We know it can be overwhelming when packing for the whole family, but we want to help plan what to pack. Carolina One vacation rentals do provide linens and a few starter amenities in each vacation rental for you. Let’s look below at a more detailed packing list to get you ready for your next beach vacation.
What We Provide in Our Vacation Rentals

We also provide a start supply of products, including one roll of paper towels, one sponge, dishwashing soap, three trash bags, three dishwasher tablets, and two kitchen towels. Each bathroom will have one roll of toilet paper and at least 1 bar of soap. Each full bathroom will include one small shampoo, one small conditioner, and a small bottle of lotion. If your property comes with a grill, then we will provide one tank of propane to use with the grill.
