Beautiful View
The condo location was good. We stayed on the 14th floor and the view was magnificent. Easy check in. The beds were comfortable. We had everything we needed. The furniture and walls were absolutely filthy. We put down sheets before we felt comfortable sitting on the couch and the chairs. The walls had something on them that actually could be washed off. Scared to do so. The commode was not clean. Half of what we paid was fees and mostly for upkeep I believe. Expect better for the amount paid.

Thank you for letting us know. Poole Team You sent a message1 hour ago Hi I had a missed call from Kathy about adding an extra day for a discounted price and I don't think we will we have had a few problems since we checked in there was no fob for the pool or beach access so they had to bring us another fob from another unit and said the next day they would bring one for ours by and they have not. And the dish network is not working in the master bedroom. Then we had to call today cause the fire alarms kept going off for no reason. So we will just stay for the time we booked and again at 5am thr fire alarms went off again. I will not be recommended this to anyone elsego home on friday. Thank you

Beach Getaway
Crystal Shores is a wonderful location, perfect for a beach getaway. Whether sitting on the balcony watching the waves or stepping out onto the sandy beaches, you will definitely enjoy your stay!! These issues didn't affect our stay and we will go back to this VRBO, but want to be transparent. There were a couple of issues we experienced while there. 1 - number of pool FOB's that were supposed to be in the unit at check-in 2 - not informed of assigned parking space in the garage 3 - ice maker in our unit didn't work 4 - there were a lot of TV remotes without instructions 5 - chair in the living room had dark stains

We always enjoy Gulf Shores, the beach and parks are fabulous. Shrimp Feast’s 50th anniversary was fun and people were very friendly. The only concern we have is the instructions regarding key fobs is out dated, as are other instructions regarding check in and check out.

Great spacious condo with easy beach access. The condo itself was amazing but amenities need to be fixed or not advertised. Pool was dirty, half gym equipment didnt work and no air, and the hot tub was not working. If you dont care about pool and gym then perfect.

We enjoyed our stay in this well-appointed and well- maintained condo. The view is spectacular with easy beach access. Check-in was seamless. The pool area could use some updates as it wasn’t particularly well maintained and we saw fire ants in the pool area. The showers by the beach weren’t working for a few days as well.

This condo was perfect for our short vacation for Hangout Fest. It was just me and my wife, but this condo could have easily accommodated another couple as each bedroom had their own bathroom. This is a top floor unit, so the view was amazing.

Ok
The rental company was very easy to work with. I was disappointed in the property. It was not in good shape. The sliding doors didn't lock and the refrigerator had a note on it that it didn't cool well. The sink in the master bath didn't drain. The code to the pool had been changed and the rental company had not been notified so that was frustrating. I would work with the rental company again but I wouldn't rent that condo again.

Great view of the beach and ocean from the balcony. Nice condo, super fast elevator, covered parking
We had a good experience, plenty of dishes, cookware, coffee pot, Keurig, crockpot, etc. King bed was comfortable, Queen bedroom mattress was terrible. Roomy balcony with table & 4 chairs, a Chaise lounge chair, and 2 other chairs. Condo was clean and A/C was cool upon arrival!! Found 2 beach chairs next to the washing machine which was an added bonus!! No serious issues other than no door handle on the slider going out of the living room onto the balcony, but we used the one in the master. Main bathroom tub wouldn't drain properly but they were going to send someone out to fix it & the door handle for the slider had been ordered, just hadn't come in yet. Didn't try the sofa sleeper, it may have been better than the queen bed. Furniture in living area had some stains and could use a good cleaning or replacement. I'd stay here again if they replaced the mattress in the queen bedroom. Condo was in a good location. Everyone was really friendly and helpful.

Good place to relax
The property was pretty nice, it could have been a little cleaner like the floors needed a good mopping. The decor was cute and colorful and the bedroom furniture was nice. The master bed was comfy but the small bedroom mattress was not the most comfortable and the headboard didn't seem to be attached to the bed frame. We had to put a pillow between the wall and headboard to keep it from hitting the wall. The living room furniture needs to be replaced as it has stains on the fabric. The kitchen was fine and had pretty much all needed to do a little cooking. If you want to make a pot of coffee you will need to bring your own filters and there is no spices or salt and pepper. The view is amazing from deck as it is on the 14th floor. All in all it was a nice stay, no issues we couldn't deal with.
