Sports Tournament Gold

We had a great stay, so much that we extended an extra day. We were in GS for a national softball tournament and our team all stayed at Crystal Towers. Our unit was ideal. The 05 units are the middle of the building and so you can see the ocean directly between the on beach properties. Being up on the 15th floor we had an amazing view. We had 2 teens and 2 adults, plenty of space for everyone. The hot water lasted through 4 showers in a row! There was always plenty of parking regardless of what time or day we were coming in and out. The carts available in the parking lot for loading and unloading are amazing and help with groceries and packing/unpacking. The unit had just about everything we could need. We ate in most of our meals and there is enough variety in cookware and dishes to make it all work. Each room has a ceiling fan which is ideal since many rentals don't have them. Plenty of towels and more than enough different blankets/pillows/linens for use on the beds and the couch if needed. The dressers and giant closets made storage easy even with all the extra softball equipment. The pools were nice and never felt crowded. The beach also didn't feel overly crowded. The covered walkway was great so you aren't running across the road dodging cars. The whole building is very disability friendly as well.

***Fantastic Beach Condo for our Fam of 4!!!***

First of all this was my first VRBO stay so I was a bit nervous on how the whole process worked. Kim was so kind and very responsive from before I had even booked. We came to Gulf Shores for my daughters softball tournament and we were within 15 min from the Gulf Shores Sports Complex. Very clear check-in details sent a week or so in advance. Condo was very clean and smelled great. Has everything you will need in the kitchen and bathrooms. I had read one review that mentioned to bring own bath towels because there weren’t many. I did, but there were PLENTY of all sizes of towels for my family of 4. Just need to bring beach towels. The skywalk is an amazing benefit. The views from the balcony are beautiful and so peaceful. My son slept on the pull-out couch. After the first night he did choose to use the air mattress we brought instead. There is PLENTY of extra linens/pillows and comforters. Beds in both bedrooms were very comfortable. Bring a Fire Stick for the bedroom TV’s if you have them. The property felt very nice/clean and safe. There are 3 elevators and they were very efficient considering it is a high rise with 20 floors. It is about .25 miles from when you get off on floor 2 to putting feet in the ocean. Pool and hot tubs are great and never felt over crowded, even during peak times. I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed this condo and will definitely book with Kim again when we come back. If you are thinking about booking here…do it!

Great owner- condo front desk is not great

I do want to start by saying the owner was precious! She was so nice and was even able to let us in an hour early. Her place was just as described and clean. Cons: (not on the owner at all) 1. They only left us 5 towels when we were registered for 6 people. The front desk will not swap them and is not helpful at all. They told us we would just have to wash them every night if we wanted clean towels and would not give us additional towels. So heads up on this and bring something to wash the towels with. 2. I had asked for an additional parking pass since you only get 1. Owner said I could buy one at front desk. I go to front desk upon arrival and the lady was not the friendliest about it. Lecturing me about how she told the owners, asking me name of the owner and they know they do not sell passes. I was at a loss about what to do. She finally tells me she will sell me one but the owner knows better. She says it’s $35. I go to pay with my card and she refuses it and says I need to go get cash. So I go get cash and finally get the additional parking pass. So just as a heads up the front desk is not very helpful and is not able to really do much at all.

PG Baseball tournament

My family stayed here for the PG baseball tournament. The property for the most part was ok however there were a few things that bothered me. There was a weird smell in the condo, almost stale. Possibly from the old bedding and pillows in the master closet that smelled and were stained. The condo could be cleaned better as there was food stains on the kitchen cabinets, dust on fans and door frames, grim on baseboards and the underside of the microwave was gross. The master shower tub has signs of wear and has cracks on the floor. The master bed was very uncomfortable too. The condo could really use a good update and cleaning. Old holes in the walls and marks. Wasn’t terrible but definitely needs some love. The property itself was pretty nice. Pools were nice and access to the beach was good. Would have been better if the elevators on the beach side worked but no biggie for us.

Our view was perfect. We loved all the pool options and the skywalk to get to the beach. Condo was pretty well stocked with all amenities needed to cook. Close to shopping, the Hangout, and other fun things to do...but not so close that it was overcrowded.

Family getaway.

Great property. Perfect location. My kid loved that he had an indoor pool cause the weather wasn’t the best. Condo was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Only hiccup was the door wouldn’t open but I text Kim and she sent me another code in just a few minutes and we were in. Definitely would stay here again.

Our mini vacation

Everything about this condo was amazing! Communication was excellent! Had everything we needed and then some:) The only thing that could possibly have been better, would have been the bed. Our backs hurt the entire time, but having a clean place, great communication and an amazing view from a large balcony made it worth it! We took some ibuprofen and moved on with our plans for each day:) we understand that ever persons backs are different and you can’t possibly please everyone all the time:) would we stay again? YES! I a heartbeat:) Thank you Kim for everything:) The Sloan’s 2/24

Perfect quick trip

My family and I stayed here for a few nights and it was our first time at this condo. We were really impressed with how clean it was. It even smelled so clean! It's literally right in front of the elevator so it's a quick trip down to the pool and to the beach. Perfect location and the view was amazing. The water and the weather were perfect.
