Cottage Rental Essentials: What to Pack for a Comfortable Stay in Martha’s Vineyard

Planning an unforgettable getaway to Martha’s Vineyard? You’ll want to make sure you pack all the essentials to ensure you have a comfortable and seamless stay. This is our curated list to make sure you have everything you need for your trip: 

Weather-Appropriate Clothing

Summers on the island are warm, humid, and windy, so you will want to make sure you pack lightweight and breathable clothing. Be prepared for cooler evenings by packing layers! Some of our layering essentials include sweaters, long pants, and light jackets. Check out weather.com to stay up-to-date with daily weather forecasts so that you can plan your outfits accordingly! A pair of comfortable sneakers is another must-have to bring on your trip so you can stroll into town, explore the bustling streets of Edgartown, or for short hikes to the many nature reserves this picturesque island has to offer!

Personal Care Items and Toiletries

Bring any personal care items and toiletries to make your stay as convenient as possible! Essentials like toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, and soap are a must. Some rentals offer toiletries to their guests, so be sure to check before you pack! Bringing insect repellent and sunscreen to protect yourself from the outdoors is also a good idea; you can never be too prepared!

Linens and Towels

While Pink Rock Rentals supplies linens and towels to all guests, not all rental properties do! It’s important to check with your host prior to your stay. If your host does not provide linens and/or towels, many local services including Martha’s Vineyard Linen and Rentals do!

The Beachy Basics

If you’re headed to Martha’s Vineyard, you do not want to miss out on their stunning beaches! Pack all your beach necessities, including bathing suits, beach towels, sandals, sunscreen, and fun beach games like volleyballs or a portable speaker!
