You spent months planning the perfect vacation: exploring different vacation destination, finding the perfect rental place, rearranging schedules, getting time off work, and now its time to go, but you don't know what to pack?

First of all ALWAYS PACK ANYTHING THAT YOU NEED, THAT YOU CAN'T EASILY PURCHASE AT THE LOCAL STORE. For example medications, cell phones, phone numbers, credit cards, driver licenses, and specialty items like favorite stuff that you can't live without: favorite pillow, blanket, sunglasses, shirt, hat ect.


Next, always ask the place where you are renting what items are included in the rental and don't be afraid to ask questions. How many towels? are beach towels included? Are beach chairs included? How many beach chairs? I am going to compile a list of frequently asked questions and a list of items that are included in our vacation rental Diamond on the Emerald Coast.


Frequently asked questions:

  1. Do you have a Keurig maker or a coffee pot? Diamond on the Emerald Coast has both. (while there are a stack of coffee filters left over from previous guest at this time, guest are required to supply coffee, pods and filters if there are not any.
  2. Frying pans? Yes we have an assortment of stainless steel pots and pans and a few non-stick pots and pans.
  3. Beach Chairs? Diamond on the Emerald Coast has an assortment of beach chairs, umbrella, cart, tent, toys, cooler and other beach items in a ground floor storage room.
  4. Linens? All beds will be made prior to arrival except the pull out couch will need to be made (sheets are provided) We have a large supply of linen: bath towels, beach towels, kitchen towels and sheets. No daily maid service is provided but a washer and dryer are in the unit.
  5. Do you have a hand held Shower? Shower/Tub? Diamond on the Emerald Coast has 2 walk in showers one with a hand held shower.

6. Do you have Wifi? The Dunes of Panama provides free wifi. Instructions are on the refrigerator.
