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!

It was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, which made for a really pleasant stay. I also appreciated how responsive and communicative the host was. They were quick to answer any questions and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely consider staying here again!
The place was wonderful. The view was excellent. Of course a cold front moved through but it was okay because we could sit on the balcony and enjoy the view.
Our trip to Gulf Shores was very memorable and the condo/apartment was as advertised. Some of our favorite times were just sitting on the balcony and enjoying our morning coffee or having a drink and just watching and listening to the waves roll in! It didn’t hurt that the weather was perfect the week we were there. I have been an annual traveler to the Gulf Shores area since 2017 with a golf group, but it was my girlfriend’s first time there. She is already talking about going back. We would love to stay in the same apartment if it’s available again. One other plus was some of the people we met and interacted with while there. We talked to several people who lived in the building, and they were all very nice and helpful to us. Thank you for the great memories!
This was best place we have stayed in a very long time! Love how I emailed the host and ask if we could check I. Earlier than what they said because we arrived early and they responded sure that would be fine!!! Thank you again we will be back again!!! Love this place!!!
This property offers everything you would need. We used the pool, the workout room, as well as the easy access to the beach. The elevators were fast and not a problem with having to wait on them. We all enjoyed the large balcony.
Beautiful view, great location to everything we wantedPool was nice, not crowded during our stay Everything we needed for our stay Condo property staff were great
Very nice condo and nice beach view , it would be nice if there were a little more info in the listing about the parking arrangements, the parking pass and the key fobs for beach and pool etc but overall we enjoyed it and Gulf Shores. It was off season and that’s when we travel lately .

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Dec 2025
Dear Mr. Eric,
We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your time at our condo. We don’t typically respond to reviews, regardless of the content, but we’d like to provide clarity for future guests.
VRBO automatically sends a detailed check‑in process three days prior to arrival, and this has been consistent for over five years. No guest has ever reported not receiving it. As you may recall, 4–5 days before your scheduled check‑in, you reached out to request a change of dates due to rain in the forecast. We were happy to accommodate that adjustment at no charge.
I’m sorry you experienced difficulty locating your check‑in details. Throughout your stay, I responded promptly to each of your questions to ensure you had the information you needed.
Thank you again for choosing our condo, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
Warm regards,
Mr. & Mrs. Brienza
The condo was perfect! The master bed is very comfortable, the location is perfect - being on the 4th floor is close enough to hear the waves and high up enough for beautiful views. We will stay here again if we go back to Gulf Shotes. Communication with the host was effiand friendly.
Beautiful unit overlooking the Gulf. The unit was Perfect for our "Sister" Trip and we enjoyed ourselves every day. As a Bonus the weather and Beach Service added to our enjoyment of our stay. We will be back !!!
We enjoyed the property and the location on the beach was great!

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.
