When most people think of vacation, they imagine a time of extreme relaxation and entertainment. If the unexpected happens, it can cause a disruption to your vacation plans. A vacation rental insurance policy can offer value-driven travel protection and emergency assistance services. Here’s a quick look at what you can expect from a CSA vacation rental insurance policy:
Cancellation coverage
Booking your flights and accommodations months in advance can help ensure that you get an ideal vacation rental. However, you never know how your plans may change within the span of a few months. For example, a medical emergency could force you to cancel your trip and forfeit your rental property deposit. Luckily, vacation rental insurance can reimburse up to 100% of unused, nonrefundable deposits.
Concierge services
While on vacation, some people may feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of possible activities to do. If you are concerned about making reservations for restaurants, scheduling golf tee times, or organizing other aspects of your vacation, the concierge services provided with CSA vacation rental insurance can be a great help.
Travel delay
If you find yourself stranded at your vacation destination for an extra day due to a flight cancellation, CSA vacation rental insurance can reimburse you up to $600 in hotel expenses and meals.
Emergency assistance
If you should experience severe illness or injury while on vacation, CSA vacation rental insurance can reimburse you for transportation to the hospital or for early return tickets. If you must stay in a hospital for more than seven days, this insurance policy will even pay for a companion’s round-trip ticket so that he or she may visit you.

When the housing market favors buyers, it’s best to hire an experienced real estate professional who can offer industry-specific advice on how to sell your home quickly. Here a few ways you can benefit from hiring a real estate broker:
- A Marketing Plan to Get Your Property Noticed
Most real estate companies have the ability to market your home in a variety of online and print publications. The Multiple Listing Service is a tool used among brokers to list properties, and provide information on properties sold. Besides the MLS, there are a multitude of consumer web sites that will showcase your property to the buying public. Most likely, your broker will also display your property on his or her company's web site. Also, ask if your broker plans to advertise your property via today's popular social media outlets. Besides online marketing, it is customary, and still very effective, for brokers to take advantage of print advertising. There are various real estate magazines that showcase available properties. Ask your broker which ones he or she regularly advertises in.
- Utilizing a Broad Database of Potential Buyers
When you hire a broker to help you market and sell your home, you’re purchasing access to a wide-ranging database of potential home buyers. Brokers specialize in establishing a healthy bank of buyers and sellers so that they can satisfy the real estate needs of their clients. When you put your home up for sale, chances are good that your broker will already have a list of potential buyers in mind. If not, he or she can simply look through the database to locate buyers who are looking for features similar to what your home has to offer.
- Understanding What Buyers Are Looking For
To be successful in the real estate industry, a broker must fully understand what buyers are looking for in the community. Real estate brokers have to understand the market, why certain types of homes are selling, and what is appealing about the area. When you hire a broker to market and sell your home, you’ll want one with years of successful experience and a fundamental knowledge of the area in which your home is located.
- Offering Home Staging Advice
A broker who has successful experience in the real estate industry also understands what it takes to get a home noticed. Home staging can be very extremely effective. Your broker can connect you with a home staging company in the area that can offer tips, and help make the property more desirable.
If you’re trying to sell your luxury Rhode Island home, let the experienced brokers of Properties Unlimited help. Premier properties and vacation rentals are our specialty, so call (401) 213-0405 today to get started.

Shady Harbor and Shelter Harbor are two pristine beach communities in southern Rhode Island. If you’re looking for a temperate vacation getaway or a quiet, nature-rich community you can call home, you should consider these areas. To learn more, keep reading.
Life on the Beach
Shelter Harbor was once a music colony, so it is anything but a sleepy little beach town. Folks here enjoy being active and participating in their community. The major draw for both Shady Harbor and Shelter Harbor is the waterfront access. Shelter Harbor rests along the northern shore of the Quonochontaug salt pond, which features private mooring and boat access. Hop in your car for a short drive to the town of Weekapaug and you’ll find yourself at a private beach reserved for Shelter Harbor residents!
Shady Harbor is located just east of Shelter Harbor on the north side of Quonochontaug Pond. Shady Harbor provides private boating access and private beach privileges at Weekapaug Beach.
Luxurious and Convenient Amenities
On days that you’re not taking advantage of the private boat access to the salt pond available within the Shelter Harbor community, you can enjoy a friendly tennis match on any one of the courts. If the little ones are visiting, show them everything you love about the beach by taking them to the supervised children’s beach at Grove Dock.
The Shady Harbor community lies east of Shelter Harbor near the beautiful summer community of Weekapaug and on the north side of Quonnie Pond. Here you’ll also find tennis clubs and private boating access, but you’ll also be privy to two breathtaking miles of uninhabited barrier beach. The community also features a private yacht club and three gold clubs.
Water Activities
If you enjoy being on the water, Shady Harbor and Shelter Harbor are the communities for you. You can boat, fish, sail, swim, and more! These are also ideal communities for the avid bird watcher, weather tracker, diver, seafood chef, shell hunter, and all-around nature enthusiast.
