Planning a Topsail Island beach vacation is an easy and fun process with Seashore Realty. Choosing the perfect vacation home and daydreaming about the weeks ahead is exciting. Thinking about all the local events and adventures you’ll enjoy on your vacation is fun. Counting down the days till your toes are in the sand helps us all get through the workweek. However, what happens if the unforeseeable happens and you can’t make it to your Topsail Island beach vacation. Nobody likes shopping for insurance, but it is the only way to protect your family’s vacation investment. Considering the small cost of travel insurance, the peace of mind you get in return is huge. Here’s why travel insurance is a great deal. 

Your best protection is travel insurance

Every year vacations are interrupted by unforeseen events. Maybe there’s a death or illness in the family. Sometimes Mother Nature likes to throw a wrench in your plans? For those of you serving in the armed forces an unscheduled deployment can play havoc on vacation plans? All of these and other events can happen, and while they’re all rare they can each put a serious damper on your family budget.

The most affordable way to protect your investment is by purchasing a travel insurance policy. When you book your vacation you’ll be given the option of purchasing travel insurance.  Remember, this is the only way to protect your investment. 

Three Common Questions Answered

How much does it cost?

Travel insurance premiums are calculated as a percentage of the value of your vacation rental lease. Each policy is priced individually based on your lease. At the time of your booking our staff can assist you with your policy and the associated costs.

When should I purchase travel insurance?

Travel insurance has certain restrictions regarding the time of purchase. You need to speak with our staff to determine the window available to purchase your policy. However, please note you cannot book travel insurance once a storm or other event is known. Purchase early for the maximum protection.
