Drift Bay | Zoo, Boat Ramp, Foosball, Beach!

Summary:
Drift Bay is a newly built townhouse, perfect for a relaxing beach getaway near a convenient boat ramp. Enjoy easy access to Woodlawn Beach, the Zoo, Off-site boat parking, and “The Eatery”—all just 1 mile away! We’ve thoughtfully stocked the home with cooking essentials, towels, and toiletries for your convenience. Stream your favorite shows with high-speed Wi-Fi GBPS 550 on our smart TVs, or enjoy family fun with foosball and games for the kids. With stunning beaches, Crab Island, waterparks, and more nearby, your perfect vacation awaits. Book with Ronin Stays—we won’t disappoint!

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:
For the most efficient response, please communicate with the Ronin Stays Team directly through your booking platform’s (Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and etc) messaging system. If you booked through our website, email is the best way to reach us. Our team actively monitors messages 24/7 to ensure timely support.

Please note that while our team is responsive after hours, some services may be limited during that time. We typically do not engage in direct guest interaction unless it is an urgent or emergency situation.

All of our Short-Term Rentals are self check-in to ensure a smooth arrival and to respect your privacy. Rest assured, detailed instructions and everything you need for check-in will be provided in advance.

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 1/2mile 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:
You have the space to yourself. There is a camera on the front of the property facing the street and on the backyard patio.

We’re happy to welcome your furry companions—all breeds, shapes, and sizes are accepted, with a maximum of 4 pets per reservation. Our standard one-time pet fee is:
- $75 for up to 2 pets
- $150 for up to 4 pets

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.

To help maintain the home, we kindly ask that you crate your pets when left unattended. 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. Thank you for helping us keep the space comfortable for all guests—human and four-legged alike!

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!

Interaction with Guests:
I primarily interact with guests on the booking app and over the phone for emergencies. I am local to the area should any issues arise.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Breath of fresh air

This was our annual family beach trip to celebrate the youngest who should have turned 25 this year. We were pleasantly surprised. The home is stunning and had all the essentials. We were close to both Navarre beach and Pensacola beach. They were ready to host our pups as well. I must say this is one of the best rental experiences yet! The communication with the host was on point! Thanks again Ronin we will be back. Best
