The California Beach Co Reviews

The ventilation is good overall and helps keep the room from feeling too stuffy. It’s not totally "perfect," but it definitely makes a difference.

I expected the setup to be straightforward, but it ended up taking me way longer than planned. The instructions weren’t very clear in a few spots, so I kept having to stop and figure out what they actually meant. Support did reply and basically said something like, “try following the steps in order and double-check the settings,” which helped a little, but I still felt like I was mostly piecing it together myself

The material feels really thick and sturdy!! Like... it actually seems built to last, which I really appreciate!!!

pretty disappointed with this... we barely used it and the fabric already started tearing. A couple parts feel loose too which is annoying. For what it cost I really expected it to last way longer, definitely wouldn’t buy it again

Overall, I’m happy with my order. The stuff was good, and exactly what I expected, shipping was a little slow, but it wasn’t a big deal.

I bought this mostly to give my kid some shade at the beach, but after just a short day out, they still ended up getting a bit red. It’s probably okay for quick or lighter use, and I guess it’s not totally useless, but for the price I expected better UV protection. A little disappointing, but I’ll still use it when the sun isn’t too strong.

I wanted to like this, but it was a pain to drag through the sand and it barely stayed in place once we set it down. Maybe other people have had better luck with it, but for us it just wasn’t great for a beach day.

I had to exchange mine, and honestly... it was super easy. No hassle at all.

I bought this thinking it would be something I could fold up fast and toss in the bag, but nope. This stubborn piece of junk fights me every single time. The frame is super stiff, and getting it back into the bag feels like a whole workout. After a day at the beach, the last thing I want is to wrestle with this annoying thing. Disappointed.

I expected this to provide way more coverage than it did. We set it up for the kids, but they still ended up getting way too much sun, which was frustrating. Like, how is this okay for something that’s supposed to help with shade? Disappointing overall.

I picked this up mostly for the backyard and beach days, i was a little skeptical at first. With sand, crumbs, sticky snacks, and my kid constantly climbing all over it, I figured it might end up being one of those things that looks nice for about five minutes.
But it’s actually been really simple to deal with. I usually just shake it out, wipe any messy spots with a damp cloth, and it looks totally fine again. So far, it hasn’t held onto stains or gotten that gross, grimy look some kid stuff gets after a few uses.

In my opinion, that makes it a solid win. Anything that survives beach sand and snack chaos without becoming a huge cleaning project is worth it to me. Definitely 5 stars.

It’s a good size and we can fit our stuff in it, but once the kids are inside, it definitely feels tighter than the pictures made it look. It works, so I’m trying to be patient with it, but I was hoping for something a bit more spacious without having to constantly shuffle everyone and everything around.

I ordered this over the weekend and didn’t expect it to show up so fast. The tracking updated like it was supposed to, and I didn’t have to sit around wondering where it was, which I appreciated. Since it came quicker than promised, I’m hoping there’s some kind of compensation or credit available for the early delivery/feedback, but overall the shipping experience was smooth.

I reached out hoping they’d help with the warranty, but I couldn’t get no real support. Felt like I was just going in circles and they wouldn’t help me out.

I tried using this inside and, honestly... it just felt way too bulky. It takes up more room than I expected, and moving it around is kind of a hassle. It might be totally fine outdoors, but in a regular room? Yeah, it was just annoying and not very comfortable.

I thought this would be something easy to grab and take along, but it ended up feeling bulky and awkward to pack. For quick beach trips, it’s just not very convenient. It also has that kind of “no real person thought this through” feeling when you’re trying to carry it around...

Got this from The California Beach Co i feel like the price is fair for what you get. It’s not exactly the cheapest thing ever lol, but the quality feels solid and it’s actually useful. Shipping was fine too, nothing crazy. Overall I’m happy with it — just wish it was a tiny bit cheaper

It’s okay overall, but maybe it’s just me, I was expecting the quality to be a little better. Not bad by any means, just didn’t really wow me.

My order showed up just about when I expected it to, and the box was in good shape. I really appreciate the smooth delivery!

I reached out and never heard anything back. Maybe I’m jumping to a conclusion, but my snap judgment is that their customer service just isn’t there.
