About this property

JUST STEPS TO THE BEACH! THIRD floor makes it feel like you are on the beach!

How and where do we start to describe to guests about what they can expect at this coastal beach condo in the heart of Gulf Shores? First of all, you will enjoy terrific ocean views from the large corner balcony. Our condo is well positioned to have both a great view of the beach as well as the beautiful blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The balcony is perfectly positioned and perfect for night sky star gazing and daytime dolphin spotting.

Another plus about this unit is that it is on the third floor, just one floor above the second floor parking deck. If you don't want to have to use the elevator you just have one flight of stairs and you are there.

The condo is comfortably furnished and flooded with natural light from the east facing wall of windows. The bedrooms are a split design with each having an attached bathroom. The main bedroom has a king size bed and opens on to the balcony and that gorgeous view of the Gulf of Mexico. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a table with 4 chairs and there are even more stools for additional seating.

Building amenities include a weight/exercise room with recently purchased equipment, a family game room with pool table, sauna, and indoor and outdoor pool with hot tub.

We also own Crystal Shores #802. VRBO 3129539 and Lighthouse #414 VRBO 4318814

Loved the beach. But it was so very windy! There wasn't anything to do for people without kids to do. Kids games and rides. Nothing for couples to do but eat and surf shops!!!

We loved our stay at your condo. The space was exactly as listed, and the views from the living room and master bedroom were spectacular. The unit was the perfect size for our family of four, and we appreciated the full kitchen, laundry room, and your professional communication.While the floors were slightly sandy upon arrival, we had a wonderful stay and would return.

Here is a warm, balanced review you can copy, paste, or tweak for your stay:---**5/5 Stars – Incredible Views & Host!**We had such a wonderful stay at Crystal Shores! The location is absolutely unbeatable. You are literally just steps from the ocean water, and the view from the condo is completely gorgeous. Waking up to the sights and sounds of the Gulf every morning was easily the highlight of our trip.On top of the stunning location, our host was fantastic. Communication was top-notch from start to finish; she was incredibly responsive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed for a seamless, stress-free vacation.We couldn't have asked for a better beach getaway. Highly recommend staying here, and we'd love to come back!

Thank you for the great review of our condo. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. We love Crystal Shores too and think the location is unbeatable as well. It's not too far back off of the coastline and not too close either. Allows for the best possible views of the gulf. We would love to host you again if you come back to the area.

The condo was sparkling clean, beautiful, and better than we expected. Clean, bright, excellent furnishings. The porch couch and chairs were perfect to watch the beach activity and gulf. Smart televison worked great. It is right on the beach and the view is spectacular. Parking is very convenient and restaurants and bars are within walking distance.
