Great condo!!

We had a great time at this condo!! It was very nice and had everything that we needed. The check in and out process was a breeze and everyone was so nice and helpful. Will definitely be booking there in the future. Everything was updated and clean. I love that there was a door to the balcony in the master bedroom. The door from the living room was a little tough to open, but it wasn’t a big deal.

Would stay again

Location FABULOUS. Be quick putting in the code or you will never get in. Time for the furniture to be updated. Make sure you pull the front door firmly closed, if you let it close on it's own it did not close completely. We did let management know so I hope they fixed it. Tug once to be sure. The Welcome folder was not clearly visible, hidden in a kitchen corner took a bit to find. I would have liked to see on the bed or kitchen table. Had a wonderful trip and can't wait to go back. The Security guard was very helpful and nice.

Great stay and would stay again!

Everything was fantastic, the view, the clean condo, 2 full baths and bedrooms were great. 1 large outdoor pool, another regular outdoor pool and a small indoor. The walkway to get across the street was awesome, made it super easy to get to the beach. The TV in my 7yr olds room wasn’t working, not a big deal because we spent almost zero time in the condo during the day except to eat, but he thought it was awesome to have one in his room. The property manager had it fixed right away. Only 2 things I would change (that weren’t big deals at all), the condo is located right in front of the elevators, so the dinging and sound of people talking can be heard clearly by the front bedroom and the beds are noisy when you move on them. If there is a light sleeper, it may be an issue.

Amazing Views!

We had a great time at this property--views were amazing, I was a little unsure since it was across the road and was afraid the view would be blocked by another hotel, but it wasn't! Check in was super easy and we did a late check in. The sky walk was closed due to repairs but it was still easy to cross the street to get to the beach. Condo was clean and beds were comfy. Would definitly stay at this location again.

Nice few days away

This condo had everything we need. It’s centered in the middle of the building so you get a great view of the ocean. The walkway to the pool is wonderful so you don’t have to cross the street. Only complaint is the noisy bed. Every time we moved it made noise. The mattress was comfortable but the bed frame was loud. Otherwise I’d stay there again.

Loved Our Stay

We very much enjoyed our stay. Condo was very clean upon arrival had all things we needed to make our stay plenty comfortable. This was our first time staying @ Crystal Towers & we look forward to returning. We met a couple of wonderful owners & look forward to building lasting friendships with them. My little loved the pools & the fact he could touch the bottom almost anywhere. The lazy river was nice. The only minor issue was elevator troubles, which unfortunately could only be fixed with more elevators LOL Overall GREAT trip & cant wait to visit again!

The furniture is very old. They started doing construction and didnt inform us, so loud u couldnt even think. It was awful. Came home one day and some guys were just in our room fixing a curtain rod, no one told us. These were some very unacceptable things.

Great place with even greater amenities

Property management was very responsive anytime that I called them before the check in process started. Check in was very easy. We received a bag with all of our information and instructions, wrist bands, and parking pass. Once arriving to the condo, there were carts provided by the elevator to use to bring our luggage upstairs to our unit. Once we got into the unit, it was very nice, and it was just as advertised by the listing and the pictures. The floors seemed like they could have been cleaned or mopped better, but the overall cleanliness was good. The view of the gulf was nice. We loved the covered pedestrian walkway to access the beach, and the pool area was nice as well. Overall great condo! We would stay again!

On 1 issue

Property was fantastic. My 20 year old slept in the front bedroom. After the 1st night we noticed a smell from the mattress. It smelled of old urine. It wasn't horrible but you could tell there were previous accidents in that bed. I understand it happens, I have 3 kids, but maybe time to switch it out or give it a good cleaning. Everything else was perfect. We love this property

Girls Trip

The condo itself was clean and nice. We enjoyed having an ocean view from the balcony. The crosswalk to the beach and larger pool is wonderful. The beach, however, is very small due to erosion so the pools stayed pretty crowded. Beach service was offered, but space did not allow for many umbrellas and chairs to be set up. It was hard to get to the beach in time to rent one before they were already reserved for the day. The company did not allow for reservations for the next day or week. It was always first come first serve and hard to get due to the low number and small area. However, all in all, we had a great girls trip and enjoyed the large beach pool.

Decent Place

The condo matches the pictures pretty well, but the noise was louder than expected. This unit is literally right next to the elevator and you can hear everything from the hallway. Neighbors were dragging their furniture around, even at night, which made it difficult to sleep. Beds are uncomfortable and squeak every time you move. There’s also no access controls to the elevator, sky bridge, or pool area so anyone can come over and use the facility. Beach was crowded and most of the people were rude, even to my 7 year old daughter. Gulf Shores used to be one of my favorite spots, but now I doubt I’ll return.
