    If everyone agrees, maybe we can all pick an item to bring to share. Also, there is usually a need to wash towels or clothes, so maybe bring some laundry detergent.

    Felicia may tell me differently, but it has been my experience in renting these houses, that though the kitchen comes with dishes/cookware etc, it does not come with a lot of the things we will need while vacationing.For example, paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags (NEVER enough of those) dishwasher detergent, dish soap/sponge, even though plates are in the house, it would probably be a good idea to have paper/plastic plates and cups for the convenience and to avoid anything broken.

      “ I had SUCH A GOOD TIME!!! I never could have imagined that being with 14 strangers could be as much fun as we had!! The house was FABULOUS!! The company was so much fun, and even though I got sick on the boat, I still had a BLAST doing that as well!! I wish I could convince everyone to do it again for Labor Day. GREAT job Felicia! This trip was FANTASTIC!!! ”
