10 Personal Effects You Should Leave at Your Property...and 10 You Shouldn't

Tips for which personal items to leave at your vacation rental home -- and which to leave behind.
 

 

1) One or two family photos. But not: A shrine dedicated to each of your grandchildren.

2) Books. But not: Anything too political, religious or racy.

3) Children and Family-Oriented Movies. But not: Home movies or anything you wouldn't want your eight-year-old to watch.

4) Your Favorite Recipes. But not: Complicated dishes that require scads of hard-to-find ingredients.

 

5) First aid supplies like band-aids. But not: Your personal prescription bottles.

6) Coffee, tea, sugar, and creamer. But not: Opened food items like cereal and peanut butter.

 

7) Sunscreen and/or bug spray. But not: Your well-worn sun-hat and snake chaps.

8) Handmade decor like quilts and seashell centerpieces. But not: Your child's kindergarten hand-print.

9) Office supplies like pens and paper. But not: Personal stationery with your smiling face on it.

10) A computer. But not: Your personal PC with your income spreadsheets.
