Guest Access:
Ronin Stays uses SuiteOp for guest access. Before arrival, guests will receive a link through their booking channel and/or email to complete a quick pre-check-in. Through that same link, you’ll find everything you need for your stay — including check-in instructions, Wi-Fi details, local recommendations, and more. Once check-in begins, the SuiteOp app provides instant access to the property within seconds. In the rare event of any issues, a backup lockbox with a physical key is available on-site.
The Neighborhood:
Oakland Heights is a family-friendly neighborhood. Fort Walton Beach is a safe, military-friendly city with 13 total military bases within an hour drive. Cecelia Park is within walking distance only a 1/4 mile down the road. Great area for the kids!
Getting Around:
Getting around Fort Walton Beach is relatively easy, though public transportation options are somewhat limited. For the most convenience and flexibility, driving is the best way to explore the area. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are readily available and offer a reliable way to reach nearby destinations such as Downtown Fort Walton Beach, Okaloosa Island, and the surrounding attractions. Biking is also an option for shorter trips, and many roads in the area are bike-friendly. If you're planning to explore beyond the city or travel on your own schedule, a personal vehicle or rental car is highly recommended.
Other Things to Note:
All booking guests must submit a photo of their ID for verification, 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.
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
To ensure the property remains in top condition, routine maintenance is performed on a scheduled basis. Lawn care occurs bi-weekly, and pest control treatments are completed quarterly. Our trusted vendors will not need access inside the property, but you may see them working in and around the exterior of the home during reasonable daytime hours. If interior access is ever required, guests will always be notified in advance.
A propane grill is available for guest use, along with a standard propane tank. Please note that propane may be left over from previous guests but is not guaranteed or provided as part of your stay. If the tank runs empty, you can easily exchange it at nearby locations such as Walmart, Home Depot, or local gas stations for approximately $25.
The driveway is a one-lane driveway capable of fitting three average-sized cars. Parking is available on the street as well at your own risk.
There is one exterior camera located on the property at the front door.
Please note: The nightly rate includes up to 5 guests. For groups larger than 5 (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 Magnolia in great shape for everyone!

Fantastic Stay in Fort Walton Beach!
I recently stayed at this lovely house in Fort Walton Beach for a week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The property was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which made it feel like a true home away from home.The location was perfect—close to the beach, restaurants, and local attractions, yet tucked away enough to offer peace and quiet. It was the ideal balance of relaxation and convenience.I would absolutely recommend this Vrbo to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located stay in the area. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Responsive
I'm not a "leave a review type of person", but Josh and his team answered questions quickly. They were very responsive & accommodating & made our stay with 2 dogs comfortable. The property was open concept, clean, & had what we needed for the stay.

Great new renovation, beautiful inside
We stayed for a week while in Ft. Walton. Really nice home, very well stocked with everything needed for our stay. Really nice open concept with big bedrooms and good sized bathrooms with great backyard. We stayed by ourselves with our dog but the house was big enough to accommodate 6 people easily if needed. The neighborhood was quiet and it was about 5min drive to get to the beach. The host was great to respond. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Great home in Fort Walton Beach
We really enjoyed our stay. The home is in a great location that nice and quiet even though you were in town. The kitchen was very well stocked with all equipment needed too cook. The backyard was fully fenced which made it a wonderful play area for our dog. It was very easy to get ahold of the property manager and they were very helpful. We will definitely be checking on the availability of this home when we come back to Fort Walton Beach area.
