Rio Portable Nantucket Cabana Beach Hut Beach Shelter SPF 50

The only advantage to this tent is that I bought it for much much cheaper than any of the competing tents. This shelter turned out to be way more frustrating than it was worth. Right out of the box, one of the pieces broke off. It is clearly cheaply made. Once I got it up, I thought it would work, but every few minutes it would blow completely on top of me. I tried many different orientations trying to get it away from the wind but nothing worked and it was only a mildy windy day for the beach. Finally I just gave up and packed up. If you are interested in beach shade, I would save my money and upgrade!

This cabana will give you good value for money. Of course it will not last forever, but it has everything you need. It's perfectly spacious, two people with big bath towels plus bags, shoes, cooler etc. fit in easily. I found it easy to put up, although I have to admit that its easier to do it with two persons. No problems with wind or heat. I use it at the west cost beaches and I love it.

I bought this through sunfriendlyproducts.com and worked good 1st time. 2nd titme, wind broke the pole ripping its loop. It stood up from strong wind for quite some time though. The manufacturer did replaced with brand-new product when the web merchant refused to exchange.
Good product from good manufacturer for the money. Portable,light, big enough for family of 2-3, and relatively easy to set up. Just remember to keep it down when it's windy! It needs 2 persons to do the job.

I haven't been able to use my cabana since I bought it since our vacation to the beach was postponed, but I did set it up in our living room upon receiving it. The structure was a roomier than I thought and it appears that it will hold up.
The only downside was the way the cabana is constructed after you put it up. It was a little difficult for one person and I don't think the stakes are going to be good for the beach - they are a little short to stick in sand....dirt yes.
But, I figure that I'll have our stuff in it while at the beach and that should hold it in place.
It is a good product for the price and I am glad that I got it.

I bought this for our baby to take to the beach thinking it would be light weight to carry back and forth to the hotel. We used it once. My husband and I were so upset after getting it up with the breeze off the ocean we didn't think it could get worse but IT DID. When we went to take it down it was blowing every which way and blowing sand everywhere. Not a good experience. Waste of $35.00..
