Cruise ship or condo? It's hard to tell from the view! Step out on the 20th floor balcony of this Crystal Tower penthouse and take in the magnificent ocean and western view. Or soak up the lagoon and west end view from the rear bedroom balcony. Relax in one of the lounge chairs, or enjoy your morning coffee at an outdoor dining table at # 2009.
Pool, beach club or ocean? It's hard to make a decision! For a quick dip, you will find the indoor pool, outdoor pool, and hot tub adjacent to the lobby. Take the air-conditioned walkway over West Beach Boulevard and you will find the largest pool in Gulf Shores. Drift through the lazy river, or lounge in one of the many chairs provided. Restroom facilities and showers are also available.

The condo was exactly as described. The view was incredible and the pools and location were fabulous. We had a great time and had everything we needed and then some!
We had a great stay at this property. Condo is on the top floor at the end so the views from three sides of it were breathtaking!! Location is great and the pools were fantastic. Short walk across the street to the beach made it even better. We will definitely come back and stay here again!
This is our second trip to Crystal towers, but our first stay in 2009. It was very clean, and the views were outstanding! I would definitely book another vacation here!

Property was very clean. Loved the digital check in and out
Condo and owners couldn't have been better. My only complaint is the beach inferno of the property is very dirt because there isn't much sand there and water backs up, leaving a sanding stream of water you have to walk through.
We love Crystal Tower. 2009 is our favorite. Ron was great to work with. Property was very nice and clean. I would definitely stay here again when coming back to Gulf Shores.
Everything was just as beautiful as described in the condo and the views are amazing. The owners of the condo went above and beyond in making sure we had all the details we needed to ensure a great visit including a personalized anniversary message for us. We will definitely be working with them again when visiting Gulf Shores!

Beautiful Condo
Loved this condo. Me and my family did not want to leave. The views from it was beautiful. Especially the sun sets. Thanks Ron for everything the condo was great . Really felt like we were at home with an ocean view. Love this place. Thanks Steven B.
The property is actually more beautiful than it looks in pics. The view from balcony plus the abundance of balcony furniture make it a perfect place to drink wine and listen to waves. My only recommendation would be for a bit more comfortable bed and pillows. We will be back to 2009 again.

Best view in Gulf Shores
I was very impressed with the condo and knew right away that I'd book a stay here again! Very homey feel and beautiful furnishings! Ron has everything you need for your stay in Gulf Shores. There are beach toys and chairs, and all the pots, pans, and utensils you need if you plan to have a dine in meal. King sized beds in both bedrooms which we fully enjoyed. And the view is really the most amazing view in the area. Crystal Towers rises high above other surrounding buildings so you have an unobstructed view of the Gulf and there is a balcony in the 2nd bedroom overlooking the lagoon. The breeze blowing in is amazing with the balcony being opened on the front and right side of you. I could sit in those wicker gliders for hours and enjoy it!! The walk to the beach in the covered walkway is so convenient and the beach is literally just a few steps off the pool area. We had so much fun this year on our visit to the beach and I contribute a lot of it to having such nice surroundings and accommodations in Ron's penthouse condo! We will be back!
I highly recommend this property! The condo was very spacious, very clean, and had very thoughtful details placed throughout, not to mention a breathtaking view. I will be going back!
Great condo with a beautiful view! The check-in process is super simple and Ron is always great with communication. We loved our stay and hope to return soon.
Ron was a great host to communicate with. We really enjoyed being on the top floor of this building with almost 360 degree views off two balconies. The extra beach toy closet was a nice surprise so make sure you look in there before you run off to a souvenir store to buy anything. We will definitely be staying here again for years to come.
What a great condo! We have stayed in many condos over the years, but Crystal Tower 2009 was one of our favorites. As it is a top floor corner unit, the view is amazing. The condo was extremely well-stocked and exceptionally clean. Ron was also a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be back!
This was a great condo. Working with Ron was also great. My favorite was the beach closet.
This was a perfect condo for vacay. The only thing you need to bring is extra toilet paper if your staying more than 2 nights. There is no extra rolls. But this was no big deal bc everything else was great!!!
The condo was perfect, the views were amazing from both the beachside and the lagoon side. We spent our time between the pools and the beach and both of them were great to be at. We will definitely be coming back.

About the host
Hosted by Peggy Harris
I am a project manager currently residing in Atlanta with hopes of moving to Gulf Shores, which is why we bought the condo. This is our second home and not just an investment and you will be able to tell it by the condition of the condo.
Why they chose this property
The amenities in Crystal Tower are superb, and the property is extremely well-maintained. The fact that it was built in 2006 and has the most up to date construction features is another plus. The location is perfect, and the pools and hot tubs are some of the nicest on the beach. The on-site management and security is an additional amenity not found at many other condominiums. AND... the view from this west end unit is the best on the beach!
What makes this property unique
The closest thing to resort style living in Gulf Shores. There are three pools, one indoor and two outdoor, one of which is the largest pool in Gulf Shores. There are two hot tubs, a nicely equipped fitness room, and private access to the beach. The balconies are extra large, there are a full-size washer and dryer right in the unit, and the on-site management is there to offer assistance.
