Mandatory Evacuation/Severe Weather
We do not refund rents or deposits lost due to cancelled or shortened stays because of weather. Departures due to inclement weather do not warrant refund of rent. Hurricane Policy- No refunds will be given unless: The National Weather Service advises that we are in a "Tropical Storm/Hurricane Warning Area" and a Mandatory Evacuation is in effect. We strongly advise you to purchase the Trip Insurance through the Booking software.

TRAVEL INSURANCE AND HURRICANES: WHAT’S COVERED?

In my 5 1/2 years of renting, no one has ever needed it & I am very flexible with cancelations as show below.
Travel insurance may cover a traveler’s vacation investment if severe weather conditions directly affect their travel arrangements or accom­mo­dations. For example, if a traveler is forced to cancel a trip due to a hurricane, travel insurance with trip cancellation can provide a reimbursement for nonrefundable expenses, up to the limit of coverage purchased.
If severe weather forces the evacuation of the traveler’s unit, the travel insurance may provide reimbursement for nonrefundable expenses, and additional travel expenses. For losses to be covered, travel insurance must be purchased before a hurricane is forecasted or predicted. Once a storm is named, losses resulting from a hurricane that has been forecasted or predicted on or before the effective date of coverage are excluded.
All claims will be evaluated on their own merits at the time of adjudication. Travel Insurance is available on this site.

Pet Policy
Pets are NOT permitted in this rental home under any circumstances, NO EXCEPTIONS. If any evidence of a pet(s) is found in the home or on the premises, you will be asked to vacate immediately with no refund of rent.
