This is a west-end unit in Crystal Shores directly on the gulf so of course, the view is gorgeous. There are tall chairs with the table on the balcony--so no looking through the railing. There are also 3 adirondack type chairs with foot stools that are good for relaxing. The one issue that needs attention is the lack of seating in the TV area. (this was not a problem for us as we never turned the TV on) but if the weather was not good &/or you enjoyed TV viewing during your stay----unless you sit at the table---there is no seating other than the sofa. I definitely wouldn't want more than 4 adults staying in the unit--even though it's approved for 6. The beds were comfortable. Vacasa provides starter soap, lotion, & paper products.
Manager response:
Thank you for your feedback. We will be sure to bring your comments about the seating to the attention of the local staff and the owner. We appreciate your comments and helping us improve for our future guests.

This was the perfect condo for my husband, myself, and our adult son. It was roomy, comfortable, and very clean. The balcony was spacious and had comfortable chairs and a table. The only seating in the living room is a couch, so if you have more than three people, it may not be a comfortable space.

The only reason I have this a 4 star instead of a 5 is because when we checked in we found broken beer bottles on the balcony under the chairs and broken pieces off the chairs. We have little ones and we’re thankful that We found it right off the bat and they didn’t get glass in their foot. There was also lots and lots of sand on the balcony. Therefore that was not cleaned at all. Also one of our fobs didn’t work so we weren’t able to get into the gate after getting al the way there we had to go all the way back up to get a working fob. Other than those two things though it was a great experience. Very beautiful!
Manager response:
We appreciate your feedback following your stay, Donetta. While we are glad you enjoyed your stay at our home, we are so sorry to hear about the cleanliness issues on the balcony of the property. Thank you for bringing this to our attention so our local manager can follow up with the housekeepers to ensure they are paying close attention to detail. We hope we can host you again!

Nice location right on the beach. Well appointed condo. It had beach chairs, wagon, umbrella all the necessities for the beach. Had one small maintenance issue and they were very prompt in handling the tripped breaker. Would definitely book again.

We had a wonderful visit to Gulf Shores December 26 -30, and enjoyed our accommodations at Crystal Shores #707. The weather was terrific which allowed for beach and balcony time! The only negative for the condo is the lack of seating in the living space. For a condo that can sleep 6-8, the living space only provided a couch which provides seating for 3 at the most. Additional seating in the living space (other than the beautiful dining table) would provide much more comfort for those enjoying the condo.
Manager response:
Betty, we are happy to hear you had a wonderful Christmas stay! Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We apologize for the lack of seating in the living space. We have passed your comment along to our local manager who will work with the homeowner to make any updates. We look forward to hosting you again!
