Travel Insurance is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all reservations.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

In the event the unit becomes unavailable or uninhabitable due to naturally occurring events or entities, severe weather conditions, hurricanes and mandatory evacuations, any deposits and pre-paid rent will not be refundable. It is highly recommended the renter purchase travel/trip cancellation insurance to cover financial losses from cancellations. Purchasing trip insurance covers you from losses you may incur due to unforeseen circumstances, such as unexpected health issues, death, inclement weather, or jury duty. Trip insurance is offered at a cost of around 7% of your total rental cost. We recommend that you purchase this insurance as we are not flexible on our cancellation policy. Please refer specific questions to 1-866-999-4018 and use product code "Midnight" The Company is called CSA Travel Protection and their website is: csatravelprotection.com
