Sunkissed & Serene: Your Ultimate Summer Staycation Checklist
There’s something magical about summer staycations — the kind where mornings are slow, sunlight dances through the trees, and the ocean breeze whispers relax. Whether you’re retreating to The Nest’s cozy forest hideaway or soaking in the seaside charm of Treasure Coast Hideaway, packing right makes all the difference.
Here’s your ultimate checklist for a summer staycation that’s equal parts style, comfort, and bliss.
☀️ Everyday Essentials
No matter where you’re headed:
Breezy, lightweight outfits (hello, flowy linen and sundresses!)
Swimsuits — yes, plural.
Sunglasses & sun hat for effortless summer chic
Reusable water bottle to stay cool & hydrated
Your fave book or journal (for unplugged moments)
Phone/camera for capturing the dreamy views
Sunscreen (reef-safe is even better!)
A cozy hoodie or wrap for cooler nights
Slippers or comfy sandals for lounging

Comfy sneakers or hiking boots for exploring the trails
Bug spray or natural repellent (because summer nights in the woods)
A good read for fireside moments
Travel games or cards for cozy indoor fun
A thermos for coffee or tea on the deck
S’mores kit — trust us, it’s essential 🍫🔥
