Booking a vacation used to be synonymous with reserving a room at a hotel, but many people are now choosing to opt for a vacation rental so they can relax in what feels like a home away from home. As the Gulf Coast of Alabama’s premier vacation rental service, Sugar Sands Realty & Management will help you find a beautiful beach home to rent, with full house privileges, instead of a tight box of a room for your whole family.

However, packing for a vacation rental is a bit different than packing for a stay at a hotel. Here are some tips on what to pack for your vacation rental:

• Linens: Just like you would in your own home, you’ll need clean, fresh linens at the rented house. Bring your own sheets, pillowcases, and bath and kitchen towels.
• Soaps & Detergents: Make sure to pack your soaps (body and face) and your detergents (dishwashing and laundry). Don’t forget the shampoo and conditioner, either.
• Groceries, Utensils, & Dinnerware: Bring your own groceries, since you’ll have a full kitchen to use, and pack your own paper or plastic plates and disposable utensils for an easy cleanup.

These are only a few key items you’ll need for a great vacation at your rental house. There are certainly many more things you can include when you’re packing to come to one of Sugar Sands Realty & Management’s beautiful beachfront vacation rentals.
