Great Base Camp for a day at the beach.Apr 28, 2009
By Tom Gritton
Bought this for our spring break camping trip in Florida's panhandle.
First day was VERY windy. If we had a tail, I think we could have flown it as a kite. I consider it a success that the cabana didn't rip apart.
Our second adventure worked much better. Still windy, but not as bad as the first day. Filled the pockets with sand, (and buried them in sand as well) Worked great and it was nice to have a place to keep all the beach toys and get out of the sun and wind occasionally.

 Good overall, one annoying flawSep 03, 2009
By wings
This tent is a great alternative to an umbrella and stands up to the wind surprisingly well. However, there is an issue that's really annoying. The carry bag is very narrow. Once you've opened up the tent, it's extremely difficult to roll it up tightly enough to fit into the carry bag - especially when you're out there in the wind and sand without a flat surface. And forget the poles, they won't fit it, you have to carry them by hand in their own bag (which has no handle, just a tie). It's such a stupid design flaw because the carry bag is made of some generic fabric - would 1-2 extra inches have been that expensive?

 Awesome for small children at the beachJul 17, 2009
By J. Helderman
"beach addict"
We used this cabana on 2 separate trips to the beach and have loved it. It was a great place for my 6 month old to sleep and not get sunburned. Great cross breezes with the flaps up. Didn't use the sandbags, just put our cooler in one front corner and beach bag in the other. Also made for nice semi-private nursing with adequate breeze to not overheat. Packs relatively compactly, but cannot fit tent and poles back into one bag. Still the 2 together do not take up much space. After years of using an umbrella, this was better for our needs with an infant and is easier to carry around. Would recommend it to those with small children.

Big and roomyOct 23, 2009
By Michelle
"Michelle"
If you are looking for a tent large enough to hold big kids and adults, this is a good one. It's very roomy and open. It is not as easy to assemble as some other ones, but not too hard. It folds up to a reasonable size. We used it in the Caribbean and found it stayed nice and cool due to the open front (getting one of the models with 4 sides instead of 3 would have been a big mistake), was easy to shake out, and provided a lot of shade. Our toddler napped happily in it and hubby and I could both sit in it and stay nice and cool.
My only complaints are (1) it arrived without the set of stakes, but the manufacturer could not have been nicer about rectifying the problem; and (2) you'll never get it back in the bag once you unroll it - the bag is too small.

Absolute joy!Jul 07, 2009
By Alicia Deavens
"Allons-y!"
My family adores this little jewel of a find. It is just perfect for our family of 4. I have a 10 year old and a 5 year old and it is perfect shade for them at the beach or at the park. Also perfect for my husband and myself. All 4 of us can sit inside. The company is great also. When this item shipped, I noticed the stakes had been left out and they were listed as included on the box. I emailed them one time and had an very quick response with the assurance that the stakes would be sent right away. Great product ... also excited about other items on their site for camping, etc. We are happy and look forward to using it again and again.
