What to pack for a stay by the water

Every home's page lists what's there, so read it first and pack for the gaps. A few things are worth a place in the bag either way.

For the water

• Swimsuits and a change of clothes for each person
• Shoes you don't mind getting wet
• Sun protection and a hat

For the evenings

• A warm layer, even in summer
• Something to read or play

Before you leave home

Check the home's page for check-in time, the number of beds and anything the house asks of guests. If something isn't there, ask us.
