Beginning May 1, 2024, the Carillon Homeowners Association implemented a new security measure that will enhance the safety of our community and have the added benefit of making the check in procedure at the gate work more smoothly. Guests who have made a reservation will receive an email and/or text message approximately 1 week before their arrival date with a link to Symliv, the company responsible for our security upgrades. The guest will be prompted to register the name of their designated driver and the make/model of their vehicle. There is a fee of $35.00 per car. Once the fee is paid, the guest will receive a QR code and will be prompted to view a short video about the Carillon community. A screenshot of your QR code or printed copy of the code will be necessary for a quick check in at the security gate. When arriving at the Carillon entrance, guests will pull their vehicle into the left lane. A QR reader will be on the driver's side. Drivers will hold up their phone or printed copy of their QR code to the reader. The gate will promptly open. No need to check in with the security guard unless there is an issue. The smoother check in system helps to eliminate the long lines that can form on the popular check in days during the peak season. Every car is required to have a separate QR code. The guest who has made the reservation is responsible for forwarding the Symliv link to any other guests who are driving separately. Zuzu's Petals has parking for 3 vehicles in the driveway and 1 vehicle in the gravel space in front of the house. This is the first phase of Carillon's new security system. After the second phase is rolled out, a QR code will be necessary to open the gates to the three swimming pools, tennis/pickleball courts and walkovers to the beach. This enhanced security will keep our facilities beautiful and ready for our guests.
