This year was the 5th time we rented a place to get out of the Michigan winter. The CSW condo was the best by far. For my wife and I, the condo was perfect. The view is wonderful, seeing dolphins most morning. The kitchen perfectly equipped. The entire condo is clean (better than any we have experienced).Gulf Shores and the area has plenty to do and see. We eat at several very good restaurants, some within walking distance. Our host is a good communicator, easy / nice to work with. We have only good things to say about our host and this condo. We definitely recommend this condo. We will rent again.

We had an absolutely magical weekend at this charming beach place. The space was spotless, cozy, and perfectly stocked with everything we needed—from fresh linens to a fully equipped kitchen. Nestled in a peaceful condominium that felt like our own private retreat, yet just minutes from events, water sports, local eateries, etc. Also, security staff on the property are very friendly. We’ll definitely be back—10/10 recommend for a relaxing getaway!

Our stay at the condo was wonderful. We loved the condo location and how close it was to the beach! All the rooms were clean and so comfortable! We really enjoyed being able to go to the beach and then mid-day come back to the condo for a quick lunch then back to the beach! Sitting on the balcony in the morning and evening was so relaxing. Wonderful place and we will definitely go back!

Very clean, comfortable and well stocked unit. Easy, quick access to beach. Exceptional ocean view with large balcony. Walking distance or very short drive to many great restaurants, shopping and fun. Would highly recommend—was perfect for our trip with grown kids but would be just as good for younger ones as well. Very friendly staff—easy booking!

The recommendations of activity and food options for our little window of time. The amazingly stocked condo with everything you could need. Clean, well decorated with incredible views.

Very nice condo!

Just a short 4 day stay on the beach, but this condo was excellent. It was clean and comfortable with 2 king beds for us gray headed adults. Well stocked. The owner made sure we had beach towels so we wouldn't have to pack and bring any with us. That was much appreciated. We used Ike's beach service for beach chairs and there were no problems there. I used the exercise room and it was well equipped for aerobic exercise. Didn't use the swimming pool area but it looked nice. You won't go wrong renting this condo. We thought it was a bit pricey but we're glad we went with it. The rocking chairs on the balcony were very much enjoyed! We'll be back next time we do Gulf Shores.

Great place on a great spot

We loved our stay at the Crystal Shores building! The condo was super nice and clean with every detail taken care of including games and beach supplies. The view from the balcony was perfect and the direct access to a very quiet beach front was exactly what we wanted. We enjoyed being walking distance to several restaurants and Ike’s parasailing/banana boat rides! Michelle’s early and frequent contact helped keep us in the know and plan lots of things for our 12 & 14 yr olds. We were a bit bummed the elevator was out but being on such a low floor made it easier plus they provided a golf cart shuttle up the garage. Would definitely stay again.

Great stay and condo

This condo was beautiful and had everything we needed. It was nice having two king sized beds with access to a private bathroom. The balcony was spacious with nice outdoor furniture, perfect for relaxing and taking in the oceanfront view. There were a couple of beach chairs available in the condo as well. The kitchen has everything you need to eat in if you choose to. I would definitely rent this condo again.

Great cabin fever get away!

We had a wonderful week here. The condo was perfect. Being right there on the beach is where we wanted to be and we really enjoyed sitting out on the balcony whenever we were at the condo. We did have one issue that came up, but it was immediately looked into and taken care of. We will definitely be staying here again!
