RonDon--BSV has a porch for each unit which is fully shaded, basically all the time, with two chaise lounge chairs, and a small dining table with two chairs. Or, on the sand itself, we always rent an umbrella from Craig at Packlight, for about $10 a week for a huge big sturdy umbrella.

Also, you can sit in the main living room, as I usually do, in a huge big comfy chair, smack dab in front of the slider, and have a full, unobstructed view of the water. Also, there is a lovely shady gazebo by the pool with two large dining tables with several chairs around them. We generally go off season, but I can usually sit there in the shade by the pool and read, with a view of the ocean AND the airport, and have the place all to myself. Next time you're on island, you should go check out the units.
