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.

The property management company checked in multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. House was exactly as pictured showed. Walk to the beach is about 5-7 mins. Overall great stay!

My family of 8 stayed here and it was perfect. House was clean, great location to restaurants, close to a bike rental, and short walk to the beach. I would take a wagon or something next time to load all chairs/umbrellas/towels, etc. into. We had plenty of people to carry things so it wasn’t a big deal but with little ones you may need a wagon. All beach items you need are there so that was nice! Body boards, chairs, umbrellas, toys, etc. The house was just as described, the beds were comfortable and my teen boys stayed in the bunk beds

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.

Great House, short walk to the beach!

When we arrived at 4, the property still needed to be cleaned (we had made reservations like two days before) so I wasn’t upset. The manager was great and cleaning company was wonderful as soon as I let them know it wasn’t ready. They did everything including bringing more people over to get the place cleaned up faster. It was me, my husband, a ten year old, 16 year old, and 23 year old with her husband and three year old. There was plenty of space for everyone to relax and rejuvenate. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The bedrooms were simple and perfect for our needs, we really liked the mattresses. The walk to the beach was short and easy, around five minutes with waiting for the light to change at the crosswalk. We had a beach wagon that made it simple to take our beach gear back and forth. We found the discounts on activities to be helpful and so easy to book with the link. Definitely would stay at this property again!

Stay at Ashore Thing

Over all very good. One strange thing, the dish washer and garbage disposal can not both be plugged in to operate at the same time. The bottom plug is for the garbage disposal since it has the switch on it. When it is plugged in, the dish washer can not be plugged into the top one because it has a right angle plug and it interferes with the bottom one. Additionally, we left a hair dyer in one of the upstairs rooms. Can we get it back? Thanks
