Yeah, I asked my MOHS surgeon if renting a cabana could be considered a medical expense and he just laughed.

Since we don't know when we'd want one, would you say many are available on a that-day basis?

We had one with a tv and fan and it was quite nice (a few years ago), but we'll be a party of 6 this time. Have you had the umbrella set up on the beach? Wondering what shade they provide.
