Vacation Rental Terms & Guest Agreement

1. Your Reservation

• The property is provided for temporary vacation and short-term lodging only.
• The person making the reservation is considered the Primary Guest and is responsible for the conduct of all guests and permitted visitors included in the reservation.
• Only registered guests may stay overnight unless we provide prior approval.
• The property may not be sublet, transferred to another party, or used by someone other than the person or group for whom the reservation was made.
• The number of overnight guests may not exceed the occupancy approved in the reservation.

2. Property Layout & Sleeping Arrangements

This is a multi-level home with both stairs and an elevator.

Ground & Garage Level

• Guests arriving by car will typically enter from the alley.
• The covered garage area provides access to a second keypad-secured door. Beyond this door is the interior entry area with access to the stairs and elevator.
• There is also a small nook beneath the stairs with a television and twin mattress, pictured with the “Gaming Zone” sign.
• This area is intended as a casual hangout space and is not represented or designated as a formal bedroom or sleeping accommodation.

Bedroom Level

The next floor contains three bedrooms. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom and private balcony.

King Suite

The King Suite has one true king bed, a walk-in closet, and a private bathroom with a shower and double sinks. It is located toward the front of the property, closest to the commercial block in front of the home.

Queen Bedroom

This bedroom has one true queen bed, a private bathroom, and a private balcony.

Multi-Bed Bedroom

This bedroom contains:

• One twin bed in the corner
• One king-sized sleeping configuration created from two full-size mattresses placed together within the white bed frame
• One pull-out trundle beneath the white bed frame

Guests acknowledge that the king-sized sleeping configuration in this room consists of two individual full-size mattresses placed together, rather than a single king mattress.

Main Living Level

• The top floor is the primary living and gathering space and includes the living room, dining room, kitchen, and custom wet bar.
• The wet bar includes an ice machine.
• The kitchen is fully stocked for normal guest cooking and generally includes cookware, pans, dishes, silverware, cooking basics, spices, olive oil, an oven, stove, microwave, toaster, and other everyday essentials.
• Because some items are consumable, we cannot guarantee an exact quantity or selection during every stay.

3. Check-In & Arrival

• Check-in begins at 4:00 PM.
• Early check-in is permitted only when specifically approved in advance.
• When you arrive, please take a quick walk through the home and let us know promptly if anything appears damaged, missing, or not working properly. This allows us to address issues early and helps distinguish pre-existing conditions from anything that may occur during your stay.
• If something breaks, stops working, or does not seem right at any point during your stay, please contact us as soon as possible so we can address it.
• For life-threatening emergencies, always call 911 first.

4. Parking

The property provides four private parking spaces.

These include:

• Two covered parking spaces in the garage area.
• Two additional parking spaces directly behind the covered spaces on the paved area accessible from the alley.

Free street parking is also generally available in front of the property, although availability cannot be guaranteed.

Please park only in approved parking areas and do not block driveways, sidewalks, neighboring properties, garage access, other vehicles, or the alley.

If a garage door does not appear to be closing properly, hold the garage-door button down until the door closes completely.

5. Occupancy, Visitors & Events

• Only registered guests may stay overnight unless prior approval has been provided.
• Unauthorized parties and events are not permitted.
• The property may not be used for receptions, ticketed events, large gatherings, commercial events, or similar activities without our advance written approval.

• Quiet hours are from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM.

• During quiet hours, outdoor conversations, televisions, music, the sound system, and other activities should be kept at a low volume. Whenever possible, gatherings should move indoors after 11:00 PM.
• Regardless of the time of day or prior event approval, guests may not create excessive, disruptive, or unreasonable noise that disturbs neighboring properties.
• Guests are responsible for following all applicable City of Gulfport noise ordinances and regulations during their stay.
• Parties, amplified outdoor music, speakers directed toward neighboring properties, shouting, or other disruptive activity are not permitted.
• Repeated or serious noise complaints may constitute a violation of these Terms and the House Rules.

7. Elevator & Stairs

9. Heating & Air Conditioning

This may include damage caused by misuse, negligence, intentional acts, unauthorized activities, or failure to report a problem that results in additional avoidable damage.

Assumption of Risk, Release of Liability & Covenant Not to Sue

Guest acknowledges that use and occupancy of a vacation property, including its indoor and outdoor areas, stairs, elevator, balconies, hot tub, fire pit, garage, bicycles, kayaks, paddleboards, recreational equipment, nearby waterways, and other amenities, may involve inherent and other risks of personal injury, illness, property damage, disability, or death.

By choosing to stay at the Property and/or use its amenities, Guest knowingly and voluntarily assumes the ordinary risks associated with those activities and with use of the Property.

To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, Guest, on behalf of Guest and Guest’s legal representatives, heirs, and assigns, releases and agrees not to bring a claim against Nailed It Girl, LLC d/b/a Sweet Drifts, together with its owners, members, managers, employees, agents, representatives, and property managers (“Released Parties”), for personal injury, death, or property damage arising from Guest’s use or occupancy of the Property or voluntary use of its amenities, including claims arising from the ordinary negligence of a Released Party, to the extent such claims may lawfully be released.

This release includes, without limitation and to the extent permitted by law, risks associated with the voluntary use of:

• The hot tub
• Fire pit
• Elevator and stairs
• Balconies and outdoor areas
• Kayaks and paddleboards
• Bicycles
• Beach and recreational equipment
• Garage and parking areas
• Nearby waterways and outdoor recreational activities

Guest understands that recreational amenities are provided for convenience and enjoyment and that their use is voluntary. Guest is responsible for evaluating conditions, inspecting equipment before use, following provided safety instructions, supervising minors, and determining whether an activity is appropriate for Guest and members of Guest’s group.

This provision does not release or waive liability to the extent a claim cannot lawfully be released under Florida law, and nothing in these Terms is intended to waive liability for intentional misconduct or any other liability that applicable law prohibits from being waived.

By accepting these Rental Terms, Guest acknowledges that Guest has read this section, understands that it affects legal rights, and voluntarily agrees to its terms.
