isn’t jam packed like other areas and the amenities kept our teens busy. The owners respond quickly and are very helpful should you need it. The condo was clean including the furnishings. We would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by David Hesterberg

Host profile image
Tammy and Dave have traveled to Gulf Shores and the surrounding areas along the gulf coast for decades. We ultimately decided to buy and share our place in Gulf Shores. We feel this area offers the best balance of beach vacation and family friendly amenities, and plenty of options to keep our guests entertained when wanting to do something more than hit the surf.

Why they chose this property

Crystal Shores is a beachfront, mid-sized building. It offers instant beach access, and is easy walking distance too the center of Gulf Shores. It's big enough to offer amenities such as a pool and workout facility, sauna etc., and small enough not to be overwhelming and overcrowded. It's "right sized"!

What makes this property unique

The condo is walking distance to the center of Gulf Shores including the HangOut and Bahama Bob's and is steps away from Pier33 convenient store, Wave's convenience and liquor store, and Janino's pizza. Everything is easy access!
