“We purchased both this tent and the smaller model and we are extremely happy with both. We plan to use this tent (XL) for the beach and the smaller tent for local fairs, festivals and airshows.”

“We purchased the Pacific Breeze beach tent to take with us on a recent trip to the Oregon coast. I practiced setting the tent up in my home before hitting the beach, and it couldn’t have been easier. It took me less than a minute to unpack it, lay it out, and pop it up by myself. Collapsing it was just as easy, and they actually give you a carrying bag that is large enough to accommodate the tent after it’s been opened. It was the perfect tool to keep us out of the wind and sun for hours on the beach. The sand bags work perfectly to keep the tent in place, even in fairly strong winds. We had a little trouble taking the tent down in the wind, however, and unfortunately somehow ripped a small hole in it during the process. The real reason I am writing this glowing review, though, is to commend Pacific Breeze for their outstanding customer service. I received a follow up email a couple of weeks after purchasing the product, asking how we liked it…”

This tent is a really impressive product. I spent a lot of time researching which beach tent to buy and which options were most important to me. While the price on the cheaper options was very appealing, after reading about people’s experience setting it up I decided it was worth spending the extra money and going with one of the easier to set up options. I decided to go with the EasyUp beach tent because based on the video on their website it seemed really easy to set up and take down. I often take my kids to the beach myself and I needed something that I could set up by myself and not have to spend 20 minutes working on. After receiving the tent, it was clear the company spent a lot of time thinking through small details to help enhance the overall user experience. The windows are nice and large and help provide for ventilation and a breeze on hot days, there are easily assessable pockets to store things like suntan lotion or other frequently used small items and I’m a big fan of the colors.

“This tent is amazing! I purchased it for my one week stay with my friend who lives on the coast of SC. When you take it out of the bag, it pops up immediately. The stakes held it perfectly in the sand, and would do the same on grass. It was bigger than we thought! The fold up is tricky at first. Don’t use the video that is emailed to you when you purchase, YouTube how to put away the icorer. We watched a version that was so simple we were shocked, after having tried the other way for like 20 minutes. You will not be disappointed!”

“It made our sweet babes first beach trip fantastic.”
By Shawnon April 15, 2016 Color: Blue|Verified Purchase
“We purchased this tent to shelter our four month old baby from the sun while on vacation in St. Croix. It is lightweight (we placed it in one of our checked bags) and it was easy to put up by myself while wearing the baby; it pops open in seconds. It comes with six stakes, which were sufficient for our needs, but there are also two pockets which run along the length of the outside walls that can be filled with sand for additional anchoring. It’s pretty simple to fold, although one time we had a bit of trouble (something twisted the wrong way), but it was fine after we opened it up again and re-folded. There was plenty of room inside for the baby to nap. It lasted through our vacation (which is all we had hoped for) and we brought it home to use in the summer. Most importantly, no sunburn for baby (or Mommy)!”

“Little bit challenging to set the tent up while on the beach which was my original intention for it. I think it will work well for other play at home, not on the beach.”
ByPurple Ponyon July 11, 2017 Verified Purchase
First, I notice the price on this has more than doubled from the $20 I paid for it a few weeks ago. Must be about to go “on sale”. It’s not really worth the $20 I paid. The fabric is too thin to block much light, so it’s not really shady inside. It’s about as thick as a plastic grocery bag, if slightly more durable. It is thick enough to generate some serious heat, greenhouse style, so it’s pretty miserable to sit in in the summer. Even with a fan! Some mesh panels to uncover for cross-ventilation would have been really nice.
Size-wise, it holds a lounging adult just fine with room to spare. Set up was very easy and straightforward, just two poles.
Some very minor yet crucial fabric and design upgrades would make this a fantastic product. As it is, it is only good as an indoor play tent for kids. And you can get much fancier kid’s play tents for $20.
