Where can I find a list of things in the units? I am beginning to plan a shopping list for when we arrive and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Can anyone share their packing/shopping list?
It probably depends on how much you plan to cook, but the kitchen is really well equipped with pretty much anything you'd need, really. We do add a few things, but not much!
The additional things we pack or buy:
- A few ziploc bags for marinating, leftovers, etc.
- I pack a few dishwasher pods and laundry pods - they give you some, but usually not enough for us and it is easy enough to throw a few in a ziploc.
- Dish soap and liquid hand soap. They do give you a little dish soap, but it is not quite enough for us. We prefer liquid over bar soap, so I pack or pick up a couple of pumps for the bathrooms.
- Aluminum foil (the non-stick kind that we like)
- Paper towels (the ones that come with the villa are the cheaper kind, I like my Bounty select-a-size or store equivalent...but you might not be as weird about paper towels as I am!)
- Grilling tools. You can check them out from the activity desk, but I find it easier to just pack a set along and not mess with checking out and returning.
- Speaking of grilling, we pack a collapsible basket thing for carrying stuff to and from the grills.
That's about it for us.
Somewhere there is a Youtube video that goes through all of the kitchen cabinets and drawers to show everything that is there. Maybe someone has a link handy? I know it was somewhere on this thread, but it has been a while!
