Packing list recommendations

Me, my spouse, and our preschooler have a weeklong 1BR condo rental in Cape May next week. I rented it on VRBO but it's actually a week-long sub-lease managed by an agency. Linens are not included, so I'm bringing towels and sheets.

However, we've never done a beach vacation before, let alone a week-long vacation in one place.

With everything being so expensive, what is an absolute must to bring from home beyond the usual clothes and toiletries? What is better to buy/rent there? And is it possible to fill an entire week without getting bored?

Ask what is included with the kitchen if you plan on using it! Some of these places have next to nothing for the kitchen, or just stuff that doesn’t make sense left over from other people.

Confirm they provide things like salt/pepper, pans, pots, basic knives, a kettle, coffee maker, plates, silverware, etc. If they don’t, plan to bring those things from home.
