It is one of just 88 units in the cozy Crystal Shores complex which was constructed in 2004.

The wraparound balcony overlooks the complex’s indoor/outdoor swimming pool on the west side, as well as the panoramic beach front and bay views, and is ideal for sipping your morning coffee. Relaxing, with your toes in the sand, is a mere two minutes away with nearby access to one of two convenient and very quick elevators and a private walkway to the shoreline with rinse off shower.. Along with the outdoor space, the condo has two bedrooms and two bathrooms with a fully furnished kitchen and living area. You’ll not want for a thing!

Each bedroom features a flat-screen television, and, in the living room, you’ll find a 40-inch flat-screen TV with digital cable service providing additional channels. The dining room table accommodates six, and there is seating for two at the bar area. You’ll find the kitchen is fully stocked with all major appliances. The granite counter tops create an upscale, cozy environment in which to prepare your meals and enjoy your time at the beach.

In addition to these welcome beach side amenities that are sure to make your stay perfect, this unit is furnished throughout with artwork done by artists who have, over the years, become like family to us. You’ll see each piece of art mimics the surroundings and lends to the special and inviting environment. These pieces are what makes this condominium unlike so many of the others you’ll find. To us, it is what makes this unit a home away from home. Please call us to find ways to potentially save you money for your vacation time in Gulf Shores, Tom & Jane

This unit’s nine-foot ceilings lend an open and airy feeling to the space. The windows that encompass the western vistas make each stay a memorable experience. Furnished with one king and two twin beds, it can comfortably accommodate as many as six with the queen-sized sleeper sofa.

The in-unit laundry room features a full-sized Whirlpool washer and dryer. Laundry detergent is provided as well as an iron and ironing board. The 600-thread count cotton sheets on the beds and 100-percent cotton towels are additional luxuries you’ll appreciate.

This unit has easy access to the beach and pool facilities, along with easy and convenient access to the game room and fitness facilities. The game room is equipped with both, pool and foosball tables, for your enjoyment while not on the beach. You can also relax in the hot tub, steam in the sauna, or enjoy the gulf view as you work out. Parking is $20 per vehicle/stay with a limit of 2 vehicles. Parking is available in any of the non-reserved spaces in the parking area, which has both covered and open-air options.

Please note that the calendar is always accurate, and we are unable to hold ANY dates until the deposit has been received. If you wish to return again in the future we need to know those dates before returning your deposit else we presume your deposit is only for the period you have contracted with us for. We will respond to all inquiries that include a question or a request for a contract. Sorry but if you don't have a question to ask us we don't have an answer for you.

Our rates are available by clicking the “Get an instant quote” button to your right. Everything you will be charged is shown in the details. If it is not there, you will not be charged for it UNLESS you need a second parking pass... that is additional.

Simply enter the dates you’re requesting, the number of persons in your party, and VRBO will respond with availability and detailed pricing (rental/tax/cleaning/parking). During the spring and summer months, when we only offer weekly rentals and they are only Saturday-to-Saturday rentals. If the instant quote option doesn't work for you, please double-check that you’re requesting a Saturday-to-Saturday stay. We are unable to accommodate other requests at this time. Please note that if there is no daily rate posted, there is no daily rental offered. Based on feedback from one of our snowbird guests all dates are now open for all parties at all times so no one feels pressured to make a decision as that was never our intention. So if there are dates available and rates published it can be booked.

Charcoal grills are available for our guests to use downstairs, but charcoal and starter fluid are not provided. Rental chaises, as well as umbrellas, are also available from March into October and may be rented from a third-party vendor for around $130 a week. As of 1/1/2016 Gulf Shores has stated they will commence to enforce a clean beach policy so all tents/chairs, etc. must be removed by 8PM. Beach chair concessions that have a business license will have have 1-2 more years before they too will be required to clear the beach each night. This is being done so the city can groom the beach and in part to protect sea turtle nesting. For more information contact the City of Gulf Shores

Come stay at our place, and enjoy the view inside and out! We bet that you won’t be able to choose your favorite piece of art or your favorite view!

Just what we needed

This property was in a great location and low density so beach wasn’t too crowded. Close to many things and great size for our family! Would come back to this condo if we choose to come back to gulf shores.

Great Property

Our family stayed for a week and enjoyed everything about the property. The smaller number of units made getting a spot on the beach and riding the elevator so much easier. The unit was clean and the art was a fun addition. Thanks so much for a great place to stay. We will definitely be back!

Excellent stay

If I could give this property 5+ stars, I would!!! The views are the absolute best!!!! The balcony is so spacious! We enjoyed many dinners listening to the waves. The condo is right on the beach and doesn’t require a lot of walking to find your perfect spot. The condo was very spacious for our family of 4. The kitchen was fully equipped and the washer/dryer was so nice to have!! This is one of the cleanest properties that we have stayed in. Location was perfect. There’s a little grocery store across the street which is super convenient. We have already talked about returning here next year. We absolutely loved it!!

Beautifully appointed!

We couldn't have been more pleased with this condo. It was clean, well-stocked, and the wrap around balcony views were wonderful! The location in Gulf Shores is perfect--we walked to Bahama Bobs for dinner and enjoyed the sunset along the way. The Hangout wasn't much further and very walkable. The building also has one of the shortest walks to the beach -- perfect for the kiddies! Thank you for a very enjoyable family vacation!

Great condo

Had a great time. Perfect weather, beautiful condo, nice building. Easy walk to downtown, but far enough away. Owners were great about deposit mistake on my part. My wife thought the exercise area was great, one morning watching the dolphins while she worked out. The second bedroom/bathroom was perfect for the two 18 year old boys in the group. Everyone loved all the artwork. We will be back as soon as we can. Tom and Jane, Thanks for the use of your condo.

Great place but some things could have been better

The location is good and the view is fantastic. The beach is gorgeous and wasn't crowded. Kitchen is well stocked. We had a great time! There were a few things that could have been better. The unit could use some updates: toilets didn't always flush well and bedroom TVs are tiny. Also communications from the property manager could have been better. Eg, they knew water to the unit would be off at 2pm one day, but they didn't tell us in advance.

Fabulous condo!

What a great condo! My sisters and I stayed in Crystal Shores 807 for a week in May/2016. Each year, we try very hard to find the best gulf front condo that is affordable. This one exceeded our expectations. The Gulf Front view from the balcony is unbeatable and the location is just west of Hwy 59, close to great shopping and restaurants. Everything was clean and well maintained. When we arrived, we noticed that one of the support boards for one of the twin beds was broken. We called Michael and he was able to take care of it right away. This condo was even better supplied than most of the others we have stayed in. There were a few dish washing packets, some paper towels, a couple of bars of soap and a small amount of laundry detergent. The king bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. The twin beds in the second bedroom were not as comfortable, but they were satisfactory. We loved all the local artwork decorations. I would definitely recommend this property.

Loved Gulf Shores

My family really enjoyed our time in Gulf Shores. We met the nicest people while staying at Crystal Shores. Everyone was so friendly. The Sand and Beach is beautiful, nice and white and easy to walk on near the water. The Crystal Shores Condo Complex was conveniently located within walking distance to several restaurants and a convenience store which was wonderful. We loved the delicious Po' Boys at Bahama Bob's on the Beach. And Janino's NY Pizza was very yummy too, went there twice. My husband and sons also enjoyed golfing at the State Park nearby. We drove 15 minutes to Flora-Bama for lunch one day and enjoyed that experience. We went shopping at several Surf Shops, ate at The Oyster House, Lulu's, Shrimp Basket, and had an excellent meal at Gulf Island Grill. The amenities at Crystal Shores was very nice, my husband and I really enjoyed the hot tub. Everything was well taken care of and there was a security guard on site 24 hours a day. The Beach chair service was great and the people who worked it were very nice and competent, always asking if we were doing ok, or needed our umbrella moved. We really just spent most of our time on the beach, enjoying the sun, water, and people watching. The Condo had a beautiful view from the 8th floor corner balcony! We spent may hours enjoying the view and looking for Dolphins through our binoculars. The Condo was clean and well maintained, the kitchen was nice and updated, the washer and dryer worked great. It had everything we needed for the week and we were very happy with it. Working with Tom was great, he immediately responded to all my emails, and provided great customer service. We would recommend Gulf Shores to our friends and family. Our whole experience was fun and enjoyable. We can't wait to come back!!!

We're hooked!

As a newly retired couple from Northeastern Wisconsin we had been looking forward to spending our winters somewhere away from the snow and cold. Good friends of ours had been going to the Crystal Shores complex for eight years already and suggested we give it a try, as they loved it. Our online search led us to Unit 807 and we are so glad it was available! Working with Tom and Jane was a true pleasure. We arrived to find the unit everything we had expected from the pictures and descriptions! Walking into the corner unit view was spectacular! It was bright and cheerful, extremely clean, well maintained and completely supplied for most everything needed to enjoy our stay. The beach folk art is such fun! The utility room with full size machines was a bonus. Master king size bed was very comfortable. We loved the wrap around balcony and took advantage of it every day, to see marvelous sunrises/sunsets, (took a slew of pictures) watching dolphins and the occasional Blue Angels flyby! Always something to see. Bring your binoculars!! The owners have provided plenty of patio furniture to enjoy this perfect balcony. The Gulf of Mexico is a fascination to see every day, and we loved the wave sounds from inside the unit and out. The access to the beach couldn't be any closer! You are "right" on it! It is the beautiful beach that will draw you for many walks and shell collecting excursions. There was good parking, fast elevators, very clean maintenance of the whole building. Indoor/outdoor pool was wonderful with nice warm temperatures. We took advantage of the charcoal BBQ grills to entertain friends. Along with the amenities of the game room, exercise room and sauna, it made for an all around complete winter escape!! We simply fell in love with the Gulf Shores area. The Pier 33 store across the street from the complex is so convenient, it has everything. Grocery stores are within a short driving distance. There's a fabulous variety of restaurants with no end to fresh seafood and lots of fun shops too, all in the very safe, laid back atmosphere of this lovely beach town. There's also many places to go visit within short driving distances. You will never be bored that's for sure. And all this is available right out the door of Tom and Jane's beautiful condo #807, which we found to be a perfect home away from home!! Thank you both for giving us the opportunity to experience a fun beginning to our new phase of retired life. We will be back!!

Dont stay here.

When looking for an on-the-beach rental, you have thousands of choices along the gulf coast. There is no compelling reason you should chose this property. Arrival day. We received conflicting information about the check-in time, one source said 3PM, another said 4PM. I called the property manager twice, she did not return either of my calls. Around noon, I called the owner directly. He said we could check-in at 3PM. We show up at 3PM (after going to the grocery and buying food, including perishables) and find the door is ajar. I knock, and a woman sticks here head out the door. I told her we were checking in. She, without introducing herself or stating her position, said the place won’t be ready until 4PM and closed the door. I knocked again, told her I had talked to the owner not 2 hours before and he said 3PM. She intermediate developed an attitude and told me that she didn’t want to hear any grief about it (!). We told her we would wait until 4PM, but we had perishables that needed to be refrigerated. She said we couldn’t do that since the ‘fridge had not yet been cleaned. So we removed our food. This entire interaction took less than 3 minutes. She then told us that the property wouldn’t be available until 4:30 PM! No explanation for the added 30 minutes, guess we were being punished for wanting to check in on time??? We and our luggage and perishables sat out on the non-beach facing side of the deck and admired the parking lot for 90 minutes. There was nothing else we could do. When 4:30 rolled around she came out, still didn’t identify herself and offered no apology for the 90 minute delay or for her insolent attitude. In the interim I called the owner again. He explained that she “just must be having a bad day”. Upon inspecting the place we found that the sliding door from the master bedroom would not lock, the wireless password posted on the ‘fridge was wrong, the dark towels mentioned in the rental agreement (for the ladies to remove their makeup with...otherwise there would be an extra cleaning charge) were not there, there was no reserved parking space, and on and on. Clearly the owner has no idea what is going on with his property, and the property manager could care less about customer service. I’ve had several customer-facing jobs in my life, and if I had talked to a customer the way she talked to me and my wife I’d been fired the next day.
