What to pack. What to buy.

Our Regal Palms townhouse is your "home away from home." It comes equipped with a full kitchen and a washer and dryer. So you can easily stock snacks and drinks--or even prepare a few meals so you can avoid the expense of restaurants. You can also pack lighter than you might normally pack since doing laundry is fast and convenient.

In speaking with our guests, many people have questions about what they need to bring and what they should plan to buy once they arrive at Regal Palms.

You don't need to bring bed linens or towels. Those are provided in the unit. You do need to bring your clothing and other personal items. You may want to bring your own toiletries, or if you'd like to carry on your luggage to avoid those pesky fees, consider purchasing toiletries once you arrive in Davenport. You may also wish to bring favorite DVDs, which you can watch using one of our DVD players.

Depending on your personal preference and the length of your stay at Regal Palms, you may wish to purchase some or all of the following:

  • Dishwasher detergent and/or dish soap and scouring pads
  • Disposable storage containers, such as those made by the Glad or Ziploc brands
  • Aluminum foil, plastic wrap and/or wax paper if you plan to cook
  • Condiments (sugar, salt, pepper, etc.)
  • Paper products (napkins, paper towels, facial tissue, along with additional toilet paper)
  • Laundry detergent and fabric softener (Tip: The new three-in-one Purex sheets are a fantastic choice. You can get detergent and softener in one mess-free product. If you have sheets leftover, they're easy to bring home in your suitcase!)
  • All-purpose cleaning wipes
  • Milk, coffee, and all other food items you wish to have on hand

There's a great Publix grocery store at the corner of Route 27 and Sand Mine Road--about a two-minute drive from Regal Palms. If you want more savings or selection, consider visiting the Wal-Mart SuperCenter on Route 27. From Sand Mine Road, make a left on to Route 27 and travel about three or four miles. You'll be there in no time!
