1. Preparing to Move into Your
Vacation Home for the Summer

2. Can You Move Everything
Yourself?
The first thing you
have to ask yourself
before the move is
“can I move everything
myself, or do I need a
professional moving
service?”
Though it might be a
little more expensive,
hiring movers might be
the best option.
Moving to your vacation house can
be a big ordeal.

3. Pack Strategically
Since you have more time and you’re
moving fewer things, try to pack
strategically.
Pack carefully and neatly. Label your
boxes and don’t just shove things in.
Consider the things you will use the most
and only pack those. Honestly, the less
you pack the better, but don’t forget the
necessary items you will need everyday or
for certain activities.

4. Do You Have Children?
Moving is not always a child friendly activity.
If you live close to your vacation rental, consider
dropping younger children off at a babysitter for
the day.
If you don’t live
close, then you
may want to hire an
in-home babysitter
to distract the kids
while you move in.

5. Do You Have Pets?
Another thing to think about
when moving to your vacation
home for the summer is pets.
Moving can be stressful
for pets, so if you can,
don’t move them until
the last moment.
You can also hire a pet
sitter to look after your
cat or dog on moving
day.

6. Keep Track of Small Parts
Keep small parts close to
you in carefully labeled
jars for bags.
Screws, nails, and even
cables can get misplaced
easily, so keep them
close at hand.
Mason jars are good for this task.
Keep them in the front of your
vehicle in the dashboard so that you
always know where to find them.

7. Take Photos of Electronics
If you’re moving a lot of electronics
like T.V.s, computers, and even
radios, take picture of the electronic
hook-ups.
You can easily use your
Smartphone to take a picture of
the hook-ups so you know
exactly how they’re supposed
to fit after you start unpacking.
To make the process even
easier, label your cords or keep
them in labeled plastic bags.

8. Enjoy Your Summer!
Don’t let the packing
process stress you out. If
you plan everything out,
you’ll be just fine. Just think
about the awesome
summer you have ahead of
you to keep your spirits up!
