Location and amenties are excellent. The property needs some updating, but that's our personal preference. It did not detract from our stay at all.We have been to Gulf Shores the past three winters and stayed in three different places. This is easily our favorite and we will schedule this spot again.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was clean overall. The children's sheets on both beds had sand in them. The toilet was running and the dryer was not working well. The fire alarm began beeping but was fixed, along with the toilet by maintenance.

The floors were nasty in some areas of the condo, broken patio furniture, broken shower curtain, clogged drain in the shower. The microwave sounds like it is going to take off when it starts. The kitchen was not equipped to cook in so we had to borrow utensils from our parents who were in a beautiful unit a few floors above us. We were made fully aware there was to be no early checkin but 20 min before our checkout time housekeeping was banging on the door wanting us out and she stood outside our door until we left. The majority of the time that we were laying out by the small pool there were pesky kids throwing food and water bottles off the balconies. Overall I would not recommend this unit and would not stay there again

We are repeat offenders ( HA) Visiting the gulf coast every summer. This was our first visit to Crystal Towers. I read the other reviews prior to booking and felt a little apprehensive. I had no reason. Arrived at 4pm. The condo was spotless. No sticky floors as previously mentioned. The beds were comfortable enough. The twin beds have sheets of plywood as support. I guess. But the mattress was comfortable enough. The couch/loveseat was a bit rough. But, I don't vacation to sit on the couch so we made due. If your looking for plush/ comfort here it's a miss. But, again, my time is spent out at the beach or doing other activities. The bathrooms were clean and smelled fresh. No rogue hairs or toenails. The master bedroom was welcoming and comfortable. Plenty of plates/ pots/pans. They had forgotten to leave linens in the master bathroom, however left enough in the hall bath we just washed them. The walkway to the beach was wonderful. The pools got crowded, but were clean and well maintained. Security was pleasant and comforting knowing that they definitely made rounds. We will return next summer, and we will definitely look at rebooking this condo if it's available for our week.

The condo was nice! Furniture inside and on the balcony needs to be updated and kitchen dishes need to be replaced and replenished! The coffee cups are the size of cups for a tea party and there were no baking pans!! The bedding in both rooms needs to be replaced as well! As far as the elevators go, horrible! This place has 20 floors and only 3 elevators to move all of its guest up and down & the elevators are broken most of the time!! On Saturday we were not there all day but all 3 elevators were not working most of the day and there was a fire truck there to help get people out of the elevator. It took us two hours to bring all of our stuff down to load up and leave on check out day! Thankfully I was able to check out on time. There were two occasions during our week long stay that people were stuck in the elevator.

The condo itself really needed to be updated. The furniture was out of date, and the place needed a thorough cleaning from top to bottom. Otherwise, it was a nice place to stay.

I have stayed at the Crystal Tower a few times., and this is the first time I have stayed in this unit. The location is fantastic. The pools and the beach access are great! The condo needs some love. The furniture needs to all be replaced. The couch is falling apart and the beds are rough. The kitchen appliances are well past their prime. For a little more money you can get a better property at the Crystal Tower, but this one will do.

We would not recommend this condo. It is by far the most outdated condo we have ever stayed in and it is not very clean. Our bed sheets were torn, a comforter had stains on it. There was sand in the beds. Our feet stuck to the tile floor. The patio had left ovwe Sunflower seeds on it with a nasty rug in one corner with broken, dirty patio furniture. The couch pillows were ripped. Dirty dishes put away in cabinets. Stains on the curtains and towels. The beds were terrible, like sleeping on springs. We would stay at Crystal Towers again, but not in 704. The owners should be ashamed.

We were unhappy with our stay. I spent the first few days cleaning the unit enough for my family to feel comfortable. Getting our luggage to the room took over an hour with the elevator problems. After walking through the unit, the bottoms of everyone’s feet were turning black. The tile was so dirty and filmy, you could stand in place and do a split. It was quickly apparent that this place was getting a minimal amount of cleaning. The bed in the master makes the loudest noises when you shift at all. Mattresses were firm and uncomfortable. Lampshade was broken in many places. In the master bathroom, the vanity looked nice. The bathtub had two different holes in it. It looks like they unsuccessfully tried to repair it. Black mold spores above shower due to weak ventilation. Bathtub drain was backed up. (I later bought a screwdriver and removed a hair clog from the drain that was as big as my fist.) Cleaned the tub and the whole family just used that one since the other tub was gross and had no stopper, although this one didn’t hold water for long either. The second bedroom had two twin beds with drawers beneath the mattresses. They were broken and misaligned. Spilled drinks on wall, bed frames and baseboards. Dresser drawers caved in, random painters tape on the walls. Nightstand drawer was soiled with stains inside. The couches were rough looking and uncomfortable. The leather ottoman/coffee table had holes and gouges in the cover. Round glass top table with 4 placemats and 3 chairs, so I had to eat at the bar while my family sat at the table.The listing shows 4 chairs. The kitchen was stocked sparsely, mismatched lids to pots and pans. No coffee mugs, just tiny tea cups. The loudest dishwasher. It had 2 microwaves in the kitchen. A countertop one added instead of replacing the range one, which just takes up counter space. The balcony floor was soiled and stained. The patio furniture was cracked, mismatched and dirty. The listing showed a nice patio set with a clean deck.. It was saddening to walk through this unit and see all the problems while charging you rates that lead you to believe you’ll be entering into a nice, clean, safe place for your family. During Covid, this is especially concerning. I would never rent this unit again, and I wasn’t going to spend my vacation on the phone scheduling maintenance to fix things that are obvious prior to our check-in.

We really enjoyed the beach , the view, and all the amenities. Except the skywalk was closed and had been for awhile, which was not disclosed. We were not pleased with the condo at all, the furniture was very grungy , the bed was horribly uncomfortable and the blankets were awful. The patio furniture and our door light were broken and unkept. The cleanliness of the unit was seriously lacking. I would stay at this property again but never this condo.

The room was clean and had a nice view. I knew I had to bring toiletries, but I didn’t think about things such as scissors and a pizza cutter. The beds were uncomfortable. But, it was a nice room with a nice view.

Seemed like a trailer in the middle of a upper-scale neighborhood. Lobby area and pools were perfect, very pretty and landscaping was very nice. The condo its self was horrible. Not explained very well about how to get the key. Coffee maker broken, microwave sounded like a plane was landing in the kitchen. Dust was so thick, not sure it was really cleaned. Pillows missing pillow cases. Every light was missing 2-3 light bulbs. Drawers broken. Spin cycle on washer was horribly loud. Rugs were very dirty. Bathrooms had mold growing and not cleaned. Kitchen was ok, not stocked with lots, but it worked. View was nice and had a large balcony, but with broken table and chairs. Walking across the sky walk was not bad at all. I have pictures of everything, would not recommend this unit unless it was majorly updated.

We really loved the condo and the Crystal Towers property. Great location and great amenities! The only issue was not getting parking passes and bracelets for 2 days, after calling a million times. ALBVR was the least favorite rental I’ve ever worked with. Also, 10 am is the earliest checkout I’ve ever had, and the cleaning ladies were knocking on my door before 9 :(

10/10

This place was beautiful. The view is perfect. The room was perfect and clean. Not a single complaint besides the checking in process. Make sure you know what a “lock box” is and how to “scramble the code” because that’s how you get your key to your room. We had to call someone (property manager) to tell us where the “lock box” was located, because we didn’t understand exactly. But overall, the stay was perfect. You don’t “check in” with a person. You follow the instructions. Make sure you comprehend and understand. You want a 5 star room and view? This place is it.

To start, there was no key in the lock box and we had to go to the front desk and they had a spare. On the surface it looked good. It needs some updating. Rather dated. Had to call for new cookware, the set that was provided was so old and gross we didn't want to use it. Called and asked for replacement and that was taken care of the next day. Needs a deep cleaning, master toilet was gross under the rim, shower took a long time to drain, ceramic tile needs to be steam cleaned or something. Furniture is in terrible shape. We made due. Overall we enjoyed our stay with our friends, and would book again at Crystal Towers.
