You can cancel for a 50% refund up to 60 days before your date of arrival. After that, the booking fee is not refundable. If you’re booking within 60 days of your date of arrival, the booking fee is nonrefundable. It’s the same cancellation policy if you book with Vrbo or Airbnb.
Because of this strict cancellation policy, it is highly recommended that you purchase travel insurance for your trip, which you must do very quickly after booking your trip. Simply search the web for “travel insurance” to get information and to compare different policies that you can purchase. You may want to focus on “CFAR travel insurance,” which allows you to “cancel for any reason.” The need for travel insurance is especially important if you are visiting during hurricane season. Hurricane season technicaly extends from June until the end of November, but the peak months of hurricane season are September and October.
