Overview

Perched up atop Gulf Shores on the 20th floor of Crystal Tower, find a serene spot for basking in the breeze, marveling at sunrises and sunsets, and taking in a sweeping view of the sparkling Gulf of Mexico.

This Gulf-facing condo enjoys a prime position in Crystal Tower, a resort-style high-rise just across the road (via sky bridge and boardwalk) from the beach in Gulf Shores. On the grounds, you'll find swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, a fitness center, and a boardwalk leading out to the white sand beach. It's both a scenic and convenient location, only a mile from Highway 59 and two miles from Gulf State Park.

There's no better place to begin and end each day than your private balcony - a spacious, shaded outdoor area where you can sip coffee or cocktails, play cards, even sit down for dinner with a gorgeous view.

Inside, the condo is beautifully decorated, offering an open kitchen, both a table and breakfast bar for at-home dining, and a living room that opens to the balcony. Enjoy central air conditioning, your own washer/dryer to take care of your swimsuits and towels, and TVs in the living room and both bedrooms. Each bedroom is paired with its own full bathroom, with the primary suite opening to the Gulf-facing balcony.

If none is available, you may choose another available property (paying or receiving any price difference) or receive a full refund. Substituted properties are subject to these terms and any Unit-Specific Terms for that property. All of this is subject to the booking channel’s terms.

Legal

- To the maximum extent permitted by law, Avari and the owner, and their affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents, disclaim all warranties and are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages, or for personal injury, illness, emotional distress, or property damage related to your stay. This applies to all claims, including those based on warranty, contract, negligence, or strict liability. You agree to indemnify Avari and the owner for claims arising from your or your guests’ actions.
- These terms are governed by Oregon law, unless your Unit-Specific Terms or local law require otherwise.

We had a fantastic time!

The view and the condo complex are excellent. This was our second time to Crystal Towers. We will be back to the complex again. This condo was clean and had nice extras like a wagon to carry things to the beach.

Overall 4.5/5

We loved this place. Great views and close to everything. However, our unit was a little dusty. Seemed like the counters in every room were not wiped off. Sand everywhere and on furniture, which I understand being at the beach but it was an excessive amount of sand. Also, need to have some thicker bedding. I froze every night with the thin, sheet-like material we had for a blanket. Wish there was free parking as well. We paid $20 per night to park. Also, the elevator near the pool was out of order so if you have a buggy or someone in a wheelchair, you can’t get down easily unless picked up and walked down the 2 flights of stairs.

Lovely stay with an AMAZING view. I would note before booking is the paid parking. We paid $40 for a two night stay. It’s not a crazy price for a vacation spot, but something I would have appreciated to know when booking/budgeting. Also, this rental is on the 20th floor, and elevators are routinely out of service. There was always at least one working, but the wait can get fairly long. We really did enjoy our stay. The view is gorgeous and there are so many things to do on and off property.
