Great spring break trip!

We had a great family spring break trip! The condo was sparkling clean and welcoming on our arrival. It was the perfect size for our family of four with two teenage daughters. It's in a great location and the skywalk makes it easy to get to and from the beach. Owners are easy to communicate with and respond quickly to messages. Highly recommend!

Pool and Sand access

Having the pool and sand option was amazing. My family likes the beach but sometimes needs a pool option and Crystal Towers gives you both options. Rooms were spacious and king size beds were comfortable.

Gulf Shore 2024

We stayed June 15-22! We left this morning. The condo was perfect for our family of 5. It was very clean and well maintained. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and pullout couch bed and even a roll away twin bed! The roll away bed was perfect for our 3 year old! Access to the beach was so nice walking through an air conditioned walkway! Yes it is across the street from the ocean but still has amazing views from the master bedroom and the living room and balcony! Will definitely stay here again!

Wonderful condo & great experience!

This condo is so nicely done with relaxing beach theme decor. Definitely one of the nicest beach condos we have seen. There is a closet full of beach gear including a wagon, pool noodles, floats, etc. Rooms are nice size, kitchen is stocked with dinnerware, elevators were close, only one floor from the walkway to the beach. The staff in the lobby were friendly & knowledgeable, they took pride in Crystal Towers. And if you need a pen to fill out the parking pass, they will have one for you to use. The amenities were clean & well kept. The owners responded to our questions very quickly, check in & out was a breeze. We really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to book the same condo in the future!

Awesome Getaway!

My wife and I and our toddler stayed at this location for several nights. The condo was great - everything was clean and spacious. We enjoyed having 3 different pools on property (especially with a little one). The short walk to the large pool / beach area was quick and easy. We will definitely think about coming again!

July 2023 stay

We loved this condo and working with Brad and Jennifer. Our only complaint was that the floors were dirty upon arrival. It was clear that they had not been properly cleaned in several turn overs as we ended up swiffering the floors to try and get some of the dirt up. We let Brad know and he was immediately responsive and had the cleaning crew come out ASAP to reclean. After their departure the floors were pristine and our feet were no longer black. As for everything else it was the perfect property for our family of 5 ti enjoy Gulf Shores.

Great place to stay!

My family enjoyed our stay here for the week. Condo was great, owners were super helpful and awesome to communicate with. The complex is very family friendly! The condo had everything we needed for the week, spacious and nicely decorated. Only downfall for us was the handicap access to the beach. Having a paraplegic daughter in a wheelchair it was very challenging getting to the beach even with a power beach chair. Crystal Towers does not have an access ramp to get onto the beach. We were told we could use the neighboring complexes (Legacy) ramp, but that access is thru their parking deck where cars park and block the entry so we had to go down the street to another access and make it work. Just keep that in mind if handicap access is a must as in our case. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend to others!
