Bill and Pat answered your questions well. Regarding room, the only part of the unit you don't have use of if you rent one bedroom only, is the actual other bedroom. The unit itself is huge, plenty of room for a couple. Regarding umbrellas, there were a couple really small umbrellas in the pool building when we were there in June. Looked to be left behind by other guests. They were nothing like Craig's umbrellas, which are heavy and sturdy. There is a microwave, yes, everything you need. As Bill said, the pool towels are GORGEOUS. There is now maid service every day. There are also coolers in the pool room, but they were much too large for us to carry to the beach, as they were full sized coolers. We rent a cooler also from Craig, a small, flat top one. Otherwise, Beachside provides basically anything you could want.
