Don ’ t forget your Outdoor Area . Florida is all about indoor / outdoor living spaces . Whether it ’ s a BBQ on the deck or a poolside picnic , if your vacation home has opportunities for outdoor entertaining , maximize it ! Think about how you are setting up your lanai , screened deck or porch and provide adequate outdoor seating and dining furniture . If possible , have a BBQ grill and , if you really want to wow them , have an outdoor TV ! Keep your bed blankets safely indoors by providing plenty of durable outdoor blankets . These blankets are made of fabrics like fleece or wool , are often waterproof , and come in “ outdoorsy ” palettes and patterns like plaid . Stash them in a visible place so they ’ re easy to grab and go , like beside the patio door .
Beach Essentials . Providing beach towels ( recommend four ), beach chairs ( recommend four ) beach umbrella , and any other beach toys , rafts , balls and games will be greatly appreciated by your guests . If your home is in an area with bike paths , having some bikes available for guests ’ use is also a huge plus !
