Travel Insurance not only covers hurricanes, but also covers if you need to cancel due to a medical emergency, or death in the family. Also it covers if you have a medical emergency while on your vacation. When you get your rental agreement via e-mail, there is a line highlighted in the center of the page that states “If you wish to DECLINE travel insurance, please sign here”. Please be sure to sign on this line, since once travel insurance has been accepted it can not be reversed. If you have any specific questions please call Travel Guard at 1-877-249-5376 and reference the following product number 008573 P1.

No, Travel Insurance is not taxable.

The cancellation policy on villas is 60 days and 90 day for home. Outside of the 60/90 days, all cancellations are subjected to the $85.00 cancellation fee. Once inside the 60/90 days all cancellations forfeit their deposit of 40%.

We require a valid credit card at the time of reservation to guarantee the reservation and it is used in lieu of a security deposit. We then e-mail you the rental agreement and at that time 40% of your balance is due 14 days from the time of reservation.
