Nice place with a great view.

It was nice to have a full kitchen and washer/dryer. The mattress in the smaller room was worn out. Had a great time.

The only thing we would have liked was a blanket on the bed in the primary bedroom or even in the closet that we could have thrown on The duvet was thin and we like covers If available, we would book this unit for our next getaway.

Overseas customer service. Local team dropped off parking passes & nothing more.

The elevator was out and I was promised relocation or a discount. When it became apparent there would be no relocation I pressed for the promised discount & was ghosted by the local team. All communication were piped overseas & and transferred to the local team, which gave no discount. I paid FULL price to have to walk up 9 flights of stairs evertime I left the condo. I will NEVER stay with Vacasa again.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

The condo itself was very nice and homie. But our experience was terrible. The elevators were and still are broke. Having to walk up and down 8 flights of stairs for our entire stay was horrible. My mother could not come and enjoy any activities because she can't walk up and down those many flights of stairs. We had no update on when the elevators would be working again. 2 nights we walked down to go to the pool, and it was closed. And this was at 8pm. I am very disappointed in our stay. Again, the condo itself was very clean and nice.

"OK"

The best thing about this condo is the location. It was awesome to have quick/easy access to the beach. However - this particular unit needs some attention from either the property manager or owner. This is not a unit we would ever book again in the future.

Great location - almost perfect

Everything very nice - couple of issues. Two of the four lightbulbs in the bathroom were burnt out. Closet door in the second bedroom was completely of its track. Also gave us the wrong gate code for the 2nd straight trip. But, location and complex in general are great.

A gem of the Gulf Shores

We had a great experience even with the rain. The apartment has everything you need. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. We did not try the sofa bed. Love that all linens and towels were white. No stains. We had a wonderful view of the Gulf. The A/C and heat worked perfectly. The price was very reasonable and included parking for two cars. The heated pool a big plus because of the weather. The building is older so it could be better, but the apartment is great. I guess during the summer season will get busier and the complex only has two elevators for 14 floors. You might need some patience then.

Felt like a Motel 6

No smart TVs. In this day and age is a must. Master bathroom slightly dirty, no roller to put toilet paper on and curtain and liner were gross. Only 1 garbage bag. I love Crystal Shores West, but without the full kitchen and washer/dryer, I felt like I could have been staying at a Motel 6. Disappointed

Overall, it was a great stay! The facilities, room, and staff were excellent. The room itself is very nice, clean, spacious, and so convenient with quick access to most everything in the Gulf Shores. My only negatives: **The WiFi could used to be secure and upgraded. We had to be on our network instead of WiFi for almost the entire trip. When more than 1 device was connected, we could not use any others. This cost to maintain a paid service can easily be incorporated into the cost for customers to stay by a slight uptick in cost. **Towels and wash clothes, toilet paper, and pillows all need upgraded. All were low quality items. Overall, I wish the app allowed for a more detailed overall rating as it it definitely a place that deserves higher than a 4-star rating but not quite 5-star. If I could, I'd give it a 4.5-4.75-star rating.

Could have been much better!

There were no sheets for the pull out. Had to call and got them at 10:00pm the second night. The bedroom closet doors were off track and propped up. The lamp didn’t work in the guest bedroom. The dishwasher didn’t work. Had to call to get that fixed. All in all not a great experience in this condo. I felt like I spent a good amount of time on the phone trying to get in touch with management to get things done.
