My wife and I had an excellent time staying at David’s place! The condo was amazing, and by far the most accurate place we’ve stayed according to the pictures. Everything was comfortable, which was nice since we spent a fair amount of time inside due to the weather. We enjoyed the balcony especially, even though the building is set farther back from the beach, it’s the best view we’ve ever had. Next time we’re in town for vacation, David’s place is #1 on our list to stay!

An excellent stay, in a beautiful, very clean condo. Double balconies on this corner unit make the experience for two couple perfect along with the comfortable king sized beds. Conveniently located across the street from the beach by way of a nice bridge. Access to two pool, clean gym and sauna. Host was most responsive and accommodating. Book this property!

This is a beautiful unit with an incredible view of both the gulf and the back lagoon. Booking and check-in was smooth and convenient. We had no issues with elevators - there are three so one was always promptly available. Unit was quiet and exceptionally clean. Sipping coffee each morning while watching dolphins from the balcony was a highlight!

What an amazing time we had in Gulf Shores! Amazing hosts that were very responsive to messages. Their condo was immaculate and had breath taking views. Honestly, we were happy just chilling on the balcony. We watched fireworks from the balcony and it was so relaxing!You do not need to cross the street to get to the pool/beach. There is a sky walk that is a couple minutes away. I will definitely recommend this condo to my friends and family and we would stay here again. Perfect for a family of 4 or 2 couples. Until nest time!!

Property is located in a perfect location. The view from both balconies is spectacular. Sunrise view is perfect for an early morning coffee. Sunset on the rear balcony, with a view of the lagoon, is an ideal choice for a glass of wine. Parking and unloading your luggage is a breeze.

This condo's decor was only topped by the spectacular views of the gulf. It was immaculately clean (I have very high standards as an RN). I wish we could have stayed longer! The property's amenities were great for families. We will be back!!

This property was a beautiful unit! Conveniently located across the street from the Gulf of Mexico with access to pools in between makes it even more attractive. Chairs and umbrellas to rent was right at the beach. There were plenty of towels in each bathroom. We did not use anything in the kitchen but it was stocked with the essentials. A wonderful property to rent with quick responses from the owners. They did not have covered parking but it was right there at the building.

About the host
Hosted by David Carmichael
I retired from the Commercial Property & Casualty Insurance Industry in 2016 and moved to Gulf Shores - a nearly life long dream come true. When I sold my home I invested first in Crystal Tower 1701 (VRBO 1183472) then Seacrest 901 (VRBO 1323351) then Crystal Shores 1001 (VRBO 1489724). All three properties are located within a half mile of each other on West Beach Blvd. I have totally remodeled and updated all three properties and I personally manage, clean and maintain them and reside only 5 miles away on Fort Morgan Road.
Why they chose this property
In my opinion no other condo in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach compares with Crystal Tower. With the two outdoor pools and hot tubs, one indoor pool, a sauna and two fitness rooms then coupled with the view from my 17th floor newly remodeled east end unit with two king suites each with its own private bath as well as private balcony. I couldn’t have ever found anything nicer and I are sure you will agree.
What makes this property unique
Owner managed, cleaned and maintained with beautiful views you will never forget.
