Red tide
Red Tide is an algae bloom affecting Florida’s waters from time to time. It is a natural event, usually local and beyond our control. Regular cancelation policies apply. If a property is directly on the water (i.e. on a Canal, the Bay or directly Beach Front) and that specific property is severely affected, we may consider a case-by-case solution at our discretion. Red tide may come and go anytime, so don’t be fooled by media reports.
