Alternative to Lockbox/Smart Lock. HOA wont allow it

[Daniel Domer]

Hello,

We own a beach front condo down in the cocoa beach area (Cape Canaveral). We are looking into self managing it but there is a big hurdle in that the HOA doesn't allow lockboxes or smart locks on the doors. Pretty sure they want the mgmt of any rentals to go through them, which is why this rule is imposed. They will not allow lockboxes anywhere else on the property (like on a fence for example), either.

Wondering if anyone has done alternatives to this. We are out of state, no where near FL, and looking to self manage the condo in the future. And in doing so gaining access to our unit is very important for guests! So trying to figure out how to do that with keys.

Post Office, UPS Store, Amazon locker, Storage unit. I'm not sure, but starting to look into this. 

If anyone has ideas, please share. Thank you in advance..

Have you looked at smart locks that do not appear to be smart locks? There are a few out there. If it looks like a normal lock, your HOA may have no idea its there. Here is one I just looked up on Amazon
