Eating, sleeping, safety and outdoors equipment are all available from this Nassau County-based company that offers flat-fee delivery service to the Hamptons and North Fork.

Families that travel back and forth from the East End to New York City might be interested in its "VIP Traveler" plan: A one-time $50 fee entitles a family to a 10 percent discount on all rental items and $10 off delivery charges for a year.
