Tommy Bahama Portable Beach Tent

Nice looking, great value and size.Set up is really easy, wind makes it a little trickier.It fits back into the included carry bag really easy which is a big plus for any tentFirst day at the beach it was a godsend. Kept me from getting completly fried. Moderate wind requires the windows unzipped to keep the thing from flying away. The included stakes are a joke. Like 6" of skinny metal that did not work in sand. I used some 12" shiskabob skewers as stakes and that worked great until the wind got extreme and Nothing worked and had to take it down. In hindsight I could have turned it around to not have the open side face the wind but the whole point is to face the beach right. It was understandable though as any type of quick shade would have trouble in high winds. I cannot wait to use this at the lake, kids sporting events, park day ect. Seems decently water resistant too for those rainy track meets that are so fun to spectate..cough.If I could give it 4.5 stars I would. Happy with my purchase. Amazon rushed it to me in one day in time to leave for the Beach. Gotta love Amazon!

I purchased this item for an upcoming trip to Myrtle Beach SC, I was able to put the shelter together in a matter of minutes. Once you start getting it together the process is very easy. The shelter is very large and has convenient air vents. The color is good and it also has ground stakes for added sturdiness. I put it together in my living room . The instructions look a little confusing at first glance but hang in there, I assure you it will be made plain. I am giving this 4 stars bc the thread on the top slot of the shelter is already unraveling. The thread on the carry bag strap is also undone completely. This was a disappointment and I’d rather not send it back for that. I haven’t used this yet however, I hope it is quality as there were several other options I could have purchased for less money. The carry bag is a nice option and was one pro that led to this purchase. The shelter weighs about 4 1/2 pds in the carry bag. I’ll have to do some sewing but it will probably make for a better item!

This was super easy to put together, by myself in the wind in the beach, no kidding.It seems great quality, and was just what we needed for breaks from the sun at the beach all day. It does come with stakes to help keep it in place, however the wind was strong and i had to repetition the stakes a few times throughout the day, but seriously, no biggie. For the sand, i would have preferred a better anchoring system than just the straight shorter aluminum stakes. i imagine for grass/soil, they would work perfectly. I'm going to order some other buriable stakes to use this at the beach, but it was hardly an issue really; just for my peace of mind.

I was able to get it by myself in less than 20 minutes the first time without the instructions handy. Once you get the sides sorted out it is pretty quick going. My main gripe is I will never be able to roll it tightly enough to get in the carry bag- already tried before I put it up. I’m going to get a yoga mat bag which should be perfect. It’s pretty large.

I love it so much. So much daughter. But we just got it and I was trying at home and saw that one of this string is ripped. I was on the floor when I saw it. Sadly I will be contact with them to change it for new.

I used this on the beach. I did a practice assembly before I was going to use it. Takes less than 3-5 minutes to assemble. The anchoring stakes could be longer. SOF 100+ kept me sunburn free. The screened windows unzipper for cross ventilation. Had a cool breeze. I love this sunscreen tent. Cleans easy. Folds back up into the carry bag. Lightweight to carry. I didn't use chairs but i would think you need short beach chairs. One problem was the stakes are small. Ez to lose in sand . They should be heavier metal and longer.

I would have given it 5 stars but the carrying case ripped during the first use. The shelter is really nice and easy to put up and take down within minutes. It does close down easily to go in the carrying case. Very light weight and works great. There are air vents on both sides that allows the wind to go through so it doesn't pick up the shelter. Good purchase overall.

Great quality. Wish maybe the steaks were a little longer. I was sitting in this on the beach with my baby and as soon as I got up, it blew away. So I’m just glad I didn’t lay my baby down inside of it when I got up! He would have been badly injured. But I can’t say that’s the product’s fault. Just a word to the wise.

Excelente producto ayuda mucho para protegerse del Sol, soporta racha de viento fuertes sin terminar desarmándose, las estacas son muy útiles y la funda para llevarla también. Muy buena relación de benéficio contra el costo y calidad del producto.

Arrived so quickly & was exactly what I wanted. I had tried one belonging to my son last summer & really wanted one for the beach. Goes together easily; good size-- you can fit two beach chairs inside comfortably. Do have to watch wind but with some weight inside & tie downs, it stays in place. Perfect for beach, park, etc. Very compact & easy to take along on outings.

Only set up in living room so far, decent size and easy set up and take down. Couple things I thought were odd are the zippers to open the air flow windows are on the outside instead of the inside and it’s tough to get back into the carry bag provided, I ended up packing it into an old duffle we had layin around instead and now I’m excited to try it out at the beach.

Easy to use.. once you get the hang of it. Great for providing shade at the beach/park on a hot summers day!

Big enough for two adults and appears well made. Easy to set up too! Love the color of the fabric.
