About this property

Beautiful Beachfront Bliss in Gulf Shores!

Our spacious 1,100 sq. ft. beachfront condo, featuring 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, is located in Central Gulf Shores, directly on the Gulf of Mexico. We have just installed beautiful new flooring throughout the condo—there is no carpet in our unit. Guests will receive check-in details three days before arrival.

You will enjoy direct beach views from all windows and doors. Our condo is on the fourth floor, and there are two fast elevators located just two doors down from the unit. When you open the large sliding glass doors to the balcony from both the living room and the master suite, you can hear the waves crashing on the white sand beach below. You may even see dolphins swimming by each morning!

The living room is spacious and features a sofa pull-out bed with a gel-top mattress. We've added a 60" flat HD 4K screen TV to the entertainment center, along with Netflix and Amazon Prime access. High-speed internet is available throughout the unit. The two large bedrooms each have their own en-suite bathrooms, and both are equipped with separate closets.

The main master bedroom features brand new furniture and offers spectacular Gulf views through a full wall-size sliding glass door. The remodeled master bathroom boasts a double sink vanity, and we provide sample shampoo and conditioners in each bathroom. The second bedroom has been remodeled and includes a window with a bay view.

Our kitchen has also been remodeled, showcasing white shaker-style custom cabinetry accented with fine granite countertops. It includes a new under-counter sink with a modern single faucet. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, cups, glasses, and an array of cooking and eating utensils. Additionally, a brand new Keurig K-Cup pod coffee maker, a 12-cup coffee maker, toaster oven, blender, and microwave are all available for your use. From the kitchen, you can enjoy unobstructed beach and water views.

The foyer, kitchen, bathrooms, breakfast area, dining area, living areas, and laundry room all feature upgraded tile flooring and appliances. Nine-foot ceilings enhance the ocean views from the living and dining areas, as well as from the master bedroom.

Our condo is 1,100 square feet, with additional oversized terraces. The 200-square-foot terrace includes a white bar-height patio dining set for enjoying the expansive views of the beach below.

The ground level of the condominium complex features an indoor/outdoor heated pool with a magnificent whirlpool waterfall. This level also includes a covered entry with some covered parking, a barbecue area, and a boardwalk leading to the beach. On the lobby level, you’ll find an exercise room and a game room that overlook the indoor pool, as well as mailboxes, a sauna, a meeting room, and a sun terrace.

This is truly a fantastic complex, and we've worked hard to ensure our condo reflects that quality, as it is our second home. We want our guests to feel at home here as well. Welcome to the beach!

Crystal Shores is centrally located in Gulf Shores, just under a mile from the world-famous Hangout beach mega complex and the brand new OWA amusement park, which is a unique attraction on the Gulf Coast. We are also less than 4 miles from Lulu's Buffet, ACME Oyster House, the Hangout, and Tacky Jacks.

Experience the sugar-white sands that line the 32 miles of coastline along Alabama’s beaches. Whether you enjoy swimming, sunbathing, surfing, or skimboarding, there’s a piece of the beach just for you. Explore a variety of exciting water sports in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, such as kayaking, parasailing, or riding personal watercraft. With the sun on your face, the wind at your back, and water at your beck and call, you’ll truly be on a beach vacation. Find paradise wherever you place your sand bucket and discover a new state of happiness on the Alabama Gulf Coast. Remember, guests will receive check-in details three days prior to arrival.

About the host

Host profile image
We hope you find our condo special and a place you will want to return to. We do, and we look forward to our stays in our second home. We only live a few hours south in central Alabama. We've made a lot of upgrades to the unit for our comfort and yours that we are sure you will appreciate, including three flat-panel LCD TV's with DVD players, ceramic tile in the living/dining areas, new bedding king & queen beds, many new dishes, blender, toaster oven, microwave and new balcony furniture.

Why they chose this property

One of the newest condos in Central Gulf shores and within walking distance to everything. Crystal Shores Condo is only 5 miles from the brand new OWA Amusement Park, summer 2017. No other beach's have what we have. Great views and amenities in well designed building. Lots of attractions nearby. My family has a wonderful time there each time we go.
Whether you're reeling in the catch of the day or sightseeing on a dolphin cruise, there's plenty to do and see on an Orange Beach fishing charter or cruise. Experience Gulf Shores and Orange Beach in a whole new way when you fish the back bays of the Alabama Gulf Coast or set sail on the open water. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach fishing charters depart daily. Choose from private charters to party boat charters for the experience that's right for you and your group. Fish the largest artificial fishing reef program in the country when you sink your line in the Gulf waters off of Orange Beach for some Alabama deep sea fishing fun. Dolphin sightseeing tours are equally entertaining and educational and are a fun way to spend the day. Orange Beach sailboat charters are another great way to while away the time on your beach vacation

What makes this property unique

Terrific beach front views, beautiful white sand beach in Central Gulf Shores. Indoor-outdoor pool, free games in the game room, excercise room, sauna, etc. Beach chair rentals exclusive for Crystal Shore guests. Just steps away from the condo .
Nominated as one of the Ultimate Fishing Towns in America, lives up to its name as a great fishing mecca. In Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, you’ll find boats for charter, as well as boats for sale. Or bring your own. Some Gulf Shores and Orange Beach condominiums are even boat friendly and offer launches and boat slips. Enjoy cruising the calmer waters of our back bays or venture out into the Gulf of Mexico where the big fish live.
