The Challenge
Sandpiper Cove, a resort located on Florida’s Gulf Coast, needed to upgrade their locks with modern technology that provided their guests with greater convenience. They desired locks that could endure blowing sand and extreme weather conditions for years to come, while keeping pace with the demand for digitization in the evolving vacation rental market. Being one of the first resorts in Destin, Sandpiper Cove sought a smart stay solution that would appeal to a wider demographic and simplify the day-to-day management.
About The Customer
Sandpiper Cove is a resort located in Destin, Florida along the Emerald Coast. The resort spans 43 acres and includes 1,100 feet of private beachfront. It offers a variety of amenities including a 9-hole, executive golf course, 5 swimming pools, 3 hot tubs, and 6 tennis courts. The resort manages more than 400 units and also offers boat slip rentals. Sandpiper Cove is one of the first resorts in Destin and is constantly seeking to upgrade its facilities and services to appeal to a wider demographic and simplify its day-to-day management.
The Solution
Sandpiper Cove implemented the Oracode 460/480 Series Keyless Locks and Oracode Smart Controllers. These locks and controllers communicate via broadband, enabling an integration with partner BeHome247, an enterprise property control software. This integration gives Sandpiper Cove real-time control of unit access and provides owners with visibility and control of unit temperature, lighting and other home settings. The Oracode Smart Controller and BeHome247 systems alert management if batteries need replacing. They also communicate with unit thermostats to track when HVAC units need maintenance. With BeHome247, managers can easily change settings from cool to heat mode to avoid frozen pipes in the winter without having to visit the property.
