Jane was a wonderful host, checking in as soon as we arrived, leaving a kite for the kids even! The beach locker has everything that you need, I overpacked beach chairs, umbrella, etc--there are beach towels and everything else that you need. One thing that you may want to bring is a portable metal fire pit and wood if you want to have a fire on the beach--it was a holiday weekend, and many families were doing so. I went to Home Depot to get one :)
