** Note: Our cancellation policy is more flexible and generous than any of the standard VRBO cancellation options that owners can choose from. Our rental agreement states our Cancellation Policy as:
A notice for cancellation prior to the arrival date will incur a $ 250 inconvenience cancellation fee. Cancellations prior to arrival date will receive a 100% refund If we are able to rent the home for the entire time period contracted for. All funds (minus the inconvenience cancellation fee) will be returned. If only a portion of the time is rented, the balance of the rental period will be deducted from any payments made. This cancellation policy is more generous and practical than even the 30 day cancellation version offered on a VRBO site. In 4 years of renting through VRBO, we have always been able to rent our home when given 30 days or more notice and have provided full refunds to our guests. (The policy protects us from those taking our home off the market during high demand times until they find a cheaper alternative.) Optional third-party insurance for unforeseen circumstances that require cancellation can be purchased for a nominal fee through VRBO or other entities.
