5 Things to Remember for Your Beach Vacation

The time is finally here. Your long awaited vacation is around the corner and you’ve been making lists so you remember everything you need. While you get the family all together and start tying loose ends, we don’t want anything to get overlooked so here are a few things to check off.

The perfect rental home – While getting away from your regular routine is a vacation in itself, how much more wonderful is it when you walk into a gorgeous luxury beach home and it’s all yours for the week? Garrett Realty Services, Inc. has a large selection of vacation rentals in prime locations with stunning beach views. We can assist you in finding the ideal 30A condo or Seagrove Beach home that’s perfect for YOU.

Now that you have your dream beach rental booked, what do you pack? Since you’ll likely be spending a lot of time by our beautiful emerald waters, don’t forget sunblock! You don’t want to ruin your vacation by getting a burn on your first day. Apply throughout the day for thorough protection. 

While you make memories to last a lifetime, you’ll want to have pictures and videos to document your trip. Don’t forget all the chargers and batteries that go along with phones and cameras. The Emerald Coast has some stunning scenery you’ll love to capture.

Leave room for souvenirs in your luggage. We almost always OVER pack when we are traveling and while it is better to be safe than sorry, you want to have space for goodies from your trip. The Emerald Coast has a number of unique shops and upscale boutiques and you’re bound to fall in love with some coastal mementos. 

Check the weather. Rainy days are sparse around here but along with the rest of the country, the temperatures go up and down from week to week. Be prepared by checking for your days in town and know what to bring. If you only pack beach clothes and the nights get chilly, you may wish you brought some sweaters. If the forecast calls for warm sunshine, you may want to book a golf excursion and will need proper attire. 

But don’t fret. Should you forget something, there’s plenty of places in town to get a replacement. And when you have all you need, it’s time to kick back, relax, and ENJOY the beach vacation you’ve been longing for.
