Keeping Your Second Home Secure While You’re Away
Owning a second home in a favorite vacation destination is what daydreams are made of.   One thing that many homeowners overlook while they are planning for their second home is its safety and security. After all, if you’re frequently away from your second home, how can you rest assured that all is safe and sound?
 
Luckily, there are many ways to protect your second or vacation home and perhaps apply the same logic to your primary home, during those times of the year you spend away!
 
Here are some tips to help you keep your second home or vacation home safe and secure while you’re away.
 
Security with Satifaction
Consider owning a second or vacation home in a community that offers a secure entrance. Guarded and gated communities offer peace of mind in that the location is private and people entering the community need  permission by either a gate pass or a resident decal.  Both Fripp Island and Harbor Island offer guarded entrances with 24 hour a day security.  
 
In addition, both islands offer patrol vehicles that provide added security as well as safety.  Security personnel provide speed limit observations, home checks, as well as any other suspicious issues that may occur.
