Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I wish I could give this tent 10 stars! We live in Virginia Beach and have a 9 month old baby boy. Wanted something that would pop up and pack away quickly. Took about 3 minutes to pop up & put stakes in the sand & about 2 minutes to put away/fold back up & put in bag. It has UVP 50 protection which is about 98% protection from the sun rays. The windows are on every side for a nice through breeze & easily close for privacy when I needed to nurse him. I also like the height of the windows because it allows privacy if you are laying down. Lots of pockets & 2 mesh pockets on top to keep phones dry or even listen to music but the major selling point for this tent vs all the other ones is that with the exception of the bottom pockets, IT DOESN'T HAVE ZIPPERS! Everything, including the windows, hook shut. I did a ton of research on beach tents and one of the major complaints was that the zipper rusted shut because of the salt/sand. Not an issue with this tent! :D This thing is also pretty big compared to other tents. We comfortably fit three adults and the baby. Definitely want to bring towels or something to lay on so you don't stick to the canvas bottom. I brought a cloth shower curtain we no longer use and that was perfect but didn't cover the whole bottom.. I'd say maybe a queen size sheet might fit if you're looking for full "floor" coverage. If you're super tidy, you might want to bring a little hand broom with you to sweep all of the sand out of the tent before you close it but I just waited until we got home, popped it up in the front yard and swept it out there. Definitely a great purchase and would be an excellent baby shower gift for parents live at/near the beach! This thing is AWESOME!!!
