Good cookware is a must. You should expect to find a variety of good quality pots and pans in various sizes that will help you create the perfect meal. Sauté fresh seafood, steam veggies, or boil water for pasta. In your vacation rental, you’ll be able to make yummy meals of all kinds

Knives and Cutting Boards

Chop, dice and prep like a chef with a good set of knives and a durable cutting board. Slice up fresh veggies and fruit, cut sandwiches in half for picnic lunches at the beach, or slice a steak cooked to perfection. A sturdy cutting board protects countertops and makes chopping safer and easier.

Measuring Cups and Spoons

If you’re someone who loves to bake or wants to try new recipes, having measuring cups and spoons on hand is key. With them, you can follow recipes accurately, ensuring that your meals come out just right. This type of precision is necessary when it comes to baking!

Coffee Maker and Kettle

Nothing beats waking up to your favorite morning brew, made especially the way you like it. Having a coffeemaker in your vacation rental makes your mornings feel more like home. Brew your coffee easily and then savor it in the comforts of your rental. If you’re more of a tea person, having an electric kettle or stovetop kettle will also be a handy kitchen essential.

Toaster Oven or Microwave

Having a toaster oven is one of those underrated kitchen essentials nobody really talks about – but they can make a really big difference in your daily routine! Toast bread to accompany your scrambled eggs. It seems like microwaves have been getting a bad rap these days. But you recognize that you really miss its convenience when you don’t have one! Your vacation rental comes with a microwave to help you reheat delicious leftovers from that great restaurant you went to last night, or warm up a midnight snack. Having these appliances in your rental give you the variety you need during your stay.

Cooking Utensils

No kitchen is complete without the right utensils. From spatulas and wooden spoons to tongs and ladles, these tools are essential for stirring, flipping, and serving your meals. Having the right utensils on hand makes cooking more convenient and enjoyable.

Mixing Bowls and Storage Containers

These next items add another layer of convenience. Mix up salads, pancake batter, or marinate meat in large mixing bowls. Large mixing bowls hold meals well to serve family style around the table. Having storage containers are another plus since they keep leftovers fresh and are great for transporting items for a picnic at the beach.

Blender or Food Processor

Can you say frozen margaritas? With a blender in your vacation rental, you can create your favorite drinks, smoothies and soups in no time. Some rentals may also have a food processor, which is great for chopping ingredients, making sauces, or preparing dips to snack on during your stay.

Dishware and Glassware

This goes without saying, but a kitchen isn’t complete without plates, bowls, and glasses! Serve your favorite meals with style using a variety of dishware and glassware available in your vacation rental.
