Late Arrivals: How to Streamline After-Hours Check-Ins

Travel happens. If delays push your arrival beyond the standard check-in window (4:00 PM–9:00 PM), here’s how to keep things smooth:

1. Contact us as early as possible. Late check-in is subject to availability, so advance notice is key.
2. Confirm your ETA. Provide your estimated arrival time and ensure the name on the reservation matches the ID you’ll present.
3. Have your credit card and photo ID ready at arrival.

Remember, front desk hours vary by day. If you anticipate arriving after the desk closes (see hours above), notifying the team in advance gives you the best chance of a streamlined check-in.

Early Departures and Contactless Check-Out

If you’re catching an early flight or just prefer a quick exit, contactless check-out is available.

• Standard check-out: By 11:00 AM (8:00 AM–11:00 AM at the desk)
• Contactless option: Ideal for early departures or a faster exit

Before you go:

• Verify any incidental charges are settled on your card.
• Return keys as directed at the desk or via the contactless process.
• Double-check you’ve packed all belongings from closets, refrigerators, and safes.

Make Arrival Day Easier

A few small steps can turn arrival day into vacation mode.

• Plan around front desk hours. Aim for arrival when the desk is open (see table above) to keep things simple.
• Add your ETA to your reservation. This helps the team prepare for you.
• Know the essentials. Bring a photo ID and the credit card used to book.
• Traveling with gear? Remember that boats, trailers, RVs, and jet skis are not permitted on property.
• Park with confidence. On-site free self parking is included.
