Ultimate Grocery List for Your Vacation Rental or Airbnb
If you’re renting a vacation rental or Airbnb in Orlando for a group of people, we know better than anyone that it can be a challenge to come up with a comprehensive list of groceries you might need. It’s always a good idea to check in with your vacation rental owner or host to see what they are supplying so that you don’t have to worry about things they already have on hand. Of course, you can always use a pantry and fridge stocking service such as Magical Arrivals too!
