Tropical Storm Isaias

Tropical Storm Isaias and Miramar Beach: what to do now

The South Walton zone, including Miramar Beach, is under a Hurricane Watch and a Storm Surge Watch for Tropical Storm Isaias as of NHC Advisory 4. Owners in a resort rental program should ask their management company how storm damage will be reported and documented.

If Isaias damages your Miramar Beach unit, get your own date-stamped photos or ask for them, even if the resort is handling the building claim. Unit finishes and contents often fall on your HO-6, not the association.

Miramar Beach FAQ

Questions Miramar Beach owners ask us.

Text an adjuster

What should Miramar Beach condo owners do about Tropical Storm Isaias?

Find your HO-6 declarations page, confirm your association contact, and plan for date-stamped photos of your unit. If Isaias causes damage, give prompt notice. American Financial Claims can review the claim for free.

Does loss-assessment coverage help Miramar Beach condo owners?

If your association levies a special assessment to cover a storm deductible or uncovered loss, loss-assessment coverage on your HO-6 may help pay your share, up to its limit. Check your policy.

The resort is handling the claim. Do I need to do anything?

The resort or association handles its own policy. Your HO-6 is your claim. Document your unit and contents and give your own insurer notice.

Can I claim lost rental income for my Miramar Beach unit?

Only if your policy includes fair-rental-value or loss-of-rents coverage. Keep booking records and cancellation notices.
