Guest Entrance Policy
With this weekend being a busy time for the Front Main Gate, please ensure that all guests are pre-registered with the gate before they arrive. Use the app or the web portal for Gate Sentry to input your visitors into the system BEFORE they arrive at the gate. Please only use the phone call option when the app or web portal is not available to you. Phone calls must be from a phone number registered through the HAWL Office. WHEN CALLING, ONLY A MAXIMUM OF TWO GUESTS MAY BE REGISTERED. CALLS MAY ONLY BE TAKEN 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE. Guest Registration Forms must be used when registering three or more guests. These forms are available on the HAWL website, the Front Main Gate, and the HAWL Office. BY NOT USING THE APP OR WEB PORTAL, THE GATE BECOMES VERY BUSY AND IT DELAYS DISPATCHING URGENT CALLS FOR PATROL ASSISTANCE TO OWNERS AND CAUSES GATE ENTRY DELAYS. The Office staff is available to help all owners with the app and web portal or inputting visitors into the system. Please call the HAWL Office so we may assist you.

HAWL Guest Policy
Property owners are completely responsible for the actions of their residents and guests during the duration of their time in the community. Property owners need to understand that if they register one guest and that guest brings in additional people with them, the property owner is also responsible for their actions as well while they are in the community. Please ensure that all residents and guests are made aware of the fact that HAWL proudly boasts a family environment on all common grounds (i.e. beach, pool, parks, roads etc.) and as such will not tolerate inappropriate behavior/actions such as cursing, crude actions, violence, and so forth. Property owners/residents should remain with their guests during the duration of their visit if on any common grounds.
