IMPORTANT FALL 2026 PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT NOTICE

Crystal Shores West will be completing a major breezeway and walkway restoration project this fall to refresh and improve the appearance of the building.

From October 12 through November 8, 2026, the building will remain open and rentals are permitted, but guests should be aware that there may be daytime construction noise, dust, workers, and temporary inconvenience in the breezeway areas.

The building will then be completely closed from November 9 through November 22, 2026, while the final coating work is completed and allowed to cure. We have blocked those dates and are not accepting reservations during the closure.

Once completed, the newly resurfaced breezeways and walkways should provide a cleaner, refreshed appearance and help keep Crystal Shores West looking great for years to come.

Please contact us before booking if you have any questions about how the work may affect your stay.

This condo was perfect! Our host Michelle was accommodating & gracious when we had hiccup in our booking, The condo’s view of the golf was breathtaking. I liked the fact we were only 4 stories up. The condo was clean & had everything you need. My husband had a question & called Michelle & she immediately not only answered what he was looking for but went above & beyond & had extra delivered to the condo within 2 hours going above & beyond what was needed. Definitely will rebook with Michelle on our next trip back to Gulf Shores.

The condo was clean and spacious. The large balcony with three rocking chairs looking across the ocean was my favorite! It obtain a large table and extra chairs on it as well. It was a great place to enjoy coffee while watching the dolphins, reading a book, or even enough room for some yoga. I loved the consideration of the host regarding items you might forget and need such as beach items, coffee, spices, and even pull-ups for children, etc. Overall, I give it an A and will definitely be back, God willing:)

Our stay at the condo was wonderful. We loved the condo location and how close it was to the beach! All the rooms were clean and so comfortable! We really enjoyed being able to go to the beach and then mid-day come back to the condo for a quick lunch then back to the beach! Sitting on the balcony in the morning and evening was so relaxing. Wonderful place and we will definitely go back!

We had an absolutely magical weekend at this charming beach place. The space was spotless, cozy, and perfectly stocked with everything we needed—from fresh linens to a fully equipped kitchen. Nestled in a peaceful condominium that felt like our own private retreat, yet just minutes from events, water sports, local eateries, etc. Also, security staff on the property are very friendly. We’ll definitely be back—10/10 recommend for a relaxing getaway!

About the host

Host profile image

What makes this property unique

This condo is at the perfect level to view the beach from the balcony. It is low enough to take the stairs if the elevators are crowded - if you park on the third level, it's only two flights up. There is no carpet in this condo; it is all luxury vinyl plank. This makes it easy to clean and it a great floor for people with allergies or asthma. The beach is literally just steps from the elevator; there is no long boardwalk or crowded pool area to walk through to get to the beach.
