This was our first time to the Gulf Shores, and I’m glad we chose this condo. Our host was wonderful. Very welcoming. Everything in the condo was set up perfectly like a five star hotel. I wish the weather had been warmer, but everyone is experiencing this cold front. At least we had a beautiful Gulf view to enjoy from the balcony.

Our first Gulf Shores Ala experience

We had a fantastic vacation at The Chrystal Shores condo # 1303.Our host Tana Owen went above and beyond to make sure we had everything that we needed.The condo was very impressive and completely stocked...just bring your clothes and food and turn key..Very quiet place and you never knew there were other people staying there unless you seen them at the beach or pool etc. I highly recommend Tana and we always have very good luck with VRBO.

Love this condo!

My husband and I have always liked the location of Crystal Shores. This condo was the best yet. It was clean and had nice upgrades. The king size bed was comfortable and the new living room furniture was excellent, the best we have encountered over the last 10 years. We will definitely return!

I enjoyed it immensely. The place was clean, well organized and very comfortable. We liked sitting on the balcony with coffee and watching the dolphins. We even say a manatee. The weather was perfect, beach clean. We really liked the Surf's Up dolphin tour and West Beach Coffee. I would definitely stay again.

First time to Gulf Shores

Gulf shores is so much different than most beachfront areas we’ve visited. Luckily we had a car, because there aren’t any beach bars/restaurants in walking distance. With that said, we were able to stock up at the Publix and Walmart and rarely needed to leave this beautiful property. We didn’t need to purchase any beach toys either, as there’s an area by the storage that visitors leave theirs behind. We loved the balcony. We had breakfast and lunch out there and spotted dolphins daily. This condo is an absolutely perfect home away from home.
