Security Deposit – A refundable amount held during your stay and returned after checkout if no damage is found. Vacation Rental Insurance – A non-refundable, low-cost option that covers accidental damage up to a set limit.

For peace of mind and a smoother experience, we highly recommend choosing the vacation rental insurance option. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
