If you must store them at a storage unit rental place, pay WAY ahead; i've read two recent stories about problems with this kind of storage. One guy was deployed & returned to find his autopayment hadn't gone through for a couple of months, followed by the storage rental place auctioning his stuff. Another guy's unit was broken into from an empty unit next to it. Having used these places for storage before, i can see how that could happen very easily.

Good Luck! I would get them to a relative, in a locked box.
