Southwind Gate Hours effective September 1, 2024 (See Registered Access List Below)
The gate is attended Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The gate is unattended and accessed through Cellgate on Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays.
Residents must provide access to unregistered vendors and guests when the gate is unattended.
New owners, please register with the association manager or the Southwind Association Property Manager. Proof of ownership and a Resident Contact Information Form will be required. Like garage door openers, new residents should obtain owner gate key fobs from the prior owner at closing.
Vendors, Contractors, and Service Businesses (including Real Estate Agents) routinely servicing Southwind, Sunset Beach, or Coach Homes may request permanent registration for visitor gate access.

Registered businesses are responsible for compliance with the Southwind community rules and regulations. Businesses not on this list must obtain access from the Owner or the Association through the Southwind Property Manager.
Businesses on the list below are registered with the Association and have restricted visitor gate access codes with proper restrictions. You do not need to issue a code to companies on this list.
-----------------------------
Resident Contact Information Forms are planned to be phased out in the future. If you have a “Permanent Guest” who regularly comes, such as domestic help, landscapers, friends, or family, please register them with the Association for a Visitor Code or provide them a code for entry.
Your online registration and contact information on this website should be reviewed annually to ensure they are current so you can be contacted in an emergency.
The Association requires that the forms be updated annually and reviewed for completeness by the Property Manager, who reviews the forms to ensure completeness.
Guests. All guests must be on your permanent list or cleared by the resident with a Cellgate Code. Unannounced guests may gain access through the CellGate Watchman Call Box. The owners are responsible for issuing virtual codes for special events such as Bible Study, birthday parties, real estate open houses, etc. Any owner can create an Event QR Code for any special event. If you need help doing so, please get in touch with the Southwind Property Manager.
Remote Transmitters. Each homeowner is provided with two transmitters; additional transmitters are not available. Like a garage door opener, this transmitter should be associated with the home and transferred if the house is sold. Remote transmitters are for residents only and should not be otherwise distributed. Replacement transmitters are available through the Association Property Manager. You must use the guest entrance if you do not have a transmitter or the CellGate app.
Unattended Gate Entry Visitors may either find the resident in the directory or the resident may send the visitor a QR code ahead of their visit using the Cellgate smartphone app.
Soliciting. No soliciting of any type is permitted in Southwind.
Contracting Services. A resident can clear a contractor to enter for work. Work may only be performed between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday (except in emergencies).
Gate Operation. Access to the Southwind Community is only via Registration with the Association or through the Owner/Resident. Please do not open the gate for a vehicle ahead of you. Gates are designed to allow only one car to pass through at a time. Tailgating is prohibited and may result in a fine. The resident gate will quickly reopen for a second car’s transmitter click only if the click occurs when the gate is lowering to the closed position (not when it is rising). Ensure your guests are aware of the gate operating process. Please only activate the clicker within 150 feet of the gate and proceed through a 20 MPH or less.
