Vacation Essentials
A practical packing list and reference for what to bring vs. what’s already in your rental. Every First Choice Florida property is fully furnished, but a few things are worth bringing yourself for a smoother beach stay.
What We Provide
- Bed linens for the maximum number of guests
- Bath towels (for indoor use)
- Starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, and dish soap
- Starter supply of laundry detergent and dishwasher pods (where applicable)
- Fully equipped kitchen — pots, pans, dishes, utensils, basic cookware
- Coffee maker (varies by property — see Coffee Makers)
- TV with cable or streaming (varies — see Television Information)
- Wi-Fi internet
What to Bring
- Beach towels — please don’t use rental linens on the beach
- Beach chairs and umbrella — not provided (sometimes available to rent on-site)
- Hairdryer — not provided in all units
- Personal toiletries — beyond the starter hand soap
- Sunscreen, after-sun, aloe — pharmacies are nearby but cheaper to bring
- Reusable water bottles + a small cooler for beach days
- Spare phone chargers — long beach days are hard on batteries
Worth Considering
- Bug spray — Florida coastal areas have mosquitoes especially at dusk
- A light rain jacket — afternoon showers are common in summer
- Water shoes — useful for shell-strewn beaches and pool decks
- Beach toys for kids — sand pails, frisbees, etc.
- Snacks and basic pantry items — saves a grocery trip on arrival night
Pet Owners
If your rental is pet-friendly: bring your own food, bowls, leash, waste bags, bed/crate, and a copy of vaccination records. Pet rules and details are in our Rules & Policies.
