There is an electronic dead bolt lock on the front door. We had the combination, and it opened as expected. We stayed the night on Friday, August 25. On Saturday, we locked up for an excursion to Monterey. The front door has a standard chamber lever style door knob, which was inadvertently locked as we left the property.
Upon returning mid-afternoon on Saturday, the 26, we realized that the door was locked with the door latch and could only be opened with a physical key. Since this is a gated community, we obtained a duplicate key from the employee at the gate. It did not fit the keyhole, and of course it did not unlock the door. We contacted the gatehouse, who contacted the owner, but we were told the owner was out of the country, and they could not help us. We contacted VRBO, and had an extensive "chat," and were told that we would hear from another representative of VRBO about our problem. As the afternoon was soon to be evening, we called the local fire department for advice, but they said they could not enter the locked unit unless there was an actual fire. They suggested we call a locksmith. As darkness fell, we had my prescription medicines and all our personal effects inside a locked condominium. We had no choice but to call the local locksmith, who got us into the unit for a total charge of $390.
There is a realtor style lockbox near the door, but the combination we had to the electronic deadbolt did not operate the doorknob.
