It always started the same way.

We’d pull up to the Shore rental, kids half-asleep in the backseat, car stuffed to the brim. After the long drive, all we wanted was to drop our bags, crack a window, and finally relax.

But then someone would ask: “Did we pack trash bags?”
Or we’d go to do the dishes and realize... no soap.
Or — worst of all — the bathroom was out of toilet paper.

So, instead of kicking off vacation, we’d head right back out — to the store, to wait in line, to lose another hour.

After a few years of the same routine, we asked ourselves: what if that part just... didn’t exist?

That’s where Rental Essentials came from — the box we always wished we had. A simple, useful, already-stocked set of everyday items that shows up at your rental before you do. No checklists, no stress, no forgotten things.

We’re not just a business. We’re travelers too. Parents, planners, and beach-lovers who believe that vacation should feel like vacation from the moment you walk in the door.

We’ll take care of the boring stuff — so you can take a deep breath, look around, and start enjoying what you came for.
