Airbnb Cohost and VRBO Cohost recommendations
I manage 29 properties and these are products I am comfortable recommending.
| Product | Link | My Notes | Description |

Link | This is fairly inexpensive, batteries last awhile, and you can open and close on your phone. I recommend taking off the auto lock function so your guests do not get locked out. Best lock and I have it in 18 houses. | Keyless Entry Door Lock with Door Sensor, Works with Alexa, Google Home, WiFi Deadbolt, Door Status Alert, Remote Control, WiFi Door Lock Cost approx $129 |
