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:
Woodland Shores is a charming and quiet townhome community located just a short walk from the white sands of Miramar Beach. Situated on Ellis Road, this low-density neighborhood offers a relaxing coastal atmosphere with easy access to local attractions, shopping, and dining. Guests can enjoy the convenience of being within walking distance to the beach near Pompano Joe’s, a popular beachfront restaurant.

The community features two outdoor pools—one of which is heated seasonally—as well as a shuffleboard court, BBQ grilling stations, and a shared community space.

Getting Around:
Getting around Miramar Beach is convenient, with several transportation options to suit various needs and preferences:

- Rideshare and Taxi Services: Uber and Lyft operate in Miramar Beach, offering convenient options for short trips or airport transfers. Additionally, local shuttle services like Miramar Beach Shuttle provide transportation for groups, events, and airport pickups.

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.

The rental is equipped with two designated parking spots, labeled with the unit number. Additional visitor parking is available and marked "VIS"

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.

To maintain the property and pool for your comfort and enjoyment, routine maintenance is performed regularly. Lawn care occurs bi-weekly, pest control is done quarterly, and pool cleaning/maintenance is completed twice a week. Our service vendors will not require access inside the property, but you may notice them working in and around the exterior or pool area during reasonable daytime hours.
If interior access is ever required, guests will always be notified in advance.

We love pets, but unfortunately the HOA does not allow pets.

Please note: The nightly rate includes up to 5 guests. For groups larger than 5 (up to a maximum of 6 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 Pompano in great shape for everyone!
