My husband was ever so thoughtful and purchased a scarf for me as a little gift while he was on a…read morefishing trip to Block Island and it was a very pretty green scarf, but as I'm admiring it I noticed a hole in the seam (it's an infinity scarf) and a very large tear about a third of the way into the seam. How in the world did the person ringing him up not notice this..and the many pulled strings hanging off it. My guess is they did and choose to ignore it being he was a summer tourist. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and gave the place a call. A very heavily accented young lady told me that her boss's would call me back in about 30 minutes. After 5 hours, I called again, and this time I did get a call back with the promise of a replacement or refund next day when the owner was in the shop. So my review is based on their customer service and the quality of an item they carry. 4 for customer service 1 for quality of item

The woman who works there is the sweetest person ever. My friend bought a sweatshirt from a shop…read moredown the road, but saw a better one in this store. She went back to the store she bought the first sweatshirt, but they wouldn't let her return it. She was super sad, and when she came back to Beachcomber, the kind woman overheard the story and gave her the new sweatshirt for free. She is super kind and knows her products, marking them at a super duper reasonable price and choosing to sell things from companies (eg pura vita) that provide jobs to people in poverty in other countries. Everyone should stop by this store, and remember to spread the kindness that she showed my friend in your day-to-day life
