When you arrive at your Crystal Shores condo in Gulf Shores, put down your bags, change into your swimsuit and head out to the beautiful white-sand beach. A wooden boardwalk makes accessing the shore easy, and because the condo is Gulf front, you won't have to go very far to start building that sandcastle, take a dip in the emerald-green waters of the Gulf, or just spread out a blanket, pop up a beach umbrella and start relaxing! There are also wooden loungers and umbrellas available for rent during your stay.
While you're downstairs, enjoy the outdoor/indoor swim-through pool, outdoor hot tub, on-site sauna, exercise room, game room and exercise facility.
In your comfortable condo, you'll love the view from your private balcony. Sit outside and relax while reading a good book, catching up on the day's news, or just gazing out at the horizon watching for dolphins to surface as they swim near the shore. Your Crystal Shores balcony is a great place to watch the sunset every night of your stay. Watch the bright moon rise in the night sky. Can you see the constellations? Pick out the Big Dipper? Orion? Show the kids how beautiful the stars are at the beach and away from the lights back home. It's not unusual to see falling stars streak across the night sky from time to time.
Whether you need to sleep two people or as many as six, Crystal Shores' two-bedroom condos are perfect for those craving a beach getaway. Book your Crystal Shores condo now, and let the relaxing commence!

Overall Nice
Place was nice overall. Disappointed that the 1st 2 days the pools and hot tub were closed due to repairs and we were not informed. The doors in the master bedroom did not open to the balcony.

Overall great experience!!
Great location! Clean and easy. Very enjoyable. The ONLY flaw would be the shower pressure in bathroom. For children, it was a little too hard she could not shower in that one. But the master bath was perfect and managed well.

Problems
One of the elevators was broken pretty much the whole time we were there. The washer was broken so we could not use it although they did give me some money back for that. I called a number or two on the list on the refrigerator. I left messages on both. there was another number I never tried. Finally the day we left on Mon. I tried it . I got somebody right away. Numbers should be marked better so you would know who to call. It was a great place except for that. No place to wash towels.
