I think there is a big difference in many ways from huge hotel chains and mom and pop rentals on VRBO or Airbnb though.
I feel for the owners losing that income, but I also feel for the travelers who if it wasn’t for this huge global crisis would be taking their dream vacation to Hawaii.
The OP was content to go 50/50 with the owner, and yet the owner declined and kept the whole thing, Not one day or two days, but the entire payment. That seems unreasonable for that owner, knowing that someone would not cancel this for arbitrary reasons. That’s why our upcoming renters absolutely got 100% of their payment back. They wanted to come- I wanted them to come. But it wouldn’t be reasonable to fly to Florida from Cincinnati at this time, rent a car and come to my house.
Ft Lauderdale and Miami beaches are closed, although here on the Gulf coast it seems to be mostly business as usual. That should (will) change, and our renters are wise to stay home and self-quarantine or at least not expose themselves and others to possible infection and spread it.
