Q: What is your Cancelation Policy?

A: Please contact our office as soon as possible in the event you must cancel or change properties.

Once your reservation has been confirmed, any cancelations or property changes will be subject to this cancelation policy. To prevent loss of rental payments we strongly recommend purchasing Red Sky Sun Preserver travel insurance.

Q: What is Travel Insurance?

A: You are a valued guest and we want to do everything possible to make your trip enjoyable and worry-free. Because the unforeseen and unexpected can occur, we recommend and offer optional travel insurance through Red Sky. The travel insurance fee covers unexpected events such as illness, hurricanes, travel issues, trip cancelations and/or interruptions, etc. and is available for a fee of 6.95% of the rent total. If you elect to purchase the optional travel insurance, the total premium amount will be added to the initial rental payment.
