Tenants may choose either to arrive at our office at (or after) 2 PM to pay the balance and get keys, the traditional method of checking-in, or to expedite the check-in process by mailing the balance in advance. If we receive the deposit at least 3 days before the check-in date, and it is in the correct format, then keys and directions to the rental property are placed in envelopes in a box outside our office which is unlocked at 2 PM on Saturday.* It is not necessary to wait in line or even enter our office. Expedited Check-In is also appropriate for tenants who may arrive after we close (usually 7 or 8 PM on Saturdays in-season) or who do not plan to arrive until Sunday. We require that the rent be paid in full before we can turn over the key to the property; paying in advance guarantees access if you arrive when we are not open. The check-in letter, which will be sent approximately 3 weeks prior to you arrival, explains the type of checks we can accept and how that check should be written. *Please do not drop by our office early on Saturday and try to pay so that you can avoid checking in. The Expedited Check-In arrangements are made on Thursday or Friday and the box is locked from that time unil 2 PM on Saturday.
