Fortunately, yes it was, because I had the best time browsing all the home decor, apparel, pet, gift, and sale items. It's a one-stop shop if you're looking to support a local business and purchase some beach-themed gifts near the oceanfront. They also had some great sales going on -- 60% off all fall merch plus 25% off holiday items. I purchased an adorable sea green nutcracker holding a starfish and gift bags. It's way prettier than that description. I also purchased cat nap pajama pants, which I'm wearing right now. They're both comfortable and adorable. Convenient location, high-quality goods, and a delightful experience. I'd return and recommend this shop.

Some antiques, some restored antiques and some new things. They had furniture, soap, decorative elements, some cute driftwood/recycled wood frames I have been looking for for a while, and some other items. All good stuff. We were mostly left alone to browse at our leisure which is fine with me, I hate being followed around while I stop and look and take Yelp photos. They didn't have a huge selection of items but what they did have appeared to be priced fairly reasonably and of good quality. If you are looking for some items you probably won't find at a local retail chain, this could be a good option.

The shop is full of fabulous finds and there's tons of room to walk around. I loved how it was spaced out. My husband and I bought a cute side table to go beside our couch at our apartment, a gurgle pot, and a cute seashell pillow for our couch. They'll paint a piece for you if you find a wood piece that you love elsewhere. I went here twice today just deciding on what to get and they're always getting new pieces in. They sell pieces by artists in the shop,, so you're bound to find something. There were tea towels, soaps, matted photos, and the list goes on. You could spend awhile just browsing and debating items.

I've visited this place several times and regularly shop at a few of the stores here. Every time…read moreI've made a purchase, the cashiers have been very clear about the return policy -- items must be returned within 2 days, and anything marked final sale cannot be returned. I appreciate that they consistently explain the policy so customers know the rules upfront. This past weekend, I went shopping with my mom on Saturday. On Sunday she asked me to return a pair of earrings because the closure wasn't secure. I went back to the store with the item and the receipt about 15 minutes before closing. When I brought the item to the counter, the interaction started with some not-so-inviting remarks. I asked the associate helping me if there was an issue returning jewelry, and she said there wasn't but that she needed to check the receipt because of the strict policy. Before she even looked at my receipt, another employee with reddish hair stepped in and said they had to be careful because people "try to get over all the time." At that point, my receipt still hadn't even been reviewed. I firmly explained that my mom had asked me at the last minute to return the item and that I really didn't want to come back out, but because of their policy she wanted to make sure it was returned within the timeframe. The other employee responded sarcastically, saying, "Well, your mom is right." The associate who was originally helping me then completed the return without any issue. Afterward, I quickly checked out at one shop and headed out since the stores were closing. As I walked toward the door, I could hear the same employee loudly expressing her frustrations, and when she noticed me she immediately stopped and turned away. I completely understand why a business like this needs to have a strict return policy, and I respect that. However, the commentary and assumptions made during the process were unnecessary. A simple, professional interaction would have made the experience much more pleasant.

Painted Tree Boutique is, by far, one of the coolest shops I've been to in VB. While I was out…read moreshopping for my daughter's birthday, I saw a few people walking into the store and was very curious to see if I could find a cute gift for her inside. I was blown away with what I had walked in to, I'd like to think of it as an upscale flea market. The store included specialized gifts, decor, jewelry, clothes, home goods, paintings, record albums, snacks, candles, plants, art...all under one roof. You name it, they have it. After walking around for over an hour looking at each vendor, I decided to buy my daughter a pair of socks (they have an abundance of awesome socks) and fun snacks. As I was checking out, the lady shared that they currently have over 270 vendors within the store and that they change often. There was also a "Ladies Night" event that week which included amazing sales, live music and gift card giveaways! All of the prices were fairly decent as well. If you are looking for a gift for someone or just want to buy something for yourself, Painted Tree is definitely the place to go!!!

ABSOLUTE SCAM ARTISTS, DONT BUY ANYTHING…read more i've never been one to write reviews on places but this is ridiculous. i went in this store to get souvenirs for my family, a little over priced but not unreasonable for the nick nacks. most clothing stores at the beach are a little over priced and that's cool and all, but here, the latino guy who acts like he barely speaks english told me at check out "i'll give you 3 free t shirts and the only thing you have to do is pay for the print and ill print it for you." in my head, im getting a good deal! awesome! proceeds to print me 3 custom decal shirts. told me "i put this washing and drying coat on all my shirts so they don't crack in the machines." then, charged me $60 per shirt for that small coat he was talking about. i paid $170 for 3 shirts. absolutely criminal and all sales are final. he didn't say anything about a price until i clicked accept. it was my fault for not asking questions so, i'm writing this review to help out the other people who don't ask questions like me. i went back to get a refund and blew up on him, he said he told me plain as day that he told me these prices but he never did. it's an absolute scam. there's better mom and pop stores for better prices all over. just be careful about this guy.

Typical tourist gift shop with souvenir clothing, toys, beach apparel and toys, snacks, alcohol beverages etc. They're basically an all-in-one shop if you need anything from food to clothing! Of course everything has the tourist price tag though. My brother in law purchased a beach hat so he wouldn't burn up in the summer sun and that cost him a whopping $50.
