Quiet Fall Getaway

Clean, comfortable, and cozy condo for up to four guests. A little crowded for any more than four people. Living room furniture stained with who knows what, but overall the condo was well cleaned upon arrival. Comfortable beds and cable TV in each room. Free parking for two vehicles with ample space at least in early November. Beach across the street via easy access.

Nice place to stay.

Super clean and spacious. This would be a 5 star review but the shower drain was clogged and the dishwasher didn’t work. It’s not a big deal, will definitely attempt to rent this condo again.

Ocean View Vacation

Love the check in/check out process. Only thing that I didn’t care for is the lack of direct contact we had with the downstairs desk. When I needed to reach the help desk I had to call the one-eight hundred number that was giving through my email when I booked the condo. Other than that my stay was amazing and I will be returning.

Great Condo

The condo and property amenities are awesome. Many pools on condo side with easy walk across sky bridge to large pool and hot tub on beach side. Very safe. Friendly on-site staff. Vacasa staff super responsive and checked on us when Hurricane Francine was near. We will be back again.

The condo was very clean. The pool areas are very well kept. Beach access is easy. Kid friendly. I would give this property 5 stars, but the shower drain was clogged and the dishwasher did not work, and apparently had not worked in a while judging by the appearance of the inside of it. The balcony is nice with very nice gliders. The road traffic is pretty loud, but not unbearable. I would stay here again.

Nice Property with Great Beach

Our family of 5 stayed 4 nights and had plenty of space in the nice unit. The unit was clean. The HVAC was cold. There was plenty of space. My only notes would be to bring blankets (bedding was light weight) and washcloths (there was the minimum). Overall a great location and property! Overall

Overall great place to stay! Great view of the ocean and easy access to multiple pools and the ocean, especially with children because there’s an enclosed bridge to walk over the road.

Feels like home

The place is so clean! Soon as you walk in it smells fresh. Condo was perfect for our family or 4 with plenty of space to do our own thing or not be on top of each other when we are hanging out. Nice view out from the balcony, 2 chairs are broken and need replacing. It was cold two days we were here so we couldn’t use the outside pool but looked so enjoyable. The hot tub is big and indoor pool is small but warm. Sauna doesn’t stay on all day so if you want to use it turn it on an hour ahead. Nice walk to the beach about 5 minutes long. Beach is short and not a lot of space to set up. The water was amazing! So clear. Loved our stay over all! Worth the price for mid October.

Nice condo...beware of the amenity policy

We have stayed at Crystal Tower before, and have always enjoyed it. The main draw for us is the lazy river. This condo was very nice, and had some very thoughtful touches in the supplies, etc. It is right by the elevators, but we never noticed any noise from that. My only real complaint is that the lazy river was not operational, and we were not notified of that (apparently, the motor had gone out). We paid what appeared to be a premium for that (based on comparable others that we saw without a lazy river), so that was very disappointing. We did reach our to the management company about getting some type of compensation, and they stated that their rental policies state that they take no responsibility for any amenities that they have listed that are not actually functional.

Perfect location

The property was very clean and well maintained! The AC blew cold and was perfect for cooling off after the beach! The location is perfect with 3 pools on property and a short walk to the beach using the connected catwalk to cross over the street! (Although we never used the indoor pool). The kitchen did have everything you needed to cook a meal but at the VERY MINIMUM. No spices or salt or pepper etc were left in the condo. Which isn’t required but is at most other VRBO locations we have stayed. Also do not try using the Vacasa app to communicate with property management for any of your needs as it takes 1-2 days to respond. I tried using the app but had to call to get wrist bands and a comforter for one of the beds. Also the comforters provided are no more than a thick sheet. We made a trip to the local Walmart for our own supplies. Plenty of towels in the condo for shower and beach use. The washer and dryer in the unit was a life saver but we bought our own detergent. They do provider detergent but it is only 2 loads worth. (Prepackaged for single use). We needed more for a weeks stay. Same with toilet paper and other supplies as they do provide them but you will run out on a longer stay.

Exactly What We Needed

Updates fixtures and finishes. Clean and everything works as it should. The AC was quality which is important in Alabama heat and humidity. Beds were a bit hard on our backs or would have been an easy 5 star. Overall it was what we needed and pleased with our stay.
