Quick Beach Trip
We booked Crystal Tower 1209 because we were in town for our daughter's volleyball tournament. The condo was clean, updated and had amazing views of the Gulf, Little Lagoon and sunsets. While the weather wasn't as cooperative as we'd hoped, the condo was fantastic! We highly recommend and would absolutely choose Crystal Tower 1209 again!

I would stay in this unit again but….
Overall we enjoyed our stay, but a few things need some attention.
1. A pizza box from May 2023 was left in the floor beside the dryer.
2. Shower does not drain well at all in the master bath.
3. Light bulbs needed to be replaced in a couple of areas.
4. TV in one of the bedrooms did not work well. It could not obtain a good signal.
These things are easily fixed and did not negatively affect our stay. Maybe housekeeping can be a little more observant. Again, overall, we enjoyed our time there and would consider staying there again.

We absolutely love the condo! We are already looking at the next dates to book. Clean, convenient, and great views. The condo was decorated cute. We love that there was three pools and a air-conditioned skywalk to the beach. Thank you.

Great birthday trip!
We loved everything about the condo. Easy access to beach, location is great, easy parking, and no issues with elevators. The “lazy river” was a little misleading, but it made for a fun joke. The view is AMAZING! Balcony off both bedrooms was fantastic. Highly recommend this unit!

Beautiful Condo
Condo was very clean and just as pictured. Kitchen was well stocked. We’ve stayed in Orange Beach but this was our first time at Gulf Shores. The location was very.
My daughter and I found the one bed to be a little harder than the other, so I went and bought a foam mattress topper from the store and also bought a couple of extra pillows which I left with the box for future guests to use. There are bath towels, but no beach towels (which I’m not sure was noted anywhere), so be sure to bring your own:) Definitely would stay here again.

Amazing!
This property was amazing. Great views had everything we needed. Definitely will stay again!! Loved the bridge so we didn’t have to run across the roadway. Also loved having views from both balconies!
