Frequently Asked Questions

Everything people ask us before they book — booking, your day on the sand, what turns up, what it costs and what happens when the weather does not cooperate.

Booking

How do I book?

Pick your beach and package on our booking calendar, choose your date, and pay in full to lock it in. If you would rather talk it through first, call or text 239-823-1893 or send us a quote request and we will set it up for you.

How far in advance should I book?

As early as you can from November through April, and especially in peak season — January through April — when weekends and the larger Trio and Quad packages go first. Outside those months there is usually more room. At Bonita Beach we can often take short notice because our store is right on the beach; anywhere off-site needs more lead time and is by request.

When do I pay?

In full at the time of booking. Reserving your setup holds your date, your beach and your gear, so we settle up front and you arrive with nothing left to handle.

Can I change my booking after I have paid?

Yes — call or text 239-823-1893 and we will do our best. Adding extras is easy right up to the day before. Moving a date depends on availability, and cancellations are covered by our cancellation policy.

Which beaches do you set up at?

Bonita Beach, Fort Myers Beach, Naples and Sanibel Island are the beaches we serve most often, and each has its own page with parking and access details. We are not limited to them. We can set up at most Southwest Florida beaches that offer public beach access and nearby parking — tell us where you have in mind when you book, or send a quote request, and we will confirm availability for that beach.

Can I book a specific spot on the beach?

Tell us where you would like to be when you book and we will do our best. We are not tied to one or two access points at any of our beaches — if there is reasonable beach access and parking nearby, we can usually set up there.

Your beach day

What hours do I have my cabana?

10:00 AM to 4:00 PM — a full six hours on the sand. We also run a Golden Hour Sunset package from 3:00 PM to dusk. If you need different hours, ask us; we can often accommodate.

How will I know my setup is ready?

We text you the moment it is standing on the sand, so you are not hunting for it or waiting around.

What do I do when I am ready to leave?

Send us a quick text to let us know, and please lower the umbrellas and canopy on your way out. That last part matters — wind picks up fast when weather moves through, and a raised canopy is how equipment gets broken.

Do I need to carry or set up anything?

No. We deliver, build and break down everything, every time. That is the whole point. You turn up with a towel over your shoulder if you feel like it.

Can we leave and come back during the day?

Yes. Your setup is yours for the full window. Plenty of guests head off for lunch and come back.

What you get

How big is a cabana?

Each Luxe cabana is 6 × 6 feet, with a fringed canopy in white, green or blue. That footprint shades two adjustable chairs and a beach table with room to move around. For bigger groups we set up multiple cabanas side by side — that is what the Duo, Trio and Quad packages are.

What comes with every package?

A Luxe cabana, two wood-and-canvas adjustable chairs, a beach table, a cooler stocked with ice and bottled water, and two Turkish beach towels — multiplied by the number of cabanas in your package. Setup and cleanup are always included, never an add-on.

How many people fit under one cabana?

A Solo comfortably suits one to three people, a Duo three to six, a Trio six to eight and a Quad eight to ten. Those are comfort guidelines about shade and seating rather than hard limits. If you are between sizes, book the smaller one and add a chair or two.

Can I choose the chairs?

Yes. Wood-and-canvas sling chairs are the default — they recline flat if you want to nap. Zero-Gravity chairs are padded, fully reclining and easier on your back. Same price, so it is purely preference. Tell us when you book.

Do you have anything for guests with limited mobility?

Yes. We carry alternative seating options for seniors and guests with limited mobility — tell us when you book and we will bring them and place your cabana to suit. Each location page also lists that beach’s accessible parking, restrooms and boardwalk access.

Do you host events?

Yes, within reason — birthdays, proposals, post-wedding beach days and small corporate outings. We set up multiple 6 × 6 ft cabanas side by side for larger groups. Send us the details through the quote form and we will tell you what is possible.

Money

Is the price I see the price I pay?

Yes, on a package. The package price already includes delivery, setup, cleanup and the trip fee for that beach — there is no separate delivery charge and no per-item setup fee, which is where most beach rentals add cost. Beach parking is separate and paid to the park. Our booking and cancellation policy covers the service charge and refund terms.

What is a trip fee, and when does it apply?

It covers our crew driving out to you and back for each day of your reservation — gas, parking, drive time and the crew. The important part: you never pay a trip fee on a package. Every package price already has it built in, so nothing is added at checkout. A trip fee is only charged separately on build-your-own (à la carte) reservations, where you are picking individual items rather than a package. Bonita Beach has no trip fee at all, because our store is across the street. Off-site it is $60 per day at Fort Myers Beach and Naples, and $100 per day at Sanibel, which covers the causeway toll each way.

Do you offer parking?

No — beach parking is paid to the town or county, not to us, and it is not included in your reservation. Each location page lists the current rates, the pay-by-phone details and where the accessible spaces are for that beach.

Is there a cheaper option if I am coming more than once?

Yes, at Bonita Beach. The Flex Pass is $500 for seven cabana days, against $1,225 booking those days one at a time. It breaks even on your third beach day, and every day includes three chairs rather than two.

Weather

What happens if it rains?

If it is light rain, we still set up — storms here tend to blow through. If there are thunderstorms, lightning or winds of 15 mph or more, we contact you as soon as we can. Weather cancellations before 1:00 PM receive a full refund or a credit for another day.

What if it is too windy?

If gusts are forecast at 15 mph or above we cannot safely raise the cabanas and umbrellas, and we will keep them lowered. Above that threshold we may not be able to set up at all. It is a safety and equipment call, not a preference.

Can my start time move because of weather?

Yes — we reserve the right to move your start time up to an hour either way, because we cannot set up in active rain or lightning. We will always tell you as early as we can.

What if lightning starts while I am there?

Leave immediately and seek shelter. Do not wait for us and do not worry about the equipment. Our full weather policy has the detail, but the short version is that your safety comes first, every time.
