Perfect Family Beach Tent

We grabbed this while we were in FL for a few days on vacation - such a great option! Plenty of space, packs up well and seemed like one of the best layouts of all the different sun shelters we saw out there. The price is what makes it even better! $50 for my own beach tent that I could use whenever and wherever I wanted vs $40 for a stationary beach hut rental that was a one day/no moving option. No brainer! We left at the Airbnb and didn't even feel bad about spending $ on something to give it away!(We live in the midwest and flying home with it wasn't an option)

Good overall, but a few small corrections would make it better 1. Hooks inside to hold fold down curtains when down. There are hooks to hold them up but when down they flap around in the sligtest breeze 2. Additional stakes needed to hold the front skirt when down. Again a small breeze flips this all over when down, getting sand all inside 3. Folding legs feel like they will break when folding because they twist a little and the direction of folding changes a little 4. The folding and packing itself is a little difficult. All in all a nice setup for the beach, but could be a little better

Easy to set up!

Went up in less than 3 minutes! I bought this one and another more traditional tent style with poles for an upcoming beach trip, and I'm returning the other one. This one is SO much quicker. I got it back in the bag within about 5 minutes, but I wish the bag was a bit wider. It was like squishing a sleeping bag back into it, was pretty challenging to get it to fit once collapsed. It's plenty big for a family of 4 or 5 to sit inside, as long as the kids are small. I'd say maybe 3 adults otherwise. The floor is around 4' by 4' (forgot to measure), and it's tall enough for an adult to sit inside with a shorter sports bag chair. But it seems well-made, and I think it'll stay put with the sand bags filled or stakes. The sand bags aren't connected to the tent except by strings, which is kind of weird, but hopefully it'll work ok in light wind. I wish the top of the tent had a more reflective coating, and bigger windows for ventilation, but it should give us a bit of shade. I'm glad I got this one, as the other one from another store with the 2 classic thread-through tent poles wasn't even halfway assembled in 5 minutes, and I'm a seasoned tent camper that can usually set them up quick.

Great sun shade for 2!

Really pleased with this product! I live in Florida and try to make the most out of beach days so shade is a non-negotiable. I have been using an outdoor tent that's more intended for camping and it's annoyingly heavy to carry onto the beach. This sun shade has been the perfect replacement. It's light weight and super simple to put together and take down. I didn't have too much difficulty (with some help) putting it back into the bag after using it. It definitely fits and zips up all the way. The bag material does not feel super durable but we'll see how it holds up over time. The tent itself feels well made for the price. You can clasp/unclasp the windows and the opening; no zippers. There are pockets on either side of the tent to store things. I would say this tent comfortably fits two adults with room for some gear. There aren't any extra stakes so the front opening requires something to weigh it down so it doesn't flop around in the wind. For the overall structure, the sandbags and stakes held up really well in windy conditions! I didn't have any fear of it collapsing or blowing away. I definitely recommend this sun shades if you are looking for something of this size.

One of my best purchases ever!

Have had skin cancer and have to stay outdoors of the sun, but want to be outside at the beach, softball and soccer games. This is great! Love the screened in windows. I can see me setting it up at night to keep the mosquitoes and gnats away too.

Works but has problems

Works but is too small. Can't get it back into the sleeve it came in. Really tough to handle at the beach in the wind.
