Property & Contents Insurance
Property & contents insurance covers the physical rental — the structure plus the furniture, appliances, electronics, and furnishings inside — against fire, storm, water, theft, and damage, including damage caused by guests.
Property & Contents for Vacation Rentals
Your vacation rental is both a building and a fully furnished business asset. A standard homeowners or landlord policy may not properly cover a property used for short-term stays — or the high turnover of furnished contents that guests use every week. Property & contents coverage protects both the structure and everything in it.
What's Covered
- The building/structure against fire, storm, lightning, and covered perils
- Furniture and furnishings — beds, sofas, dining sets, decor
- Appliances and electronics — TVs, kitchen appliances, smart-home devices
- Guest-caused damage beyond normal wear (per policy terms)
- Theft and vandalism of contents
- Water damage from plumbing failures and appliance leaks
Why STR Property Coverage Is Different
A furnished rental sees constant guest use and turnover. Contents wear out and get damaged far faster than in a private home, and a property left vacant between bookings carries its own risks. We place coverage built for how a short-term rental is actually used — furnished, occupied by strangers, and sometimes seasonally vacant.
Replacement Cost vs. Actual Cash Value
Furnishing a rental to a competitive standard is expensive. Where available, we pursue replacement-cost terms so a fire or major water loss lets you re-furnish at today's prices rather than a depreciated value.
Coordinating With Loss of Rental Income
When a covered property loss forces you to cancel bookings, the lost revenue is addressed by loss of rental income coverage — which we pair with property & contents so a single event doesn't hit you twice (repair costs *and* lost income).

Frequently Asked Questions
Not reliably for short-term rental use. A homeowners policy excludes business use, and a standard landlord policy is built for long-term tenants. Property & contents coverage for an STR is designed for furnished, high-turnover guest use.
Property & contents coverage can respond to guest-caused damage beyond normal wear, subject to policy terms. We structure the coverage and explain how it works alongside security deposits and platform damage programs.
