This beautiful condo is positioned in direct view of the beach side pool area and the Gulf itself. It also has great views of the Lagoon and the sunset. Even though it is across from the beach, sitting in the living area, you would never know it.
Also, Crystal Tower has an indoor heated pool to enjoy as well....

This unit is above any units directly on the beach and centered just right to make you think you are sitting right over the water. The deck view allows you to watch the kids at the condo-side pool and see those who have taken the air-conditioned cross walk over to the pool itself. Pictures from the deck and pools are great, too!

Crystal Tower offers a full gym and a sauna for you to enjoy ...This condominium has something for everyone!!

Good wifi. Clean unit. Several knives need to be replaced. Beds comfy. We misunderstood & thought condo was directly on beach. After walking over, however, the beach was great! A very tiny suggestion- need bigger coffee mugs. Overall, We had a Great Vacation.

The check-in was very easy and efficient. We loved the view from our balcony. Having my two grandchildren ( 2 year old and 5 year old) it made it a little more difficult going to the beach and the pool. However they enjoyed the experience of the elevators .

We have never stayed on this side of Orange Beach since visiting for 25 years; but, it won’t be the last. I will be checking this location next time we visit. Great location, traffic not as bad, beautiful views, and amenities are perfect. Indoor pool, 2 outdoor pools, weight room, dry sauna, we used them all! We brought 2 of our grandsons and they had a blast and didn’t want to leave. Great vacation!!!

Couldn't Ask for Better!

Absolutely perfect stay! This beach VRBO was everything we hoped for and more. The location was ideal—just a short drive to the baseball tournament fields, which made travel easy and stress-free. The property itself was spotless and well-maintained, with plenty of space to relax after long game days. We especially loved the pool areas—they were clean, refreshing, and never too crowded. Beach access was quick and convenient, just a short walk away. The host was fantastic and communicated clearly and promptly every step of the way. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Great condo. We were in town for a weekend of soccer, so we were only in the condo long enough to shower and sleep each night, but I wish we had longer to relax, as the view is great, and everything was extremely comfortable. Master bedroom has a Sleep Number bed! Life changing in a rental unit! Hoping to have a reason to be back! Thank you for having us!
