I’m excited to share our home away from home with you! I personally own and manage this beautifully maintained condo, so you’ll enjoy a more affordable rate than through rental agencies. We also have housekeeping and maintenance teams nearby to ensure your stay is smooth and comfortable.
About the Condo – Unit 103 (Located on the 5th Floor with 4th-Level Parking) Though listed as Unit 103, this condo is actually on the 5th floor, due to the 4 levels of parking below. You’ll have a reserved parking spot on the 4th level, and from there it’s just one flight of stairs to your door—or take the elevator if you prefer. Easy access, convenience, and stunning views await!
Why Crystal Shores West? Built in 2006, Crystal Shores West is an upscale, luxury beachfront complex in the heart of Gulf Shores.

Excellent hostess and property. We absolutely love coming to Gulf Shores and staying at a place like this makes our beach experience perfect! Conveniently located and it was such a nice place to retreat to after a day on the beach. Recommend it highly!
The condo was very clean and the host was easy to reach and very responsive. We had no issues at all with check in or check out. The pool was so nice and warm and the hot tub was hot! It was perfect. The room overlooked the beach. Take some rolls might want some. You don't wanna take any some salad for your lunch. Dad eats it, but he can't eat all that.
The condo was exactly as listed and was the perfect spot for our quick vacation. Karen was wonderful and very easy to work with, keeping in touch with us from the beginning of our booking. It was easy to check in and out. The private beach access was wonderful and easy to get in and out of. The beach was beautiful, the private balcony was large and had exceptional views. Two separate tables to choose from and also two rocker chairs to enjoy the view and relax. The master bedroom has it's own door access onto the balcony, which we slept with our door cracked to sleep to the sounds of the ocean. Our private parking space was very convenient, just one floor below our condo, so very easy to access. Just know that the parking garage is very tight, so be careful when entering, parking and exiting. The kitchen was well stocked for everything that you would need to cook in the condo. It was very convenient to have a washer/dryer and Karen even has two complimentary laundry tabs to use if you need to do a load of laundry, which we did the day before we left. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone wishing to stay on the beach in Gulf Shores. We will definitely be back in the future. Thank you Karen!

Thank you for the wonderful review. You were definitely a 10 Star renter and would love to have you back. Karen
Our stay was perfect. This was the first ever vacation my husband and I had taken alone together in 25 years. This trip was actually our 25 wedding ing anniversary. The views were stunning and being able to hear the water in our condo was priceless. I watched the sun rise every morning and we even sighted Dolphins swimming a few days.The stay was better than expected. We will definitely be back.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review and glad you made it a memorable 25th anniversary! Looking forward to having you stay with me again. Karen
The room was clean. The balcony large. The view of the water was great. A small concern was handled immediately. We had an overall good time and would recommend this unit to others.
Really, really nice overall. Condo has everything you need. Beach is literally steps away. Parking is in the garage. Elevators are pretty quick. On site security. Pool area is really nice. Location of building is really convenient. Communication with owner is easy. Check in and out was simple.
Fantastic stay at Gulf Shores! Communication with Karen was easy and prompt. We had a minor issue during our stay and she handled it quickly. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here in the future for family vacation. The location was so convenient to the beach and within walking distance to multiple restaurants. Also, her recommendation for S&S Fish Market and the Royal Red shrimp was spot on!!

Thank you Jennifer for taking the time to write a review and I’m so glad you had a great time. You were definitely a five star renter and would love to have you visit again. Karen.
We had a great stay! The condo was great. The location was perfect. The amenities were great as weak. The host was very helpful! We will definitely be back.
The condo was great! Exactly as described and in a great location! The bed was comfortable, nice soft leather furniture and a very big balcony. The host Karen was a pleasure. We would definitely like to come back!
Great location and just as described! It was quiet with a beautiful view. The indoor pool and game room were great on rainy days. We would definitely stay in this same unit again!
The condo is in the perfect location. You can easily access all stores & restaurants. The beach view from the balcony was beautiful. The condo staff were very accommodating & helpful. The condo owner provided amazing communication before & durning our stay. We made tons of memories & had a blast.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. So glad I could help you and your family make lasting memories. Karen
This condo was exactly as described! We loved our waterfront view and loved being able to look out and see dolphins almost every morning!! Karen was so great throughout the entire process with communication and sending recommendations! The condo was so clean and nice and we would definitely stay here again!!
A fantastic place to stay. Right on the beach. The huge balcony is a great place to sit and enjoy the ocean waves. Karen is a great host. Great communication. Everything was clean and ready to go! We’ll definitely be back!
Perfect location right on the beach! We were a short drive from anywhere we wanted to go. Great recommendations from the host and lightning fast communication. Thanks again!

I vacationed in this area for over 30 years and was finally able to purchase. I've owned and managed vacation rentals for over 10 years. Gulf Shores is my happy place!
Why they chose this property
Crystal Shores West is a luxury condominium built in 2006 located on the beautiful beach of Gulf Shores. This unit is on the first floor (actual floor is 5th after parking) due to the 4 story parking below. You'll have breath taking views of the Gulf and all its beauty. The spacious private balcony (accessible from master bedroom or living room) lets one truly enjoy the ultimate beauty of Gulf Shores. It is located near shopping, The Hangout and restaurants in the heart of Gulf Shores. The units are larger/wider/newer and more up scale than the 'normal rental units.'
What makes this property unique
I love only having to walk up 1 flight of stairs if I don't want to take the elevator to get to my car.
