Many recreational properties are jointly owned by multiple related or unrelated individuals. Ensure that each person on the property deed is named on the cottage insurance policy in order to protect your investment.
You should consider insuring recreational water craft and vehicles such as boats, ATVs, jet skis, snowmobiles, canoes, kayaks, paddle boats and other similar items. Some coverage might be automatically included in your cottage insurance policy and others require special insurance or separate policies. Having the proper insurance protects you in case there is an accidental injury or damage while using them.
Some cottage insurance policies will automatically cover your cottage while it’s being rented but it will depend on how many weeks you are renting it out. If you rent it out for a few weeks every year, your policy may cover that additional exposure. If you rent it out for more or if it is rented out year-round, you may need a specific policy to ensure you’re properly covered. Make sure you share this information with your insurance broker to ensure that you have the right policy and coverage

Seasonal dwellings located on an island with no road access are considered unprotected (in the event of a fire) and as a result, tend to cost more to insure because of the likelihood of significant damage due to lack of accessibility. Because these types of properties are remote, harder to access and may be left unchecked for a longer period of time, they are considered a higher risk.

This will depend on the insurer you are with and the type of coverage you want or are eligible for. Some insurers require year round occupancy while others do not stipulate an occupancy requirement.
