This attractive and fun shop features all three categories and is one of the nicest of its type I have ever visited. The owners are friendly and helpful, and showed me several games and items that were appropriate for my child's age. There were so many interesting things that I had a very difficult time choosing. Of course I wasn't able to narrow down to just one so felt lucky to come away with only three! Be sure not to miss this shop while in Boca Grande. There is local art for sale, too, and many books, puzzles, etc., which would make great gifts for adults--and for yourself!

In fact, when I was in St…read more Armand's Circle, there were stores selling t-shirts and other merch.. but as a typical souvenir- it was not there. So, in siesta key village it's the only good store providing visitors and residents on Siesta Key with what they want to enjoy the beautiful 8-mile beach and warm Gulf coast waters. Normally I collect magnets, shots glasses, and some frames and if anything local-then I go for that, like a tiki statue in this case. From beach mats, flops and sandals, chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and sunscreen to sunglasses and trendy surf shorts, this well-stocked shop has a great range of clothing and equipment to choose from. and coming to souvenirs - it has all the range. When Shop says they have "Everything for the beach" they mean EVERYTHING! it has 3 sections, and you can find almost anything needed for the beach. Beach Bazaar knows exactly what you need at a low price

She stated, "These people have been in here for an hour and now they're ready to pay when we're eating, a**holes!" (It was the middle of the day, the store wasn't closed, and there were at least 3-4 other families in the store at the time.) I wanted to lay down my items and just leave because of her rudeness but I had picked out gifts for my family back home. I've been visiting this shop for years with my family and am very disappointed in the attitude from the worker. Will not be visiting again.

I didn't see a sign stating "you break it you buy it" but if there's not one there should be. Walking the aisles here is like standing in a buffet line it's difficult to navigate this place and it seems like most customers are just looking so the most open spaces in this shop are around the cash registers. I didn't my find my refrigerator magnet I was looking for but there are plenty more shops to explore. I like to stroll the aisles like I'm running into a grocery store to get a loaf of bread, I'm not a window shopper and I definitely don't need to pick up and admire everything and comment on the prices. The big question is would I return, of course I would, are you kidding me it's air conditioned and a great spot to cool down...

There you might meet the owners if they are in town from their worldly travels. A perfect opportunity to learn about their art and crafts which consist mainly of European and South African influences. You might even say it would be a perfect opportunity to chat about something outside the box.

For our Spring Break trip, our family made our reservation in January with Kappy's. (We chose…read moreKappy's, as local a FB group suggested them and we wanted to support those affected by the hurricanes.) For our 3 day rental, we paid $575. The initial golf cart that was delivered did not have seatbelts. We asked for a golf cart with seatbelts (we have small children) and were told by Brandy (the manager) that FL law for Boca Grande does not require seatbelts. They agreed to an exchange, and delivered a golf cart that was at least 25+ years old. PLEASE see attached picture. We frequently vacation and rent golf carts all over Florida and have NEVER had this type of experience. We have golf club memberships and have never seen golf carts this "vintage" in circulation. They are NOT pictured on their website. We strongly suggest other companies, as we paid MORE than other local vendors and received product that is EMBARRASSING to drive.
