What to Bring

We're excited you're considering or have already chosen to book one of our Gulf Shores vacation rentals. We offer a variety of resources to help you plan the perfect vacation. Check out our Gulf Shores Vacation Guide, and please reference the list below so you know what to bring on your vacation.

We've got the basics covered for you

We provide bed linens for each bed, along with an extra blanket in the closet and clothes hangers. Bath towels are provided with one set per person. You'll receive a startup supply of two rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, along with a small set of shampoo and conditioner, body wash, body lotion, a body bar, and hand soap. Dishwashing soaps are provided, along with a startup supply of two rolls of paper towels and trash bags. Laundry detergent is also provided, and a laundry room is available for your use during your stay.

THINGS TO BRING:

Beach Towels

You will need to bring beach/pool towels.

Shampoo & Toiletries/Hairdryers

We do provide a small set of toiletries, but you may want to bring your personal items and anything you use as part of your daily routine, like vitamins, so you feel your best while you're here. Hair dryers aren't included, but we highly recommend embracing "beach hair" while on vacation!

Coffee Filters

The kitchens are well-stocked with silverware, kitchen utensils, dishes, pots and pans, as well as small appliances like toasters, blenders, and coffee makers. All of our homes include both Keurig and drip coffee makers. Please note that most of our drip coffee makers require basket filters, so don't forget to bring those.

Seasonings/Cooking Oils/Foil/Napkins

Our kitchens are well-stocked with dishes and pans, but you'll need to bring all of your ingredients and seasonings, as well as any foil, plastic wrap, and sandwich bags for leftovers.

Baby Equipment

We do not have baby equipment at any of our houses. Houses are not baby-proofed before your arrival.
We do sometimes have children's movies, games or toys.

You can rent a range of beach and baby gear that will be waiting for you when you arrive.

Beach Gear

Don't forget the Leave Only Footsteps ordinance requiring everything be removed from the beach each evening!

Each of our homes includes some sand chairs for your use at the beach. You may also find additional items like pool floats and boogie boards left by previous guests, but we can't guarantee their availability or what will be at the house during your stay. You'll want to bring beach umbrellas or canopies, or consider renting them.

For Summer Only, there are a couple of local companies that offer daily set-up/take down service for Beachfront homes in Gulf Shores.
