We inquired about what beach supplies would be available and were told IF previous renter left anything we could use it so we hauled much from home. When we arrived there was a closet full available. The bathroom door in master squeaked and cold water dripped continuously. This is all just housekeeping and in no way took away from the wonderful time we all had. Thank you
