Smart locks are growing in popularity with vacation homeowners, and it’s easy to see why. They streamline the check-in process, and eliminate the need to leave keys in lockboxes or have multiple copies floating around. With so many options on the market and new technology each day, it can be confusing which smart lock is the best for your vacation home. Some features to consider: You can retrofit an existing deadbolt (allowing you to still keep your existing key) or replace your entire deadbolt system. There are also several ways to communicate with a smart lock, including via Bluetooth, WiFi, or Z-wave—each with their own pros and cons.
With Vacasa’s Smart Lock program, we’ll find the best smart lock system for your property and climate, then install it, program it, and take care of any ongoing maintenance. You just handle the cost of the smart lock itself.
