Came back for 3 days for paperwork and run around get furniture, etc. Came again for another 3 days before we rented it out for the winter seasons. We can finally come down again for more than a few days, and hope to be able to again later this year.

My question is - what do you do with things you don't want to bring back and forth again? Personal items, perhaps a nightgown, slippers, maybe even some clothes? Shampoo, toiletries that don't go bad and the like? Maybe a favorite pillow or throw or personal pictures to put out during your stay? Do you put a storage closet in the garage with a lock? If you don't want everyone to read where you keep your "stuff" please PM me. Since we rent it out, I can't just leave things in the drawers and bathrooms. Thank you.
Measure your wealth not by the things you have, but by the things for which you wouldn't take money.
Some people use a closet in a spare bedroom and put a lock on it. Some people put a storage closet in the garage. Some people store stuff in the attic. There is also self-storage that can be rented in TV.
