Perfect Condo!    Jul 29, 2023

review star

We stayed for a week and had an amazing time. The view is phenomenal and the owner is great with communication. The condo is well equipped to cook full meals and exceptionally clean. I was able to order our groceries online from Walmart and they were delivered to our door on our day of arrival. We will be returning to this condo!

I try to be the best in Gulf Shores providing immediate customer service and furnishing the condo with quality and quantity.

We loved our stay at Crystal West. Jeanne's condo is beautiful and so comfortable - everything you need is right there. The balcony is the perfect place to have morning coffee and enjoy the outstanding view. Jeanne was great to work with and made sure everything was just right for us. Thank you!

A Little Slice of Heaven!    Aug 13, 2020

review star

This was my first time staying, but surely not my last. The view from this condo is amazing. It is located close to everything you might want to do, but is perfectly situated right in the beach, so you never have to leave. Very convenient. The view from the balcony on the 13th floor is spectacular! The condo is comfy, pretty, and airy, and has all the appliances you need. Jeanne is so accommodating- if there is anything amiss, you can message her and she will get back to you immediately with a solution!

Jeanne Carpenter's reply:

Thanks you so much Joan for your nice comments about my condo at Crystal Shores West.. #saltyairretreat@CSW1306. I am so glad you loved my condo. Yes.. the balcony is my favorite spot to be.. so much to see.. pelicans, osbrey, eagles, and the BLUE ANGELS!. It's our favorite place to eat to!! With the 2 tables and chairs, especially the bar height table and chairs where you can see over the railing..it's the perfect place to enjoy any meal.. Save lots of time and money by ordering early an amazing take-out seafood treat from one of the many awesome seafood restaurants near the condo and enjoy your private beachfront table! I love helping my guests and I will look forward to your next visit!

Just what we needed!    May 11, 2020

This condo is gorgeous (photos don’t do it justice, in my opinion). It is so spacious, comfortable and convenient! Our family enjoyed relaxing at the beach, hot tub and on the balcony. Check in and out was easy. Jeanne was very sweet when booking the reservation and during check in. I looking forward to renting this unit again!

Thank you so much Christi!! I am so glad you enjoying at SALTY AIR RETREAT@CSWEST1306. Thank you so much for your kind words. I spent A LOT of time picking out just the right furniture to make my condo feel comfortable just like home away from home. I am so glad you enjoyed my balcony with all the comfortable furniture including the 2 loungers and new balcony height table and chairs. Thank you for being so great to work with and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon to get you back on my balcony and on the beautiful white sandy beaches of Gulf Shores! #bookdirect #saltyairretreat

Great Wintering Condo    Jan 15, 2020

review star

We have been wintering for 10+ years and this condo is one of the best. The furniture – sofa, swivel rockers, dining set and bed – are some of the most comfortable we’ve experienced, most of it new. The balcony patio has a good selection of chairs, lounges and tables overlooking a great view of the Gulf. The kitchen is one of the most furnished with many appliances, dinnerware, pots and pans, etc. The location is within walking distance from several restaurants and just a short drive to all Gulf Shores has to offer. We are repeat guests of Jeanne because she is the best landlord we have experienced. She will make sure you are taken care of and will address any issue with the condo immediately.

Thank you so much for your kind words about me and my condo. I have so enjoyed having you as my guests!! I am so very glad you enjoyed my new den furniture. Before I purchased it, I had literally been looking at furniture for 2 years!! I am so happy with the look and feel of the new swivel rockers and new couch. It pleases me so much to know that you enjoyed it!! I LOVE to cook! Can you tell? I want to make sure the kitchen is well stocked with quality items so that all you have to do is open a cabinet or a drawer and what you need is right there..just like home! Our view is amazing and I am so glad you like my new patio table. I worked sooo long and hard on that!! The chairs came from home and trying to find the right sized and height table to go with it was WORK! I love the way it turned out as well. I try to furnish the condo the way I want it to enjoy it myself! Thanks again and I hope to hear from you again soon!!

The condo is very comfortable and cozy right on the beach. Great patio and great furniture. Close to restaurants and shops and all kinds of cooking utensils if you would rather just hang out in the condo. We will be back. Our owner was very easy to work with and very attentive and accommodating. Highly recommend!!!

Thank you so much Michelle!! You were great guests, too! I am so glad you enjoyed my condo and enjoyed cooking in my kitchen. I love to cook can you tell? I love to add new things each time I am there. Thanks so much for the great pictures of my new patio furniture!! I am so glad you approve. I spent so much time trying to find the perfect combination of comfortable chairs and perfect table. I love that you are now able to see over the railing for that perfect unobstructed ocean view. You are so sweet and I sure hope to hear back from you soon!! New den furniture coming in a few weeks so you'll have to come back and try that out! Thanks for taking your time to write this review!!

We had a delightful stay in this condo. Everything is well kept and kitchen stocked nicely with dishes/cookware. What seems to set this one apart is owners have a real sense of community. Jeanne offered excellent client service and everyone there seemed to make us feel welcome. It's simply a place you want to stay!

I appreciate the time you took to write this review and I will look forward to hearing from you again for your next beach vacation!

Jeanne is such a sweet genuine person to rent from. She always answered any questions I had and was truly helpful in every way. Her Condo was cozy and clean, it felt like home. We loved being on the 13th floor. You could see for miles! We arrived early and Jeanne did everything she could do we could check in before 4. We were in by 2! Even though Tropical Storm Barry ruined our last 3 days on the beach there was always something to do all around us. We loved our family beach vacation and I won't tent from anyone else when we decide to go back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Jeanne!

This was our third trip to Gulf Shores, but our first time staying at this beautiful condo at Crystal Shores West. We will definitely choose to book with Jeanne during our next visit! The condo is beautiful and has a unbelievable view of the Gulf as soon as you enter the condo! We were able to sit on the balcony and watch dolphins play. It also has a beautiful view of the Bay from the front of the building that allowed us to view the most amazing sunsets. It's the best beach front we could ask for. Condo was well stocked and clean, and Jeanne was very responsive and helpful throughout our booking and trip!

My partner and I stayed in this beautiful condo 9/22 - 10/6/18. The décor was great , bed was comfortable, all you need for the kitchen to cook in, view was awesome. We got to meet the owner Jeanne as she was near at the time. She was a great owner. I will highly recommend doing business with her at any time as she is professional, courteous, and quick to respond. We will be back. You can't go wrong with this condo or Jeanne. Thank you Jeanne for sharing your home with us.

This was our first family vacation as a newly blended family. A few of our kids hadn't been to the ocean before. Needless to say this place was heaven on earth for all. The view is breathtaking and the condo is outstanding. Plenty of room for all 7 of us!!! Cant wait to come again.

This condo and Jeanne are amazing!! She has 2 condos and they are both absolutely wonderful!! Her prices CANNOT BE BEAT!! We have booked through her for 2 years now and do not plan on booking through anyone else EVER. There has never been a single problem during any of my stays. Crystal Shores and Crystal Shores West are two of the nicest complexes in Gulf Shores. Do not pass an opportunity by to stay here. I'm already planning another trip to stay in one of her two condos... I cannot wait to be back! Book with Jeanne... you will not be disappointed!! Andrea

I left the condo this morning after my 4th time renting from Jeanne. Four times -- it feels like my second home. Jeanne is very cordial, easy to work with, and very friendly.. The condo is spacious, well stocked and in the perfect location for getting anywhere in the area. All the amenities in the condo are well maintained and fun. Try it, you'll like it.

Thank you so much for your sweet review of my condo at Crystal Shores West. It was such a pleasure having you stay in my condo and I'm so glad you had a great time. It was so sweet of you to call and let me know how clean the condo was when you first got there. That is my goal to make sure every renter has a wonderful clean just as advertised condo to spend their vacation in. You have been a pleasure to work with and I hope you will consider my condo again when you head back to the beaches of Gulf Shores.

We had the privilege of staying in this unit Jan and Feb 2017. The unit was very well furnished and clean. Jeanne was super to deal with to rent the unit and handle any issues that arose during our stay. We would certainly rent this or any other unit Jeanne would have as we know it will be well kept and the stay very well supported.
