The Space:
Check out this spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. All rooms are located on the 2nd floor along with the full bathrooms. For convenience, a half bathroom is right off the kitchen and living space. Washer and dryer are available for use with no additional fee.

Guest Access:
Guests will receive a unique access code for the front door prior to check-in. In the unlikely event of any issues with the digital lock, a backup lockbox containing a physical key is available on-site. Access instructions can be viewed in your guest portal 1 hour before check-in for your convenience.

The Neighborhood:
Located on a quiet street with little to no traffic. The street does a loop coming in and out of the adjoining road.
Just blocks from Highway 98, you have a quick commute in either direction to beaches, dining and shopping. The Gulf Breeze Zoo is a must see and a community boat ramp is less than half a mile away!

Getting Around:
Getting around Gulf Breeze is simple and convenient, especially with a car. While public transportation is limited, driving offers the most flexibility for exploring the area and nearby attractions. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are readily available and provide an easy way to reach places like Pensacola Beach, the Gulf Islands National Seashore, and the local shops and eateries scattered throughout the community. Biking is also a great option for shorter trips—Gulf Breeze is known for its scenic roads and coastal trails. For the most comfortable and stress-free experience, especially if you’re planning day trips or beach outings, having a personal vehicle or rental car is highly recommended.

Other Things to Note:
The booking guest must complete and sign the Ronin Stays Rental Agreement, fill out the check-in form, and choose either the damage waiver protection plan ($45) or a security deposit ($250) before receiving check-in instructions. Once these steps are completed, your personal check-in code will be sent one hour before your scheduled check-in time. To avoid any delays, please ensure these requirements are taken care of in advance.

For security and compliance purposes, we require a valid government-issued ID to be uploaded through our guest portal after booking. This helps us verify that we’re hosting the property to the actual booker and to a legal, verified individual. It’s part of how we maintain a safe and trustworthy experience for both our guests and our property owners.

We’re happy to welcome your furry companions—all breeds, shapes, and sizes are accepted, with a maximum of 2 pets per reservation. This fee covers your entire stay and includes basic pet cleaning. All pets must be house trained, non-aggressive, and up to date on vaccinations. Please note that the pet fee covers standard cleaning; any excessive cleaning—such as indoor accidents, excessive pet hair on furniture, or damage—will result in additional charges. Our standard one-time pet fee is:
- $85 for up to 2 pets

For your safety, this property has 2 exterior security cameras located at:
- At the Front Door
- In the Backyard

There are no cameras inside the house. These cameras are installed solely to help protect our guests and the property.

Please note: The nightly rate includes up to 6 guests. For groups larger than 6 (up to a maximum of 8 guests), there is an additional charge of $25 per guest, per night. This helps cover the extra utilities, cleaning, and general wear and tear. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep Drift Bay in great shape for everyone!
