Ashore Thing is your next favorite beach getaway! This gorgeous three-bedroom, four-bath home sits right across the street from the sand and surf, with deeded beach access just 150 feet away. Even better? There’s a stoplight at the entrance, making beach days easy and stress-free.

Tucked away in The Cottages of Romeo II—a quiet, charming community in the heart of Gulf Shores—this home comes with access to a shared outdoor pool (perfect for a quick dip, though it’s not heated).

Here’s what you’ll love:

• Step out onto the balcony straight from the living and dining rooms—great for morning coffee or sunset chats.
• Tile flooring is in the main areas and cozy carpet in the bedrooms.
• A fully equipped kitchen with granite counters and fun, unique cabinetry. Dine at the table for six or grab a seat at the bar with room for four more.
• Full-size washer and dryer on the first floor (because beach days come with sandy towels).
• Comfy sectional in the living room—movie nights, anyone?
• The primary bedroom features a king-size bed for maximum relaxation.
• Two guest rooms, each with two full-size beds—plenty of room for everyone.
• Bonus bunk alcove upstairs with twin beds (top bunk for ages 7+ only, please!).
• Skip the check-in lines! Head straight to your vacation with keyless entry.
• Parking for up to four vehicles underneath the home (sorry, no boats or trailers allowed).
• This is a smoke-free zone—thanks for keeping it fresh!

Whether you're soaking up the sun or lounging poolside, Ashore Thing makes beach living easy, breezy, and unforgettable.

Perfect Location!

Location of the property was very good for beach access. As older adults, we used it for a home base to travel to nearby sites. Navigating the steps outside and inside may be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues. There is no bedroom on first floor. The property was clean and spacious.

A Sure Thing

Great space. Clean and nice, as advertised and better than the photos. Perfect location, especially for those traveling with teenagers - close to beach and main/downtown area. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. Bring plenty of toilet paper and paper towels, sponges, dish soap, etc.This is the second time renting a property from iTrip and they are very easy to work with and responsive. Will rent from them again.
