About the Property
Please know the daily rate is something asked for by HomeEscape but I only rent weekly and that daily rates is only close to accurate 10% of the time!! Only there because they require it.
I also have a second unit at Crystal Shores here on Homeescape #58709636. Unit 706 it is 4 levels higher and an inside unit for those looking to save a little bit on rental costs.

STUNNING, SOPHISTICATED, UPDATED CONDO Unit 307 is a premier 2 bedroom 2 bath condominium located in the gorgeous 14 story Crystal Shores complex within walking distance of shopping, dinner, drinks and more.
If you are looking for a bargain price or a last minute special on a rental property, this is not the unit for you. This is not a rental property but a property that I rent. If you opt for the Beach Chair Upgrade Option, add $66.60 to the bottom line of the quote. My goal is to provide an exceptional vacation experience as to your accommodations while in Gulf Shores. There are more expensive as well as cheaper units available in Crystal Shores but few if any will match 307 as to the quality of the vacation experience delivered for the money you spend. That it is my only objective... the best value for the money.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION - This breathtaking 3rd floor West corner unit directly overlooks the pool, the beach boardwalk, and you are only 30 seconds away from the work out and game room facilities! You can take the stairs directly outside this unit and be at the pool within 1 minute and literally be on the beach within 2 minutes and in Gulf in less than 3 minutes. This unit comes has 1 reserved covered (no sun/hail damage) parking space within 50 feet of the 2 elevators. A second additional parking space is available in the non-reserved portion of the parking area if needed for an additional $22.
Crystal Shores is one of the newer (2004) 2 bedroom condominium complexes on the quieter West Beach sitting directly on the white sand beaches of Gulf Shores. Complete with an indoor/outdoor pool, hot tub, dry sauna, work-out room with TV’s allowing you to easily overlook both the beach and the pool! The game room is equipped with both pool and foosball tables for your enjoyment off the beach. WIFI Internet is included as is NETFLIX for those occasional rainy days when you have to stay in so no need to run to the store for Redbox. Charcoal grills are available for our guests use as well but you must bring your own charcoal/starter/lighter. Rental chaise lounges/umbrella's are available March to November from a 3rd party for $180/week.
This a corner unit with 9 ft ceilings so it has a light and airy feeling to it. I have updated, upgraded, and up-scaled from top to bottom! I have elected to appoint this unit very comfortably for 4 adults (1 King and 1 Queen bed). I only rent weekly and only Saturday to Saturday. There are plenty of other units in Crystal Shores allowing parties of 6 or shorter duration stays but I do not as no one really enjoys a weeks vacation on a sleeper sofa! This unit has chair height toilet bowls.
Upscale bedding is in both bedrooms which have “Ecowood” tile floors and sisal carpet runners. Both bedrooms feature flat screen TV's.
The main room has a 43” Samsung Plasma with Dish TV and a BluRay/NETFLIX/DVD/CD player. There are granite top tables and 2 recliners (one rocks & swivels) completing the furnishings in the main room.
The dining room set has 4 leather chairs and an alligator glass topped table with 2 more matching bar chairs. Again my focus is a great vacation space for up to 4 persons.
The kitchen is fully stocked, has both granite counters and granite/stone/glass tile back splash for those who savor cooking, an upscale cozy space to do so. All new GE appliances as of December 2018.
The in unit laundry room features upgraded full size Maytag Bravos HE washer and dryer with a drying rack, an iron and ironing board with the laundry detergent provided. The sheets and towels are replaced annually with 600 count equivalent microfiber and plush towels. Both providing a difference you will feel!
My unit has been furnished with a rich mixture of colors, textures, with original art work throughout. The well-appointed living and dining rooms boast style, function, and comfort. One thing you must experience in person however is the sunsets from this corner unit as they do not readily translate into either pictures or words. Whether you have stayed at Crystal Shores before or not, please take a moment to read the comments from my guests as to their stay at Unit 307 as I work very hard to make your stay at my condo truly exceptional!
The balcony directly overlooks the beach and the pool, and no unit is closer to both. On the balcony or inside with the doors open you will hear AND SEE the surf cascading onto the white sand beaches. It is furnished with a selection of 4 HDPE captains chairs, 2 with a connecting table so as to provide a view above the railings. 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 a great unobstructed view of the sunset on the beach as effective 1-1-2016 items left on the beach will be considered abandoned by the City of Gulf Shores and disposed of at your expense. www.cleanisland.org
In order to accommodate some guest requests I now offer an upgrade option for $66.60/week. This upgrade provides: 4 folding wood rocking chairs with headrests as well as a cup/cellphone phone holder. 4 Beach Towels. 2 wireless speakers for IPOD (yours) or my MP3 player with over 800 'best of' 70's and 80's tunes included. 1 George Foreman electric outdoor grill for use on the balcony, a 3 gallon compressor so you can blow up your beach items daily as desired, and a cooler for the beach. This upgrade is included free of charge from the first full week in November until the end of the year. Please do not leave the chairs/towels/umbrellas/etc. on the beach unattended at any time..
I live in Gulf Shores so you can expect it to be very clean, completely stocked (soap/paper products/cleaners), and in good condition upon your arrival, no excuses. If there is an issue or one that comes up, I live only 5 miles away. There are no pets allowed at Crystal Shores except for owners. This is a non-smoking unit as well including the balcony. There is community use smoking balcony available on the second level.
While I appreciate your interest in my unit I do not entertain/accept/reply to discounted offers. If you have a limited budget to spend I would be happy to help you with some suggestions perhaps for other complexes to consider.
ALL RENTALS ARE WEEKLY AND RUN SATURDAY TO SATURDAY. RATES DO VARY BY WEEK.
DEPOSIT - The Deposit would be in addition to the Rental Rate and a $300 deposit is required to hold a date for a weekly or daily rental. A $600 deposit is required for a rental lasting 4 or more weeks.
Check in time is 2:30 PM and check out time is 8:30 AM. There are shower/changing facilities on the second floor should you choose to arrive earlier and/or stay later on that Saturday but the reserved parking space transfers to the next renter at 8;30 AM on day of departure.
The condo association does not allow RV's or trailers on the property.
CALENDAR - Please consult the calendar for available dates as it is ALWAYS current. No dates are held w/o paid deposit via PayPal. I use PayPal for all Deposits. The use of PayPal allows you to insure your dates are immediately held upon your approval of the invoice and contract terms. You do not have to have a PayPal account as PayPal supports AMEX/Discover/MasterCard/Visa.
Once paid in full you will be sent an email prior to your arrival with an access code to the key less lock. There is a key box back-up available should that be needed for any reason. The parking pass(es) will be inside on the counter so nothing to forget and nothing to pick-up or return. Most deposits are processed within 24 hrs via US Mail/BillPay and are typically received within 8-12 days of your departure..
Vacations should be simple and relaxing so I've tried to make that true from the moment you view this listing to the moment you get an email notification your deposit has already been processed once you've left Gulf Shores.
Best of luck with your vacation plans in Gulf Shores.

I purchased this property in November of 2011 with the intention to rent it to adults and it is furnished as such. Your children are welcome but there are no games/toys/floaties/beach pails provided with this unit so please be sure to bring those types of items with you if they are needed. There are literally thousands of condo's available for rental in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. The goal for this condo was specifically to create an environment where vacation memories would be created for a party of 4. As of May 2012 I relocated from IL and now live in Gulf Shores so as to be able to personally provide the cleaning and maintenance for my unit and a few others at this complex. There are no 3rd party maintenance or cleaning people involved with my unit. This is not my vacation home that I rent out to help cover the costs. The left over furniture and dishes end up in my home and the new furnishings and linens end up here! If you are looking to make vacation memories with your loved ones, I am literally here now to help you accomplish that while staying at my unit.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION...Please read my guests reviews as to why Unit 307. Gulf Shores has beautiful fine white sand beaches, some of the best in the US. Crystal Shores is one of the premier properties having year round amenities and within walking distance to a number of places to eat or shop. Forgot toothpaste, the Pier 33 grocery store is within a 5 minute walk for just such occasions. Crystal Shores is a nice location within Gulf Shores... close but not too close to everything. Within Crystal Shores, unit 307 has the best location. It is an end unit with an unobstructed view down the beach to the west. You can look down onto the pool/hut tub and close enough to actually speak to someone below without shouting from the balcony. The work out and game room as well as the sauna are literally right below. The reserved covered parking space is about 50-60 feet from the 2 elevators and the second floor parking access is even closer just up 1 flight of stairs. Down those same stairs the beach is less than 2 minutes away from this unit.... and that is at a leisurely pace. After all you are on vacation while here! While I can't control the weather or the traffic, I do clean and maintain my own unit personally so I can and do control what you will experience inside of the unit while you are here. If you read the reviews, most have been kind enough to comment as to the quality of the amenities and level of cleanliness they observed. I very much listen to what my guests say they need and to the extent I can, make improvements/adjustments. Should you decide to stay here, hopefully you too will also notice and comment on those differences. From the start Crystal Shores 307 was never meant to be just another rental property. I do not treat my guests as renters and I do not expect my guests to treat this as a rental unit either. If that sounds like the vacation experience you are seeking, I look forward to providing that for you!
Unique Benefits
The beautiful white sand beaches are literally 1 to 2 minutes away from this unit as is the pool, the sauna, the the hot tub, the game room, the work out facilities and your car in a reserved covered parking space. Best of all however is the view to the west. No way to describe it short of breathtaking! When you stay at Crystal Shores 307, you feel like you are at the beach... not just looking at

We have been to #307 two years in a row and will likely be back at least once more. The unit is first class all the way but even more important is that the owner is also first class all the way. Thanks for another wonderful vacation.

We have rented Crystal Shores 307 from Michael many times and consider this location, unit and host perfect. The communication with Michael via phone, text, or email has always been immediate. He is so easy to work with and has thought of everything a guest would need and enjoy during a stay. The unit is always very clean and beautifully decorated. The 3rd floor location allows us to use the steps for easy beach going and a great view from the porch. We will definitely choose this unit and host again and again.

We have been vacationing at Gulf Shores for 17 years and this was our 5th time to stay at Crystal Shores and our first in 307. We always select an "07" unit in order to catch the sunset over the lagoon. Michael's unit was by far the best unit we have stayed in ... he has it decorated so nice that it feels like you are staying in a home and not a hodge podge of beach furniture. The kitchen was fully stocked. In fact there are things that we usually pack because they don't have them in other condos, but Michael has provided them. We do cook in our unit throughout the week and there were plenty of pots and pans and "Tupperware" for left overs. That is something that IS NOT in other units ... usually only one pot and one pan and no cookie sheets for biscuits! We had a few questions about the new policies at Crystal Shores and Michael answered all our questions and provided even more information that we knew to ask! We have a 15 hour drive to get to the beach and we were so comfortable upon arriving that it felt like home. We arrived about 2 hours early and Michael was finishing the final cleaning details, but was so nice and polite and offered us keys to head to the beach and/or game room. The unit was clean and smelled really fresh. Even the patio window was clean ... no more packing the Windex! If you are new to Gulf Shores and are considering staying on the "West Side" ... which in our opinion is the "Best Side" please consider staying in 307. You will not be disappointed!

Owner's Response: Thanks so much... From day one I have made an effort to NOT feel like a rental unit but like that of a good friend. Michael

This condo is fabulous! We have stayed here 3 times and each time the condo has been exactly what we needed. Very nicely decorated, extremely clean and everything we need while on the beach. Thank you Michael for being so attentive to us - even when we forget to pack all our belongings!!! We are looking forward to more stays in 307 at Crystal Shores!!!

Very, very nice unit and owner!

I have been coming to Gulf Shores for almost 35 years now and I must say, this is hands-down, one of the nicest units I've ever stayed in. Michael's attention to detail is outstanding. The unit is furnished in the latest style and extremely comfortable. He said I would like staying in a corner and unit and I did - it's well away from the elevator so absolutely no noise! Unlike a lot of vacationers, I like to cook even during my down time. That has been challenging with past stays in different developments. Even cracking a can of biscuits and baking them was hard due to the lack of cookware essentials. Not so here - the kitchen is fully stocked with very nice cookware, implements and dishes. He even provided dishwasher detergent, liquid soap, etc. Not so in other units! He was easy to deal with and very responsive to any communication between us. Stay here - you won't be sorry!

Owner's Response: Michelle, Thanks for the review. I work hard at making my guests stay as nice as possible and try to furnish and provide the things I would want when on vacation not the cheapest thing possible. Just the opposite. Thanks again and hope to see you back some day! Michael
Owner's Response: Michelle, Details matter and when you stay in my property and I'm glad after 35 years you've found my unit. Hope to see you back again soon! Michael
