A.M. Best Rating: A+ XV

This product protects rental properties, seasonal homes, or vacant homes using a form based on DP-3 which includes a replacement cost settlement. Home values run between $75,000 and $1M, and we accept up to four-family structures. This program is well-suited for a vacation home that needs less extensive coverage than a full-time residence.

Other programs to consider

For a one- or two-family seasonal home, look at the Homeowners FLEX program. It offers open peril coverage and replacement cost protection configured as a package similar to HO-3.

In other states, our Homeowners program accepts seasonal homes that do not need open peril or replacement coverage.

This product or individual options may not be available in your state. Check the program manual for coverage definitions, limits, conditions, limitations, and exclusions. A complete Program Manual can be found under the Forms tab in AMsuite.
