To celebrate the end of summer last year, we went away for Labor Day weekend to one of our favorite towns in Maine - York Beach. We decided for this year to spend an entire week at the beach and realized it would be more cost-effective to rent a house instead of staying at a hotel for 7 nights.
Since I’m OCD with being organized and I love lists (wayyyyy too much), I started making a serious packing list for our beach rental. I began with doing a Google search for some ideas since we have never rented a house before, but the search really didn’t come up with much. I only found a couple links that were somewhat useful from some discussion boards: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/114311.page and http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/313529
Luckily we just visited some friends at their lake house in NH last weekend, so we were able to see what was included in that house and get a better idea of things we should consider packing. Their house was very well stocked, but it did take some time to find basic cooking utensils, so I think it may be easiest to pack a box of our own kitchen things and bring it along. It also seems like it may be hit or miss with how new the pots and pans are, so I decided we should at least bring our flat frying pan for making pancakes.
Here is the list I came up with – I decided it was easiest to break it into sections. It quickly went from one page to two as I started adding beach and bathroom items, but I don’t think there’s much I missed. I did add extra lines to handwrite items on in case I think of something later on or the day before we leave.
