We has stayed at BSV before. It does seems sort funny that a beachfront property would not offer at least beach chairs and umbrellas to its guests. Of course it's another expense they want to avoid. But another reason book somewhere if you need regular amenities like , housekeeping, a pool, restaurant and bar, a generator when the power goes off and it does often, a water back up, good TV, nighttime security is a must or someone to call on property if something breaks, etc etc. You do miss them until you need them. We sometimes we like the little guesthouses or airbnb properties but they just don't offer things we like to have. BSV has a good following so obviously they know to expect and can deal with it.
