WHAT WILL THE RENTAL PROPERTY HAVE PROVIDED FOR ME?
All linens (towels, sheets, etc.) are provided; however, you may want to bring extra beach towels if you plan to use the pool. Every property has a washer and dryer for doing laundry. (You may want to bring laundry detergent if you think you will need it.) Upon arrival, please read the instruction sheets posted in the rental carefully. They include information on the care of the unit, WIFI access, check-out procedures, etc.
WHAT SHOULD I PACK?
Pack light and enjoy a fun and casual trip - no business attire is needed! With September's warm temperatures, shorts, t-shirts, and hats are perfect for daytime activities. Don't forget to bring a jacket for the cooler evening temperatures. As we fish rain or shine, we recommend checking the weather forecast for Oriental, NC, before you leave. In case of light showers, a rain jacket or light coat would come in handy for your fishing adventure.
