What a great thing for your family. I recall your posts about how nice it was for you to get away after you lost your child. To have a place you can offer to others to get away is a lovely way to honor her.
When you buy bedding, get duvets with covers. They're much easier to wash and if you have a second cover for each bed, you can do quick changes. Either that or thin bedspreads that are easily washed.

You do have laundry machines, right? That's a definite must-have at the beach for my family.
I also agree with not putting scented anything in the place.
Hair dryer, yes! I am so used to hotels having them that I don't even think to pack one anymore.

Oops! Off to edit again. [quote author=" PLurker" source="/post/1533941/thread" timestamp="1487177664"] Besides everything listed, we like to have an iron and ironing board. Clothes are extra wrinkly when packed in a suitcases. Also a crackpot is handy to set up a meal in the morning. It can cook while you're out and about during the day exploring. Kitchen wash cloths, hand towels, dishcloths to dry dishes. I know it's just a typo but it made me giggle nonetheless. [/quote]

Since we went last Easter we have been working towards getting a place. We have a separate account that we still have that has money that was donated to us, and none of that is used for the condo. We have used that money for helping send other kids to hospice camp, helping pay for the Buddy Bench in her memory at our elementary school, and other things like that. I have an online friend who lost her son a few years before Phoebe died. He has a memorial at a turtle pond at their zoo and some people ruined the fence so the entire area is roped off right now for safety reasons so we will be donating to help fix that area Thank you you all for your good ideas. My DH and I were talking about them tonight, we definitely will be getting towels as we go. I doubt we will be doing any renting out this season. I am off in the summer and this year we are not going back to school until AFTER Labor Day, so we will get an extra 2 weeks of summer!!!!!
