We greatly encourage you to purchase this protection during the Atlantic hurricane season, June 1st to November 30th. You can accept trip protection from VRBO at check out. Trip insurance covers loss of rent payments made because of unforeseen circumstances, illnesses and injuries and includes coverage for mandatory hurricane evacuations. To help defer this cost we are offering a $100 refund for any 7 night stay with proof of insurance purchase showing valid coverage thru the end of your stay. FEES: Regarding the number of fees renters are required to pay on VRBO. We understand how the quantity of fees add up quickly on a vacation rental but most of them are out of our control. The "service fee" is set by VRBO and the "taxes" are set by the state, county, and city. The "linen fee" is by our vendor and represent the exact amount that we are charged. The cleaning fee includes maintaining the yard, house & pool and we have very high standards so our cost actually exceeds the amount we are charging. SECURITY CAMERA POLICY: We do not have any security cameras inside the living areas of the house. However, to protect the property we have placed two cameras outside in restricted areas. 1) We have a security camera overlooking the outside locked pool equipment area. In the past we have had issues with guests climbing the fence and changing settings which required a service call to repair. 2) We have a camera placed over the outside air conditioner platform. Once again renters should never be on that platform. This minimum amount of monitoring helps us maintain our property from misuse while still protecting your privacy and security.
