Challenge	Brindley Beach Vacations and Sales manages over 600 properties, many of which are located in remote areas near the Atlantic Ocean. These properties are exposed to the corrosive effects of salt spray and blowing sand, which can cause issues with the vacation rental locks. The company needed to ensure that their locks were in reliable operating condition to reduce the time their maintenance team spent responding to guest access issues. Additionally, several property owners wanted to lower their energy costs with smart thermostats, prompting Brindley to offer a 'connected home' environment to monitor and control energy usage. The company evaluated vacation rental access locks from leading providers to upgrade their existing units. They wanted secure, flexible keyless locks that could communicate wirelessly and were compatible with a remote monitoring system. Read More
About Customer	Brindley Beach Vacations and Sales is a company owned and operated by Doug and Joan Brindley. The couple has been prominent in the real estate rental and sales industry since 1984 and focuses on providing exceptional service to its owners and guests. Brindley’s 600 units on the East Coast’s outer banks range from traditional beach cottages to magnificent oceanfront estates. Many are a long distance from main highways with the closest airport nearly two hours away. Visitors often travel across country to enjoy its remote destinations and be immersed in the beautiful rustic, coastal environment where security and comfort are essential to their peace of mind.

Solution	Brindley Beach Vacations and Sales chose to implement Oracode 480i and other iSeries keyless entry vacation rental locks, along with Oracode Smart Controllers. These products were integrated with the BeHome247 Enterprise Property Control system. The Oracode 480i electronic locks send entry notifications through a secure website to keep owners and managers informed of real-time events such as guest arrivals, early checkout, low battery alert, or if the Internet is down. The 480i’s secure time-sensitive code eliminates metal keys and delivers greater reliability to save management time. The Oracode Smart Controller seamlessly communicates with BeHome247 to interact with a unit’s environmental controls, allowing remote access to a home’s thermostat, AC and heater units to confirm if service is needed.
