She found a really cute vest and bought it. They were having a BOGO sale too, so that was a plus. Also the bag that they put her purchases in was really cool. Becky found a few things she liked, but ended up talking a pass. Perhaps next time in OB. The store is doesn't look that big from the outside, but is quite large on the inside. If you're in OB, check out Creations Boutique.

My girlfriend and I stopped by Creations Boutique when we were visiting Ocean Beach. She was instantly drawn to their unique clothing and styles, and probably would have bought one of everything in the store if she was able to. The staff at the store was very inviting and helped her find exactly what she was looking for. She had bought a couple of items, including a dress that she absolutely adored (it instantly became her new favorite), and we planned on going back to get her a few more items. Unfortunately we ended up not having time to return to Creations on our short weekend visit to the area. There was one dress in particular that she really wanted, and I was having a difficult time finding it on their website. I called the store and Desi was so quick and eager to help me out. She took the time to send me pictures of the dress I described to make sure it was the correct one. She also helped me pick out another item, again with pictures included. She went out of her way to take these items to the post office personally to send to me. She was nothing but pleasant and incredibly helpful. I really don't remember the last time I was this blown away by customer service. Clothing and dresses are not my area of expertise by any means, but Desi was super helpful in making sure I found the right style and fit. Whenever we visit Ocean Beach again we will surely be stopping at Creations, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique style and great shopping experience. 10/10

Golden Seashell is located on the main drag of Newport in Ocean Beach a couple of blocks from the water. For that reason, parking can be a bit challenging, but it is also convenient to stop by on my way to pick up lunch or do something else at the beach. It appears to be a one-man shop where the owner does all of the repairs. Both times, drop off and pick up have been quick and easy. Both times, he has taken a quick look at my chain and given me the price and timeframe. Both times, he repaired the chain successfully. The price is reasonable in comparison with what I have paid in other places in the past. The only reason I can't give five stars is that the timeframe given is one to two weeks. This last time, he took just over a week. In other parts of town, I have had some places fix it within a day, some, even within an hour. I imagine he is probably busy with a lot of other repairs. However, to have someone fix my jewelry locally at a reasonable price is a pretty good deal, and I will be back to Golden Seashell.
