Beach rental rates at HHI

[MarkyMouse]

Can anyone give me the rates for renting the beach chairs and umbrellas right out from the Disney Beach House? We have rented them before and can't recall the rates. I remember that there is a cheaper rate if you reserve them for the week. Any help would be nice.

Here is the link to the Beach Patrol website. The ones you rent at the beach house are actually supplied by the Beach Patrol, not DVC: http://www.shorebeach.com/rentals.htm

I didn't see prices listed but I vaguely remember it being about $25/day, which is high to me. There are also 3rd party rental companies on the island that will rent 2 chair/1 umbrella packages for around $75/week. You could also take a trip over to the Piggly Wiggly or Walmart and purchase these things for less than a weekly rental. Granted, they wouldn't be high-end stuff, but even if you tossed them or donated them to another guest at the end of your trip, it would still be less expensive than a weekly rental.

I don't remember the Beach House itself renting out chairs & umbrellas ( after many trips there if they in fact do this I feel more clueless than usual )

Beach lifeguards have chairs & umbrellas to rent by BH access; here's their link but it doesn't have pricing

I want to say $20 something for day, but its been awhile.

And nearby

but this means you taking items back / forth to resort-beach.

We rented a set, 2 chairs and 1 umbrella one day is 30$. Each added consecutive day is 18$ we rented for 4 consecutive days and it was 84$ which is really expensive, but if you don't want to drag your chairs there each day I suppose it's worth it.
One day rental for an umbrella is 18$ with each added consecutive day is 12$.

Just buy beach chairs at Walmart of somewhere and give them away after if you like.

Another thing to consider is that you can't move them. They are lined up in a row. We brought our own chairs and umbrella, but if it's windy you need a sturdy umbrella. The inexpensive ones were flying around like crazy last June when we were there. We liked being able to move closer to the water-and putting our chairs very close to the surf on those hot days.
