The property provided everything we needed, from spacious rooms, bathrooms for everyone, beautiful beach steps away, and a pool for late night swimming. We only had one issue with a door not closing properly to the balcony, but they came out quickly after our request for repair and it was taken care of that day. Great responsiveness from the management team made for easy answers to our questions, and a comfortable stay. I highly recommend! ##### Scott V.

The interior was relaxing, it was not cluttered, the color scheme was calming. The beach is beautiful and "raked" daily. If you are flying and don't have space in your luggage for beach chairs, you can rent 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella for the day for a reasonable cost. They will be set up for you on the beach in front the of the condo with your name on them. From check-in to check-out the stay was seamless. A few places to check out while during your stay Happy Pappy's coffee shop and The Wharf. A few kitchen items that would be appreciated are a knife sharpener and a large cutting board (for fruits/veggies).We would definitely stay here again. ##### Jessica R.

This place is so gorgeous, clean and spacious. Pictures and description are spot on. We stayed during Hurricane Helene and the gulf shores were not affected minus 2 days we could not get in the ocean, but that’s ok we still sat on the beach and listened to the waves. It is one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever been on!!! We will definitely be coming back next year and hope to stay at this same place! Property managers were texting me updates before we flew out about the tropical storm/hurricane and that this area was not under evacuation. Such a great and tentative property management company!!!! I highly recommend people come stay at Crystal Shores West! ##### Melissa B.

There is everything you need to enjoy your stay. Watch out for the chair rental people on the beach. They wanted to charge us $45 for 1 hour to sit there. Other than that the unit was easy to get to. Easy to get to the beach. Very nice views from the 13th floor. Corner unit was the best!! Can’t wait to come back. Thank you again. ##### Kim M.

The view was breathtaking. Our vacation was lovely. The property management company, Alabama Getaways, was less than ideal to work with. The many methods of communication were confusing, and communication within the company also seems like it could use some fine-tuning. If we find ourselves in Alabama again, I would put effort into avoiding working with them. ##### Taryn G.

The rooms were spacious and the views were awesome!! We had a mishap with garage parking, we had two vehicles and two parking passes. We parked in the garage on our final night due to rain, both spaces were marked with our condo number (one marked on the wall, the other marked on the ground); however, our second vehicle had a note on it this morning to indicate it was mis-parked. Be careful with the confusing parking spots in the garage. Aside from that, WE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED OUR STAY!! ##### Kimberley G.

A family vacation we will never forget! A heated indoor pool & exercise room also. 3 bathrooms & 3 bedrooms made it so nice for entire family! Views from all 3 rooms amazing views from 13th floor. Washer, dryer, and dishwasher. Nice table with 6 sturdy chairs for family dining. Nice couch with lovely rug and swivel chair plus recliner, tv in each room. Need I say more? Best Place Ever! Memories to last a lifetime! ##### Diane L.

(2) the building elevators ceased working on 2 separate days resulting in climbing up 15 flights of stairs; however, George from the HOA used an emergency feature of the elevator to transport our luggage and us to our car on the day of departure.
