Items to Bring
Pack Smart
What to Bring
Beach Gear
Towels, chairs, and an umbrella. Most properties don't supply beach equipment, so pack what you need for a full day on the sand.
Sunscreen
The Gulf Coast sun is strong year-round. Bring more than you think you'll need, especially if you're spending long days outside.
Groceries
Stock up before you arrive. Grocery stores are on the island, but having basics ready at check-in makes the first evening easy.
Cash
A handful of local spots, markets, and parking meters still run on cash. Worth keeping a little in your wallet for those.
Medications
Bring a full supply of any prescriptions. Pharmacies are on the island, but don't count on finding a specific brand quickly.
Bug Spray
Evenings near the bay and canal properties can bring mosquitoes. A good repellent makes outdoor time a lot more comfortable.
Cooler
Handy for beach days, boat trips, and keeping drinks cold on the go. Most properties have fridges but not portable coolers.
Pet Supplies
Bringing your dog? Pack their food, leash, and bed. Our pet-friendly properties welcome them, but the supplies are on you.
Entertainment
Books, games, or a deck of cards for slower evenings. Most properties have TVs, but a rainy afternoon goes better with options.
