I saw some tents on Amazon while looking for something else, so started reading the reviews and the specs - this one caught my eye because of its easy setup and takedown and I am so glad it is the one I chose!
We took this tent to the Emerald Coast this October. I did watch the included DVD before the trip for the hint on how to close it easily, and it was a snap. I loved that there were no poles to deal with, no setup at all except for unzipping the carry-bag and then having my 4-year-old shovel the sand into the pockets for weight. There was a decent breeze coming off the Gulf, and the tent just sat with no problems.
The size is nice. We had one low chair for an adult, another adult on a towel, and my son had plenty of room still to dig and build.
I liked that there was no floor - while my little guy was working on his sand castles he was not getting a burn. We came home from a week at the beach, both of us fair-skinned, and no burn at all - this tent was wonderful. Having the side openings and the back unzipped created a wonderful crossdraft so it was not too hot being enclosed. We just turned the tent as the sun moved to keep the sun off - you can't do that this easily if your tent is staked!
I can see us using this tent often in the coming year, not just for the beach.

5.0 out of 5 stars in one word - Genius!!!, June 2, 2011

This review is from: Shade Shack Instant Pop Up Family Beach Tent (Misc.)

first of all, I NEVER write reviews. it's not that I don't like to share thought, it's just that I buy so many things and usually just read the reviews and count on the people. and then i get the item i ordered, and go on with my life. but this is something i had to find time to sit and write. so here it goes:
upon a weekend on the lake (that has a sea sand shore) and the fact that i have a baby and a toddler (4 months and 2.5 yo) I needed something to help out with the sun. last vacation on the beach, the baby spent all her time in the stroller or on a towel on the sand and we had to shield from the sun with shade of stuff we had around (chair, towels, stroller) - not much fun. for this conning weekend i searched allllll around the internet and saw many cabanas and tents and half tents, with floor, without floor, and this one just popped.

first - it has no floor (r u kidding me? floor on the beach? do u know how hot it gets?? ) so the toddler can definitely have some break from the sea and play in the sand in a shaded area.

second - one side is open, and the opposite side is close and can be zipped up to open as well. that makes all the difference bcz when i sat inside it with the zipper closed - which means that the wall was closed, and the 2 windows were open, it was still very very hot inside. when i opened the wall, it was awesome breezy and nice.

third - you don't have to put the stakes they give u to attach to the sandy floor. u can just put sand the side pockets, and you're golden. then u can just turn this "shader" as i call it, every time the sun moves. no hassle, no worries.

to sum it up - this is NO TENT!! this is a SHADER and it's an awesome one. it literally popped up from the cover (do that away from children!!! and better outside where u have space and no furniture) and to close it down, i didn't even watched the DVD, the paper with explanations and pictures is more then enough, i learned how to close it in 3 minutes on the clock. so easy, right to the bag, and we are done.

this is the best item i purchased in a long time. with kids, specially babies, who has time to open, close, take time with making shelters? this is so easy, comfortable, easier than umbrella and way more useable (i use it now for my deck, i have no shade in my deck and cant get out afternoons since we are facing west and the sun is boiling us) i open it (2 seconds) put the inflatable pool under it, sent my toddler out, and we are done for a while!!! shady, breezy, awesome. i even sat with her in my chair while she was splashing in her pool.
I hope i helped and wish you an awesome vacation on the beach!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have for the Beach!, June 1, 2010

I have an 11-month old and my sister has a 12-month old, and we were planning to take them both to the beach for the first time. I knew we would need some sort of cover and shade from the sun. I really wanted to purchase the cabana tent from One Step Ahead since it received so many great reviews. However, it was $80 and out of stock anyway. I purchased the Shade Shack hoping it would be okay for this trip, and I'm SO GLAD I DID! It was less expensive and perfect for our trip. It does take a few tries (at home in the living room) to learn how to fold it up, but it pops up very easily and stays in place on the beach with just some sand weighing down the sides. We were in Perdido Key, FL, and left it on the beach for about a week while we were there. It never blew down and provided the shade we needed. Since the sides can be opened, we had a great breeze blowing through it and never got too hot. I plan to use it every year for the beach, and even for our backyard during the summer.
