If they arrive after hours or the security gate is not occupied, they can just ask for one when they see the guard the next day.

Street legal carts are NOT allowed in the complex. However, just outside the pedestrian gate on Front Beach Road, there is a rental place and if you rented a cart from them for consecutive days, you could park it at their location, which is an easy walk into the complex and back to the unit.
