Beach towels (even if the house has some, bring extras)
Bug spray for evenings
Cooler + ice packs
Shade: pop-up tent or umbrella
Sand gear: shovel, buckets, floats
Water shoes (shells get real out here)
Trash bags, paper towels, zip bags
Coffee + filters (or pods if you’re that person)
Phone chargers, extension cord, extra batteries
First-aid basics

What Most Folks Forget

A hoodie for windy nights on the deck
Extra towels for the hot tub
A small speaker (keep it respectful, but yes)
Seasonings for grilling (salt, pepper, your go-to rub)
Kid gear: glow sticks, bubbles, beach games
Laundry pods if you’re staying a few nights
