We make ice every day and put the cubes in a bowl in the freezer, sometimes twice a day for freezer drinks!
Ceiling fans and AC, sometimes the fan is enough
Washing machine - dryer rack can work if no dryer - cuts down on clothes we take, nice to refresh bathing suits during the wk or some shirts or? - not really any trouble, quick load in the am, dry when home from beach - probably depends how long you are staying
We take a kitchen knife, but are picky on knives
