Smart sleep solutions to bring (since cribs aren’t provided)

While we don’t supply cribs or infant beds, many traveling parents create a safe, familiar sleep environment by bringing compact gear and simple comforts from home. Always follow safe sleep guidelines for your baby.

Portable sleep options

• Travel bassinet or portable crib: Choose a lightweight, foldable model you’re comfortable assembling. These pack down small and fit easily in a car trunk.
• Fitted sheets and wearable sleep sack: Keep bedding simple and familiar to maintain your routine away from home.
• White noise app or sound machine: Pair with complimentary in‑room Wi‑Fi to buffer new sounds during naps and bedtime.

Light, temperature, and routine cues

• Portable blackout shades: Create a darker nap corner, especially helpful in summer months.
• Compact thermometer and sleepwear layers: Every unit has air conditioning; bring layers to fine‑tune baby’s comfort.
• Bedtime ritual items: A favorite board book (our library is also great for story time), pacifier, or small lovey (for older infants who use one) can help signal sleep in a new space.

Suite setup tips

• Pick a sleep corner: Many suites are clean and spacious, offering flexibility to place a travel bassinet away from foot traffic.
• Use your patio or balcony thoughtfully: After lights out, relax outdoors with a quiet drink or book while staying within earshot.
• Consider sound buffering: A partially closed bathroom door or closet near the sleeping area can dampen ambient sounds.

Feeding made simple with full kitchens

Every suite, cottage, and studio includes a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, stovetop, and an oven or microwave, plus cookware, utensils, dishware, glasses, oven mitts, and dish soap. You’ll also find a tea/coffee maker, and filtered drinking water is provided on site.

Practical ways to use these amenities with an infant:

• Bottle and pump care: In‑suite sinks, drying space, and dish soap simplify cleaning. Use your preferred sterilizing method with available appliances (stovetop or microwave) as appropriate for your gear.
• Fresh snacks and simple meals: Prep purées or finger foods you know your baby will eat, then store portions in the full‑size refrigerator.
• BBQ gazebo dinners: Grill while another adult handles bedtime—then switch off and enjoy the meal on your patio or balcony.

Daytime rhythm: play, relax, and reset

• Beach time on a smoke-free shoreline: The private beach includes complimentary sun loungers reserved for registered guests—ideal for shaded breaks with a canopy and quick feeds.
• Playground and lawns: The playground and open spacious lawns are great for tummy time mats, early crawlers, and stroller strolls.
• Quiet moments: Retreat to the library during the warmest hours for reading and wind‑down time.
• On‑water options for parents: Complimentary paddleboards, canoes, and a double kayak are available; many families alternate short paddles while the other parent relaxes shoreside with the baby.
