Understanding Florida Hurricane Season

Florida's official hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, with peak activity in August and September. However, millions of visitors enjoy Florida safely during these months—hurricanes are rare, and when they do threaten, there's typically 3-5 days of warning.

Our Hurricane Policy: If a mandatory evacuation is ordered for our area, we offer full refunds for impacted dates. We monitor tropical weather closely and communicate proactively with guests about any developing situations.

What To Expect: Most hurricane season days feature typical Florida weather—sunny mornings, afternoon thunderstorms, and beautiful evenings. These daily storms are normal and usually pass within an hour.

Travel Insurance: We strongly recommend travel insurance for all bookings, especially during hurricane season. 'Cancel for Any Reason' policies provide the most flexibility.
