At Vacasa, the health and safety of our guests, homeowners, and employees is our number one priority. To protect against the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), our support systems are more important than ever.
Please refer to this page to learn more about our updated policies and procedures so you feel 110% supported.
Guest reservations
To minimize person-to-person contact, many of our homes are equipped with smart locks or lockboxes, letting you check in and check out without interfacing with staff. We also offer a variety of standalone, private vacation homes with no shared amenities.
In addition to serving our guests, we represent a network of local communities and homeowners who depend on our consistent and reliable policies. We recognize that the current circumstances have a significant impact on everyone involved. Know that we have taken every step to adopt more flexible policies at this time.
Changing or cancelling an upcoming trip
While our mission is to provide guests with exceptional vacation experiences, we understand that many other important factors might affect your decision about where and when you travel.
We’re offering simple, flexible change and cancellation policies (including options with no extra fees).
Learn about our cancellation policy >
If you need to cancel your trip, your quickest option is to do so online and receive 100% of the cost as a Future Stay Credit. As long as your check-in date is at least 30 days away, you can claim your credit in less than a minute and use it on a new Vacasa stay when you're ready to travel.

You can also log in to your Trip Manager to see cancellation options for your specific reservation.
If Vacasa cancels
If Vacasa cancels your reservation because the property you reserved is unavailable (for example, in compliance with a government closure order) and we are not able to accommodate you in a comparable property, you will be given the option to receive a full refund.
Travel advisories
More and more state and local governments are requiring masks or face coverings to be worn in a growing number of situations. Please check the local rules prior to your stay so you can be prepared.
In addition, note that there are travel advisories and other regulations in place in Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Ontario, and Vermont, as well as Riverside County and San Bernardino County, California. If you're planning to travel to one of these locations, we recommend that you inform yourself about the local regulations.
- Alaska: Nonresident travelers coming from out of state have options to, in summary: (1) submit a travel declaration and self-isolation plan through an online portal and arrive with proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within the last 72 hours; or (2) purchase a COVID-19 test for $250 upon arrival in Alaska, and self-quarantine at your expense until results arrive. However, these are not the full requirements, and all travelers (regardless of residency) should consult the Alaska travel website and follow guidelines surrounding testing and self-isolation.
Read more on Alaska regulations > - Colorado: In all counties currently at the Safer at Home level, gatherings of individuals who are not all from the same household are capped at 10 people from no more than 2 households. In Summit County, this applies to gatherings indoors and/or outdoors at short-term rental properties, even those with a maximum occupancy of more than 10. However, gatherings of individuals who are all from a single household may exceed 10 people.
Read more on Colorado regulations > - Florida: Individual counties in Florida may have their own restrictions for travelers, which you can view here. Travelers must follow the restrictions specific to the county in which they are staying.
Read more on Florida regulations > - Hawaii: Everyone entering the state must self-quarantine for the shorter of 14 days or the duration of their stay; the quarantine cannot be completed in a vacation rental. Exemptions: (1) critical infrastructure workers who can break quarantine when performing their critical infrastructure functions; (2) people entering by recreational boats in the non-commercial harbors who have been at sea for at least 14 consecutive days AND no one on board is sick or exhibiting symptoms; and (3) people who provide written confirmation from a state-approved COVID-19 testing facility of a negative test result from an observed test administered to the traveler within 72 hours from the final leg of departure. Children under 5 traveling with a guest with a negative test are not required to obtain a negative test. A county may require travelers 5 and older to get a second test after arrival; self-quarantine is not required prior to obtaining this second test.
Read more on Hawaii regulations > - Maine: As of July 3, travelers from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont are exempt from quarantine requirements. Visitors from all other states must sign a form at check-in attesting to the fact that they: (1) have received a negative COVID-19 test within the last 72 hours; (2) will self-quarantine in Maine for 14 days; or (3) have already completed their 14-day self-quarantine in Maine.

All travelers over 18 and unaccompanied minors must complete the online Massachusetts Travel Form, unless they are traveling from a lower-risk state or fall within one of the other exemptions listed above. On the travel form, travelers can certify that they received a negative COVID-19 test result no more than 72 hours before arrival and thus are also exempt from self-quarantine. Travelers required to quarantine may leave the state before the 14 days are over, but they must comply with rules issued by the Department of Public Health for departure.
