What to Pack for Your Trip to Your Second Home

If you have a second home at the Lake of the Ozarks, you may be curious as to what you need to bring with you when you visit, what you can buy when you get here and what can be kept at the home. Planning a vacation can be overwhelming and the last thing you want to do is leave something important behind. Isla del Sol, the premier island condo development at the Lake of the Ozarks, has created a list to make sure you enjoy your vacation and don’t forget anything you need.

What Can Be Kept at Your Second Home


Your vacation home should be stocked with the bare essentials. A set of towels, linens and kitchens items including: toaster, microwave, dishes, silverware and cookware, should all be kept at the vacation home. You do not want to be lugging a bunch of items you use all the time back and forth. Other items in the kitchen that can be left are spices, frozen foods and other items that have long expiration dates. A set of beach towels can also be left behind to ensure you do not accidentally leave them behind and to also lighten the load a bit. It is also a good idea to keep some cleaning supplies on hand, as well as some paper goods including: toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, tissues, etc. If you have pets, keeping some food and treats for them at the second home, as well as a pet bed, can also make the packing easier.

What Should Be Brought with You


Aside from clothes and toiletries, a majority of the items being brought will be food items that do not have to be refrigerated. If you don’t live far from your second home, you could also bring a cooler with dairy and other refrigerated food items. Packing to visit your vacation home is very different than packing to visit a hotel. Plan your meals ahead, so you will know what kitchen items you will need, if any, to bring from home. If you are having company come with you, make sure you bring enough towels and linens for them. Depending on what activities you plan to do on your trip, you may need to bring additional items as well, such as camping, hiking or water gear.

What Can Be Bought Here at the Lake


Some items you will want to buy once you reach your destination, which can help save space when packing. These items once again will most likely be food related. Depending on how far you are traveling to your vacation home, you will want to buy your refrigerated items such as milk and cheese upon arrival. You can also buy things you need to replenish after past stays, such as the toilet paper, paper towels, etc. mentioned above. It’s easier just to buy those items here than lug them from home and leave here.
