Tenants can make it very difficult in showing a property that is for sale.
In a case such as yours, where it is rented as a seasonal rental,
your tenants are basically renting it like a vacation property.
They may not be agreeable to making it easy for showings,
particularly with spur-of-the-moment appointments,
and probably would not like having a lockbox on the door.
You really need to discuss your situation with your tenants before doing anything else.

I agree with this. When I rented the same house for several winters in Key West, I was working from there 40 hrs. a week. The rental agency never bothered me. But when the owner changed rental agencies, the new one started calling me up asking to show the house. I did it once, then told them I would not do that anymore because it was interrupting my workday.
