In the event of cancellation, and the accommodation is re-rented for the rental period at the same rate, all payments will be refunded, less a 25% cancellation fee. In the event the accommodation cannot be re-rented for the rental period, the guest is responsible for the full rental amount, or the difference if the accommodation is rented at a lesser rate. Ask a Nantucket Accommodations reservations agent about travel insurance which will cover cancellations in certain conditions.  Your vacation is an investment and we highly recommend protecting it with trip insurance.
