CHECK-IN & CHECK-OUT:
You may check in directly to your property with your access code. The access code will either allow access via an electronic lock on the door of your individual unit, or it will allow access to a lockbox that will contain your keys, which will be at or near the front door to your individual unit. Your access code will be sent to you via email on the morning of your arrival, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you do not have access to your email on the day of your arrival, please call or text (251) 233-8232, after 10 a.m., to receive your code.
Check-In is after 4:00 p.m., on the date of your arrival
Check-Out is at 10:00 a.m., on the date of your departure
***Please adhere to the check-out time as our cleaning staff has limited time to prepare the property for the next guests. Although rare, there could be a possibility that your individual unit will not be ready for check-in at 4 p.m. We do our very best to meet this timeline, but during peak season we may need a little extra time to prepare your unit for arrival.***
If the door to your property is controlled by an electronic lock, your access code will expire at 10:00 a.m., on the date of your departure.
