After reading the many reviews on this thrift store, I visited the store. They have a very nice display of furniture, however the prices were as if you were in an antique store. A beautiful writing desk was marked at $349, the highest price I have ever seen in a thrift shop. Housewares were extremely well displayed, and they do have some great quality pieces. I found a set of Gail Pittman dinnerware (over 35 pieces) marked at $259 - priced well because they are extremely hard to find and are very rare. So they recognize good quality items but overprice them. The store also has clothes, shoes and accessories for sale. I wasn't interested in buying anything so I didn't look at the inventory. The idea of a thrift store is to help raise funds for a charitable organization. However the pricing in my opinion is too high. read more

Be prepared to stay a little while! Great women's clothes and shoes. I was SO happy to find a great pair of comfortable $4 heels for an upcoming wedding. Ladies' nice dresses are worth a look. Nicer clothing prices are a little on the higher end. But it's worth it if it's the perfect fit. Changing rooms are available. I'll be back! read more

OMG. A designers dream! This is a great location to find all the wonderful eclectic pieces you don't know you needed! Furniture, art, accents. Also clothes, jewelry and books!!! And all at the most reasonable prices I've ever seen. Completely non profit, all proceeds go to local churches! The staff is voluntary and so sweet and kind and helpful!! Stop in and find your next great piece!! read more

Church Mouse - My find - Thrift Stores Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

See all

We have purchased several like-new items for our STR unit in Sea Pines from Church Mouse.

Great deals. High end clothing a plus. Will go again. Love thrift shopping while in Hilton Head.

This store is pretty "Judgey" for a thrift store. The workers (and yes, I know they are volunteers and I respect that) give off a snooty vibe most of the time I've been there a la the treatment of Julia Roberts character in "Pretty Woman." Note to staff: it's a used clothing/furnishings store not Gucci or Tiffany: read more

We always love coming to the church mouse. But this year the pricing has gone up significantly, pricing for people who can afford to live here, not pricing for visitors. Most of the items here are priced ridiculously high, no longer priced like a thrift shop but now more like a consignment shop. I remarked to one of the ladies who works here that the pricing was no longer thrift shop pricing. Her response was, "well, we can get it". It's sad. read more

Some things are great! Other items are overpriced. I purchased several "designer " items that I paid too much for, found the flaws and the dirty condition after I got home and ended up donating locally. read more

Wonderful place. Employees are all very pleasant and helpful. Wide variety of merchandise all very reasonably and fairly priced. And by all appearances they do great work in the community. We've been twice and won't miss it during future trips to HHI. read more

Very cute and cheap! I absolutely love the selection of items!! Just when you buy jewelry don't forget about it!

A lot bigger than it looks for a nice range of prices. It would be a good place to go for business and conservative clothes and housewares. Felt a little stuffy to me, we're in our mid 30s and we were definitely the youngest ones there. Everyone else (shoppers and workers were 65+). Gets 4 stars bc everything felt kind of run of the mill. For having so many older ones there really weren't a lot of cool antiques in the housewares. Also, all of the shoes felt really worn. read more

Great Service, friendly volunteers. I found a great pair of walking running shoes at a good price. We only visit when we are on vacation but always find something we can use. Great place to visit. read more

This place is gold! I stepped in and couldn't believe my eyes. Before I got down the first aisle I had found 5 things I had been searching for in thrift shops. I proceeded to the end of the aisle and broke out in a sweat from the bargains! I had to remove my jacket and put it in a hold with my treasures. The staff were extremely helpful, polite, and knowledgeable. They couldn't have been better! When I arrived home with my goodies, I knew I had to go back. Unfortunately they were closed the next day so I had to dream about the treasures I would find on my next hunt. That trip didn't disappoint either. I scored on glassware and kitchen supplies. Next time I go to HHI, The Church Mouse will be at the top of my list! read more

This shop is a great find. They have a great home goods section and unlike most thrifts an excellent jewelry counter. They are doing a wonderful job in keeping customers and their (mostly elderly) volunteers safe during Covid. Masks required and limited entry, so you might wait in line a few minutes. read more

I love checking out this store when we are vacationing here. The staff is alway so nice. They have a great selection.

Unusual collection of thrift shop items. Worth a trip to find something special . A little out of the way but fun

Great place, lots of sales, multitude of items. 2 floors of quality goods. Love shopping here

Although many nice items, most of staff not wearing masks. Not protecting customers or each other. Doesn't seem like a " Christian" organization would permit this recklessness. read more

Most amazing Thrift store I have ever been in and everyone is so helpful. I Love Gayle. She is always wearing a smile. Ready to help in anyway. Thank you for everything you do. read more

Great selection of items. The top floor is all clothes. There was ample space but limited parking.

Very well staged, large thrift store chocked full of wonderful items priced to sell. Staff is very kind & helpful. One of the best thrift stores at which I have shopped. read more

I enjoyed looking at all the treasures in this thrift store. Nicely displayed collection. Clean, interesting art,jewelry,and painting. A thrifters dream read more

This local Hilton Head thrift store has great offerings. Everything you can think of including furniture, clothes, dish sets (some really nice antique ones), books, DVDs, and more. It's run by a local church and all the proceeds are given to charities around the area. The staff are all volunteers for the most part and are great to talk to, particularly in the book section. If you're in the mood to meet some locals and look through some quality finds, you should definitely check it out! read more

Church Mouse - Love the great stuff at the church mouse - Thrift Stores Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

I moved to HHI about a year and a half ago and needed to furnish my house. I bought almost all of my furniture at the local thrift stores. By far this is my favorite thrift store. Inventory changes over often, mainly furniture and household supplies with excellent prices. Not much in the way for worthwhile clothing unless you are into the grandparent look. I am COVERED in tattoos, almost a whole "suit", and the staff has always treated me well. read more

Awesome clothes, mostly higher end. Lovely workers and always a surprise something or other lurking around the corners.

This was a clean, well-organized store full of interesting items. My only complaint is the older ladies that work there seem snooty. Especially the lady behind the jewelry counter. They could take some tips from the younger friendly folks working there. read more

Liked the COVID-19 policy or pacing people in, very clean. OK furnishing, wide variety. Great pricing on clothes. Furnishings were moderately overpriced, but the proceeds do go to a church. Didn't buy anything. read more

1. The inventory in the store consisted entirely of extra large plaid flannel Talbots shirts from 1999 and some fold-out chairs. It smelled like mothballs and you would do better to go around picking up people's discarded t-shirts from the poolside of the Hilton Head Disney Vacation Club. 2. A white-haired woman with cakey red lipstick stood directly behind my friend, who is black, from the moment we entered the store to the moment we left. It was so threatening that we almost immediately left (not that we were so desperate to buy a neon orange skort or fake gold clip-on earrings). She stared with a focus that would only have been appropriate had my friend been a centaur or Steve Jobs' reanimated corpse. Luckily her generation will soon be dead. If her sales goal was to cause emotional distress to a potential customer, she succeeded tremendously. I urge you not to bring this store, with its racist employees and moldy furniture, your business. read more

After being their a few times I have decided it was not worth the trip. I had picked out a few things and left them on the counter to be held till I finished my shopping. The older cashier yelled at me and pointed to a location behind the counter to put my things on hold. She could have easily placed them on the other counter and nicely told me to put my things there in the future. She is scornful and should not be attending customers. These older staff look down to customers and it is shameful as they have no idea who we are or our financial situation. It appears they feel we are all beneath them. read more

A bit pricey on some of the larger furniture/decorative type items but did have some nicer items to shop through. Items look clean & staff was careful to put out good condition items. Clothing was reasonably priced for a coastal area thrift store. "Boutique clothing" separated out and priced accordingly. Staff was friendly. We would come back to shop again. read more

This is my fav thrift on island. Prices are great, organization is good, clean, I almost always find something. Ladies were a little flustered a checkout the last time, I was overcharged for my paperback at the hardback price and when I mentioned it the lady was irritated at me and couldn't fix it. Overall though, I like it here. read more
