Product Description
Calypso Cabana
Amazon.com Product Description
There's nothing better than a day at the beach, but a full day of UV rays can take its toll. Enter the Texsport Calypso cabana, a sturdy beach shelter that's ideal for long afternoons on the shore. Made of heavy-duty polyurethane-coated taffeta for increased UV protection and cool comfort, the Calypso cabana protects you on three sides, with a roof that extends over the top as you lounge below. You can sit inside the cabana to avoid the sun, lie partially covered to protect just your face, or huddle up for full-body protection when the winds start whipping. The cabana also offers a durable ripstop polyethylene floor and three no-see-um mesh windows with zippered storm flaps. And the shelter is a breeze to set up and take down thanks to the three-pole pin-and-ring frame system and the shock-corded fiberglass poles. Other features include four weight/sand bags for increased stability, corner stakes, and a handy storage bag. Flame-retardant to CPAI-84 specifications, the Calypso cabana measures 48 by 84 by 48 inches (W x H x D) and comes in brilliant blue with rainbow stripes along the top.

 Absolute joy! July 7, 2009

My family adores this little jewel of a find. It is just perfect for our family of 4. I have a 10 year old and a 5 year old and it is perfect shade for them at the beach or at the park. Also perfect for my husband and myself. All 4 of us can sit inside. The company is great also. When this item shipped, I noticed the stakes had been left out and they were listed as included on the box. I emailed them one time and had an very quick response with the assurance that the stakes would be sent right away. Great product ... also excited about other items on their site for camping, etc. We are happy and look forward to using it again and again.

Very easy to assemble. We did purchase heavier stakes since our beach is on the Gulf of Mexico where the winds can be strong. Adds more stability. Well made. Would recommend to anyone. Price is worth every dollar.
Awesome for small children at the beach July 17, 2009

We used this cabana on 2 separate trips to the beach and have loved it. It was a great place for my 6 month old to sleep and not get sunburned. Great cross breezes with the flaps up. Didn't use the sandbags, just put our cooler in one front corner and beach bag in the other. Also made for nice semi-private nursing with adequate breeze to not overheat. Packs relatively compactly, but cannot fit tent and poles back into one bag. Still the 2 together do not take up much space. After years of using an umbrella, this was better for our needs with an infant and is easier to carry around. Would recommend it to those with small children.
Excellent for the beach! June 23, 2009

We bought this to shade the little one while playing on the beach in Gulf Shores, AL --- easy assembly (which we tried once before we left for vaca - recommend that) each day it was a little easier, but never hard. Perfect for what we needed!! We didn't even use the stakes, just filled up the "pockets" with sand and put our cooler and beach bag inside - never once had any issues. Highly recommend it!
Great Cabana, NO storage problems! June 8, 2010

We bought this for a trip to Hilton Head, SC. The cabana was great for our family of four. Two adults or one adult and two kids can use it comfortably. We never tried to all use it at once, but it would be crowded. It was very stable. We had no trouble with it all week, even when the wind was blowing pretty hard. People with umbrellas had many more problems with wind than we had. The windows let in a nice breeze, so it did not get too hot.
I don't understand why people say it was hard to put back in the storage bag. I simply took the tent poles out, spread the cabana on the sand, folded it in two length-wise, then rolled it up. The rolled up cabana fit in the bag fairly easily WITH the tent poles. I think those who are having problems also probably couldn't fold a map, or being charitable, maybe the manufacturer recently increased the size of the bag? I will say the included stakes are worthless for a sandy beach, but you really don't need them. The sand pockets and our admittedly heavy beach bag held the cabana with no problems. Finally, a couple next to us on our last day had an LL Bean cabana. It might have been slightly bigger, but it did not appear to be any higher quality than ours.
