Staying in a condo/house, what do you bring?

[proud_canadian]

I know there are lots of things we will need like hand soap, shampoo, shower soap, dishsoap, dishwasher soap, laundry stuff, garbage bags, paper towels, toilet paper, etc.

I'm just trying to figure out if it will be best to bring all that stuff (and take up precious room in the luggage - we're flying),.... or wait till we get there and go shopping, but likely end up having to spend a lot more (or have a lot left over)...

What do you guys do?

For fly-to destinations, we normally bring down travel-sized bottles of toiletries. We generally don't bring anything else---often, some of those supplies will be in the home already, either supplied by the management company or left by prior guests. You won't generally pay more for any of those things in a Florida store than you would back home.

We fly so I just bring a few dishwasher tabs, soap, shampoo, bounce sheets, maybe a few garbage bags. When I get there I buy laundry deterg, regular dish deterg if there isn't any, toilet paper and paper towels.
