Unlike hotels, vacation rentals often require a little extra preparation when it comes to packing. In this post, we’ll create a comprehensive checklist of items to bring, such as groceries, kitchen essentials, and entertainment options for a cozy stay. We’ll discuss what amenities are typically provided, what you should double-check with your host, and how to plan for unexpected needs (like a first-aid kit or extra towels). Additionally, we’ll explore packing tips based on different types of rentals—whether you’re staying in a beach house, mountain cabin, or urban apartment.
