Nothing else on this list matters until a guest can let themselves in at 1am without calling you.

This is the lock we put on doors we care about. It talks to Wi-Fi on its own without a hub, so we can add and remove guest codes remotely, and the keypad is obvious enough that guests get inside without texting us at midnight.
We use this to see arrivals and confirm a guest actually made it in, and it settles the occasional question about who came and went. Keep it pointed at the entry only, and disclose it in your listing, because cameras inside are not allowed.
A doorbell that walks off is a doorbell you buy twice. This bracket locks the unit down and swivels, so we can aim it at the walkway instead of the neighbor's driveway.
These go on the shed, the gate, the owner closet, and the pool equipment, so cleaners and handymen get in with a code instead of a key handoff. Buying four at once means every lock on the property can be reset to a code we actually remember.
If buying, installing and reordering all of this sounds like a lot, that is the part we take off your hands.
