As packing can be a nightmare and it is very easy to often forget some of your important things behind, North Coast Holiday Homes has created a printable checklist to ensure you do not forget anything at home and are prepared for beach activities.



7 Things you should do to your home before you leave for a beach holiday

To avoid coming home from a relaxing holiday and cleaning up the mess from stinky, rotten food that was left in the fridge too long, or laundry that was forgotten about in the washing machine that has now gone sour. Before you escape reality to go on an exceptional beach holiday, here are a few tips to remember to avoid before your relaxation gets shattered after arriving home.



1. Tidy up your home

Clean up your home before you leave for holiday.

2. Clean out the fridge

Freeze, eat or toss out any food in your fridge that could spoil while you are on holiday.

Take out the trash

It is worth reiterating that you should make sure to take out the trash before you leave.

3. Double–check the laundry

It’s easy to forget obvious things. The last load of laundry you forget to take out the washing machine.

4. Take precautions for a fire

Make sure to unplug electronics around the house. Not only to save you on your electricity bill but to also lower the risk of an electrical fire.

5. Lights

Don’t forget to turn off the lights around the house.

6. Doors and Windows

Make sure all doors are locked. Make sure all windows are closed and latched as monkeys can be a nuisance.

7. Geyser

Don’t forget to turn off your geyser before you leave.
