I love Lucy Bay front Studio, hotel in Gulf Shores

I love Lucy Bay front Studio offers accommodations in Gulf Shores, a 17-minute walk from Gulf Highlands Beach and 12 miles from Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo.

This place was amazingly beautiful! The owners were on sight during our whole stay! They were amazing at sharing their space with us! Very friendly, curtious, and always asking if we needed anything else. They were very welcoming of our kids coming for dinner and breakfast as well as allowing us to swim and fish even if they were out there. We saw dolphins and had an amazing experience!

    This place was absolutely amazing for the group of 6 that we had. We did not feel cramped like in most places, it was very spacious. Beds where actually pretty comfortable unlike most places. Getting key access was easy with the Vacasa app. With a very convenient beach access across the street. The view of the water back and behind the property where you can fish off the docks was great for the guys in my group. The place they have set for grilling is great for a quick lunch or cheap dinner if you do not feel like going out to eat.

    We didn't have much money this year for a family vacation so I had to get something that wasn't beach front. I was concerned about a cheaper hotel but it was clean. Had a nice little pool for the kids. We didn't try the breakfast so I can't review that. Overall I'm glad I found the hotel it met our needs and budget.
