When people go on vacation, they sometimes tend to overpack. However, how good can a vacation be if you don't have your go-to items on hand? Fortunately, renting a villa for your vacation is an excellent way to cut down on your luggage, as villas are equipped with many of the same amenities as your home, but there are still some must-have items you don't want to forget.
1. Spices
Villa rentals allow you to save money since you can cook some of your meals in the comfort of your rental. If your family has a favorite spice or you want to prepare some specialty dishes, don't forget to bring along some spices with you. Be sure to pack new, sealed, spices in your checked-in luggage to avoid any issues with airport security.
2. Shampoo and Moisturizer
If you're an avid traveler, you might already know that water isn't the same everywhere you go. If you have sensitive skin or color-treated hair, visiting a location with hard water can wreak havoc on your skin and hair. Pack your go-to shampoo or moisturizer so that you have what you need should the villa have harder water than you're used to at home.
3. Reusable Water Bottles
When you stay in villa rental, there is no need to spend money on water bottles. Pack a water bottle in your luggage for each member of the family. You can then fill the bottles and put them in the refrigerator so that they're nice and cold when you head out for the day. If it's especially hot, place them in the freezer overnight and you'll have chilled, free water on hand throughout the day.
4. HDMI Set-Top Box
Villas are generally equipped with Wi-Fi and an array of cable channels. However, if you have a particular show you want to watch or your family wants to use the vacation as a chance to catch up on some of the movies you've DVR'd, bring along an app-enabled HDMI set-top box. You can safely hook these units up to the televisions in the rental and enjoy all your home programming on vacation.
5. Plastic Bags
You don't want to forget to pack some plastic bags. Plastic bags are great because they are reusable, and they can be used for a variety of different reasons while on vacation. From packing dinner leftovers for a snack as you explore throughout the day to packing your wet swimwear until you return to your villa, plastic bags come in handy in many ways.
With all the amenities of a villa rental and your must-have items on hand, you're sure to have an awesome time. Get ready to relax and have fun on your villa vacation. Check out options like a St John villa rental for your next vacation.
