Crystal Shores West 1008 by Youngs Suncoast

Great location! Very easy to access the beach and other property amenities!

We liked the condition and functionality of the property. It was clean, and rooms were very comfortable. The weather kept us from enjoying the amenities like the pool outdoors and the hot tub. The indoor amenities were too busy but there were more residents and not enough room for us to all use them no matter the time of. That is really my only complaint.

The condo was great. The view was perfect. Loved being right on the beach. We like the new design on the pool. Looked nice but the water was much colder than previous years. It says it was heated but did not feel like it. Over all we loved it

The stay at CSW went very well! The room was clean, the walk to the beach was very short, and the pool was perfect for our toddler with the walk in low area! I would highly recommend this place to stay at!

Our stay was fine except for one thing. My husband Steve has had several spinal fusion surgeries so he is not able to go into the ocean because of the strong waves. He was really looking forward to using the pool and whirlpool. Both were closed for remodeling. That was our only complaint.

This clean, updated property was perfectly suited for our family of four. Check in was seamless with ample parking both in the lot and in the covered parking (unmarked spots only) We were grateful for the various carts available on the ground floor to get all of our items in one trip. The balcony views were amazing. We were able to spot dolphins and sting rays on several different mornings. Two things we noticed was the garbage disposal wasn't working and there was no hair dryer. Someone came to repair the garbage disposal before we even reached out to let someone know it wasnt working which was great. We did contact the host regarding the hair dryer and we were told that someone would bring one but they never did. It wasn't a big deal. The older gentleman that worked security was very helpful. We ran into him several times and he provided helpful information regarding parking and wristbands. The location was great for walking to Pier 33 and Bahama Bob's. We also walked down to The Hangout several evenings (it took about 30 minutes) and enjoyed the live music and walking back on thr beach. We all loved it and hope to return!

Our stay was excellent!! 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!!

This was one of our favorite condos. The views were amazing and we loved the layout. We stayed during New Year's eve so getting an elevator was not a problem; however, during the busy summer months, it could be an issue with only 2 elevators.

My family and I had a great time even though it rained a lot. Location is convenient. The views were amazing from every part of the condo. The place was perfect and looked exactly as advertised. My only complaint about the condo is the door to the balcony in the master bedroom would not lock. The shower in the master is amazing. I had all 3 showerheads on me at the same time. It was like the water was massaging me. Lol we never found sheets for the pull out sofa but there were plenty of extra blankets that worked just fine. We didn’t have room in the car to brink our beach chairs. We were so happy to see there were some in the room already. There were also beach toys, shovels, buckets and a beach ball. We added wiffle ball and rackets to the beach toys there. The kitchen had everything we needed and I loved the sink. 3 things I didn’t love. The room is located by the trash shoot. Smelled slightly gross to me but no one else with me cared. The elevators are so slow! I mean so so slow. On Saturday it was terrible trying to go up any down. And last, it rained very hard yesterday so we relocated to the pool only to be told that it was closed. That was very disappointing. But we found games in the room and still had a great time. We would love to stay here again. This is definitely one of the nicest condos we’ve ever vacationed in. Thanks so much for letting us stay.

The property was clean & lovely decor with a great view! 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!

The condo looked exactly like the online pictures. Everything was clean and in good shape. The proximity to the beach was perfect. We will definitely stay here again.

The condo was beautiful and spotless, just as advertised. Management was quick to respond to messages and incredibly friendly. Even met the housekeepers as we were departing, and they were extremely friendly. We couldn't be happier with our choice to stay in the condo. We will most certainly be back. You will not regret choosing this place.

Stay was nice, floors needed to be swept but Condo very nice!

The stay at CSW went very well! The room was clean, the walk to the beach was very short, and the pool was perfect for our toddler with the walk in low area! I would highly recommend this place to stay at!

The condo was clean, tastefully decorated, plenty of room, incredible balcony, great location on the beach, & within walking distance of sevetal restaurants. The host was helpful & quick to respond to my many questions. I highly recommend this condo.

Condo was as advertised. We did not use pool or anything. Beds were comfortable and clean. Kitchen well stocked. Would definitely rent again

We had 0 complaints about our stay! It was wonderful. Condo was clean, and everything was just perfect.

Room was not clean

There are only two things about the location that could be improved. The floors are always dirty, so it would be nice if housekeeping could give them a good mopping. The TV in the sitting room is of very poor quality and could stand to be improved. On the good side , Young's Suncoast is always responsive and helpful. We enjoy using the facility.

Wonderful condo—very clean and easy to move around in. Great views of the water and the beach! Have stayed there before and would stay there again!

This condo is nearly perfect! The only negative thing I can comment on is the comfort of the bed in the master bedroom. The mattress was tolerable but does need to be replaced. Another guest commented on the recliner that isn't in the best shape cosmetically but at least it is comfortable so I had no issues there. The location and the views from multiple windows throughout (including the bedrooms) as well as the expansive balcony with views of the ocean AND the bay across the highway were AMAZING! We also appreciated that each bedroom had its own full bathroom.

Each room has a great view & was fully equipped with all we needed for 8 guests.

We loved being steps away to the white sandy beaches and having a beach front balcony to listen to the guilf waves. The building was older but still very nice. Our condo needed some updating like replacing the old, stained, bleached carpet in the bedrooms and it would have been nice to provide a day or two of coffee and filters and an extra roll of toilet paper in the guest bathroom. There were no beach towels, coolers or umbrella. There was a shelling utensil and a bucket.

We really enjoyed the view and large balcony!!!! This condo was also very well stocked .. fans , extra sheets, all you could need in the kitchen, and even access to beach toys! I would recommend staying here

The unit is amazing. 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.

Unit was amazingly clean, the furnishings and appliances looked new, and the location was gorgeous. There are views of the ocean from two sides and views of the lagoon from another two bedrooms. We would definitely stay there again.

Everyone had their own room and their own bathroom. It was clean. Check in and check out was easy. The beds were very firm which isnt our preference but they cannot possibly meet everyone's bed preferences. I have saved this property for the future.

Overall stay was just fine. A few things I would offer as feedback to the owners. First, PLEASE look into a new mattress for the master. What is there is way past it's life, hard as rock, and springs are shot. I could not use the master. Given there are two other bedrooms, we managed fine. Master bath is excellent!! The shower is incredible! Second, pictures presented showed a chaise lounger on balcony. This was no longer there. Again, we managed, but wanted to have that option. Finally........the recliner. I've seen other review comments on the recliner for this unit. It's worn, ripped and past it's prime and needs replacing. Everything else about this unit was as advertised and we enjoyed our stay!!! Would book this unit again for sure!!

The condo was gorgeous. 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.

Great property! Beautiful and well kept. Location is awesome. Right on the beach. Great communication with the property manager. Will definitely stay here again!

9 people you need more than 3 rolls of tissue. I texted about getting in the inside pool and it was a long wait for reply. We were given incorrect codes for pool and beach entrance. I texted about the boarding in the kitchen and the ceiling fan making noises all night. I was told it would be taken care of but wasn’t. The master bedroom does need updated matress! As stated before me in January. The kids enjoyed their stay tho!

We chose this location due to its beach access and proximity to restaurants, stores, and family activities. 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!

We had a lovely time staying here for Hangout 2023. The pictures are exactly as the place looks, and the view just cannot be beat! At the risk of sounding negative for what was still an amazing experience, just some notes for future travelers: all the different communication avenues needed for check caused a bit of confusion (VRBO, text, and email). Would recommend only to use their office phone number via text for any check in needs, they are very quick to respond here and didn't receive everything I sent via VRBO messages! Additionally, the very low amount of certain very necessary items for a big group of 8 people staying 5 nights (hardly any dish soap, trash bags, only one toilet paper roll per bathroom, no salt/pepper/spices, etc.) Some of this is mentioned in the listing, but I still thought it felt a bit skimpy considering what you are paying for the place. However, nothing a quick grocery trip couldn't fix! Overall, still definitely a 5 star experience and we would love to come back + recommend this to anyone considering staying here!

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!

Great location! Very easy to access the beach and other property amenities!
