What a great week we had in Gulf Shores in a fabulous condo! After a brief oops during check-in (we went to Crystal Shores West instead of Crystal Shores) we had an amazing stay. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was well stocked (thank you for having a Keurig), balcony furniture (with a table!) was great, and there were even extra pillows/sheets/blankets--and HANGERS in the closets! It was also nice to have little "extras" in the bathroom & kitchen cupboards. Communication with the host was friendly and very quick. We had a great spring break!

The condo was very comfortable and clean. Host was amazing and quick to respond to questions. One issue was the refrigerator that has a problem with cooling anything items that are not first iced down. Not sure the problem, but rather inconvenient upon arrival. The view is amazing and quick access to the sand! I did find the pictures of the pools misleading as the outdoor pool is the size of a large hot tub and the indoor pool is connected. Some days they were heated, others not and the actual hot tub never functioned. We managed, but I include if these matter to you.

Awesome Time

We had a blast on our 5-day vacation. The condo was exactly what we were looking for. We loved the short walk from the condo to the beach - no long pier. In the words of our son “we have to stay at the same place and on the same room next year!”

Perfect slice of paradise

We had a wonderful start over Memorial Day weekend. Everything was exactly as expected, information was detailed and it was easy to access our keys and get into the condo. It was the perfect location with an amazing view from our balcony! We were very impressed how easy it was to get up and down in the condo. We were steps from the beach and had access to a pool. Beds were comfortable, the condo was very clean and decorated nicely, and the kitchen was stocked with the basics needed. We had a small problem with the smoke detector going off in the middle of the night - needed a new battery. They responded immediately and new battery put in and it was all fixed! Our trip was too short, and we would definitely visit again!
