IMPORTANT FALL 2026 PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT NOTICE

Crystal Shores West will be completing a major breezeway and walkway restoration project this fall to refresh and improve the appearance of the building.

From October 12 through November 8, 2026, the building will remain open and rentals are permitted, but guests should be aware that there may be daytime construction noise, dust, workers, and temporary inconvenience in the breezeway areas.

The building will then be completely closed from November 9 through November 22, 2026, while the final coating work is completed and allowed to cure. We have blocked those dates and are not accepting reservations during the closure.

Once completed, the newly resurfaced breezeways and walkways should provide a cleaner, refreshed appearance and help keep Crystal Shores West looking great for years to come.

Please contact us before booking if you have any questions about how the work may affect your stay.

Our stay at the condo was wonderful. We loved the condo location and how close it was to the beach! All the rooms were clean and so comfortable! We really enjoyed being able to go to the beach and then mid-day come back to the condo for a quick lunch then back to the beach! Sitting on the balcony in the morning and evening was so relaxing. Wonderful place and we will definitely go back!

We had an absolutely magical weekend at this charming beach place. The space was spotless, cozy, and perfectly stocked with everything we needed—from fresh linens to a fully equipped kitchen. Nestled in a peaceful condominium that felt like our own private retreat, yet just minutes from events, water sports, local eateries, etc. Also, security staff on the property are very friendly. We’ll definitely be back—10/10 recommend for a relaxing getaway!

This year was the 5th time we rented a place to get out of the Michigan winter. The CSW condo was the best by far. For my wife and I, the condo was perfect. The view is wonderful, seeing dolphins most morning. The kitchen perfectly equipped. The entire condo is clean (better than any we have experienced).Gulf Shores and the area has plenty to do and see. We eat at several very good restaurants, some within walking distance. Our host is a good communicator, easy / nice to work with. We have only good things to say about our host and this condo. We definitely recommend this condo. We will rent again.

Very clean, comfortable and well stocked unit. Easy, quick access to beach. Exceptional ocean view with large balcony. Walking distance or very short drive to many great restaurants, shopping and fun. Would highly recommend—was perfect for our trip with grown kids but would be just as good for younger ones as well.
