***WE CAN NOW OFFER A DISCOUNT TO OUR ALREADY LOW RATES. PLEASE CALL DIRECTLY FOR MORE INFORMATION!***This unit is owned and operated by sisters who care about the details of our property and work to provide you with the best vacation experience possible.Seeing is believing and the views from this 13th floor unit are amazing! This previously private residence has been updated throughout to be a classic vacation home for you and your family. Crystal Shores is one of the newer (2004) condominium complexes on the quieter West Beach and located within walking distance of several shopping and dining choices. The building offers an indoor/outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, game room and work out area directly overlooking the beach. Charcoal grills are available for our guests but you must provide your own charcoal/starter.Our unit has 9ft. ceilings and an uncluttered layout for an open, airy feel. We have updated and upgraded many items recently so the unit feels fresh. Upgrades include curved shower curtain rods (for more space in the shower), new adjustable shower heads, new goose neck pull-out kitchen faucet and new HE washer and dryer units. We elected to appoint this unit very comfortably for 6 ( 1 Queen bed, 2 twin beds and one Queen sleeper sofa). Plush mattress toppers and upgraded linens on all beds, brand new towels throughout; we also provide dark washcloths for our guests removing makeup. We do have a vacuum and electric dust mop for any cleaning needs. The living area features a 36" flat screen Vizio TV and DVD player, the master bedroom has a 32" flat screen VizioTV and the second bedroom has an 18" flat screen TV/DVD player. Free WIFI is available, password provided prior to arrival. Both bedrooms feature ultra quiet ceiling fans. Our unit has been painted with a relaxing color, and features casual chic furnishings. The well appointed living rooms provide a comfortable setting for you to relax while viewing the horizon. The dining table seats four and three seats are available at the kitchen bar. The kitchen features granite counter tops, stainless appliances and items needed to cook meals or just enjoy snacks and beverages. The in-unit laundry area features a brand new full size washer and dryer with a drying rack, iron and ironing board. Starter supplies of toilet paper, paper towels, soap, laundry detergent and garbage bags are provided. The balcony directly overlooks the beach and the view of the Gulf is spectacular... you can see both dolphins and rays swim past easily from up high. The balcony is furnished with a selection of chairs and tables. During the hot summer months you remain cool in the shade. During the cooler winter months you will feel the warmth of the sun relaxing in those same chairs providing you with great view of the sunset on the beach. And don't forget about star-gazing from this great balcony after dark!We do offer a rental chair package for our guests; we have four new beach chairs for $35 a week. If needed, we can provide two additional "used" chairs free of charge. Please see below for other chair rental options.Rental chaise lounges/umbrella's are available March to November from a 3rd party for about $140/week. As of 1/1/2016 Gulf Shores has stated they will commence to enforce a clean beach policy so all tents/chairs, etc. must be removed 1 hr after sundown. Beach chair concessions that have a business license will have have 1-2 more years before they too will be required to clear the beach each night. This is being done so the city can groom the beach and in part to protect sea turtle nesting. For more information contact the City of Gulf Shores http://www.gulfshoresal.gov/beaches Ph: 251-968-2040.When you arrive at our unit, you can expect to find it very clean, completely stocked (soap/paper products/cleaners), and in good condition, as that is what we want for ourselves!!There are no pets allowed at Crystal Shores except for owners.
