Need help giving others access my land

I've searched through the forums and can't seem to find a straight answer. I have an island where I rent out short term rentals to couples and others wanting to get away, but one of the "perks" shall I say is the guaranteed privacy and seclusion of the place (got a great security system in place that gets unknown folks out immediately). Long story short, the bad part is that people have to IM me and wait until I sign on to get added to the visitors' list. I don't want to open the island up to everyone, as this would kill my privacy angle, but I hate making folks wait to see it.

Problem #2: I've recently had visitors that are supposed to be viewing the island spending way too much time in one rental house, particularly in the bedroom and I've had to do a lot of ejecting and banning.

What I'm looking for help with: I've been to places where you go to one central location and there they have boards or pics up where you can click, pay a nominal fee (usually like 1L) and get to view a place for a limited amount of time. I'd love something like this, that maybe gave out a group tag or something that I could set up to get around the security system until I sign on to update the lists. Does anyone know if there's a system, rental, security, or otherwise, that I can get to do the "pay to view, with time limit" option? And if so, whether I could sync it with my security system, or buy a new one?

Oh and fyi, I'm completely lost when it comes to scripts and building, so if you're going to tell me to build or script it, I'm going to need very detailed instructions, like Scripting for Dummies style. Thanks!

On the access tab of about land there's an option to sell passes, you set a price and length of duration, that may help you.

Group invites you'll need a bot, if it's an island why don't you sell the plots for a month or week's worth of rent initially? If you cancel resale on the island nobody will be able to sell the plots but they don't need to wait for a group invite. You can block terraform at estate level.

You could also set the menu options on the beds and sex things to owner only. That would help. Most beds and pulldown menu things have a setting like that. If so then you wouldn't need to set passes.
