When I pulled up their front porch was filled with the most delightful array of gifts. I started out Christmas shopping but there were so many things I wanted for myself too. I ended up purchasing several items at a steep discount including a Vera Bradley straw hat for only $5, gorgeous artisan necklaces for family Christmas presents, some Christmas decorations, a gift for a friends upcoming wedding, and finally a few Cat's Meow Village buildings including area landmark buildings, the New River Inn and the Bonnet House, for my collection. I started accidentally collecting them when I purchased a few inexpensively in a vintage sale and now I'm hooked. I especially love the replicas of the buildings I have fallen in love with in Florida (in case you are reading this daughter hint, hint). Inside the store I was dazzled with the array of gifts. The front of the store was beautifully decorated for the holidays and there were several Christmas trees throughout the store. This store carries a huge selection of Vera Bradley, home decor, coastal decor, holiday decorations, jewelry, candles, bath products, pantry items, jams and jellies, and apparel. I loved the lighted holiday snow globes especially the pop up camper one but my all time favorite items were the Spartina Florida purses and wallets. They have a vintage Florida map on them that look like the one on the table clothes that people who visited Florida used to buy in the 50's as souvenirs. I am still hunting one of those table clothes and I adore these handbags. I had never seen these before I am in love. They are pricey so this is going on my someday wish list. If there is one downside to this store it's that there was only one register and the sale generated a lot of customers who were buying many items and the ladies were slow. They are so sweet though and the wait wouldn't have been a big deal if I didn't have to rush off to other appointments. While I waited I snacked on their complimentary doughnut holes and orange juice. I have definitely found my new favorite gift store. I have some difficult people to buy for and I can find something for anyone here, not to mention all the things I personally loved. With the gift giving holiday season upon us, this is the perfect time to discover this store.

    When I first moved to South Florida, it was at the end of Fort Lauderdale's spring break glory…read moredays. In the 1990's the city decided that it wanted to distance itself from being called Ft. Liquordale and began phasing out the iconic nightclubs that had fueled the spring break party scene. Part of the catalyst for revitalizing the beach area was Beach Place, a two-story, open-air shopping and entertainment complex in Fort Lauderdale that opened in 1997. It was built on the former site of the 1952 Marlin Beach Hotel, which had fallen into disrepair. Beach Place was created as a mix of retail and entertainment that was meant to rebrand the area as a tranquil vacation destination following the decline of its chaotic spring break reputation in the mid-1980s. When it first opened, Beach Place was the place to be. Parking was still plentiful at the beach, and it was quite the destination. I remember shopping at Gap and Banana Republic and going to Howl at the Moon, a dueling piano bar, as well as Sloppy Joe's, Cafe Iguana, and Lulu's Bait Shack. Unfortunately, through the years it lost some of its luster, with a high vacancy rate and complaints of drug dealing and other criminal activity. On New Year's Eve, December 31, 2025, 17-year-old Joshua Gipson Jr. was shot and killed in front of the CVS. Today, the open-air mall has been rebranded as The Gallery at Beach Place. Parking in the garage is expensive and often full if there are events at the beach. I recently visited to eat at the second-floor Taco Bell Cantina, a spot famous for its views of the A1A beachfront. I hadn't been here since the '90s and found it to be a shell of the upscale retail destination it was designed to be. It looked worn down, with multiple souvenir shops. Lulu's Bait Shack is still there, along with Beach Cafe, Crystal Ballroom, Hooters, Con Murphy's Beachfront Pub, Ocean Bar, Dick's Last Resort, Häagen-Dazs, Oakberry Açaí, Wave Island Juice Bar, Maui Nix Surf Shop, and Crepe Island. I still remember when the beach was lined with parking meters that you could feed with the change from your car's floorboard. When those went away, there were still city parking lots with reasonable fees. Now those are gone too, replaced by development. The lack of parking is the main reason I stopped coming to Beach Place and Fort Lauderdale Beach. After making the effort to visit The Gallery at Beach Place, I realized the memories and the view from Taco Bell aren't enough to make me return anytime soon. In their quest for tourist dollars, the city has they alienated the locals who keep this area going during the summer months. As for The Gallery at Beach Place, the city is sleeping on what could be a real draw for the beach.

My very first day of work in Florida was setting up the stores in the shopping center. Beach place was a three level open air, entertainment, and shopping complex. It was designed to be similar to Bayside and Coconut Grove. When it opened, it was a hotspot with sloppy Joe's, Fat Tuesdays, a piano bar and nice shopping. It wasn't just souvenir shops. It had some nice upscale stores and a great night life right on the beach. Over the years it just disintegrated. Most of the stores couldn't survive. It was touristy and loud they never did get the local resident shopping. What I saw was actually very sad. It never lived up to the original vision and it has so much potential. There are so many empty store fronts, most of the restaurants were closed inside and now it's just a place for tourists to buy some sunscreen, a trinket, and cheap drinks at the bar at Lulus Bait Shack.

    This store is located inside the Conrad hotel. I'm wondering based on the previous review if they…read moreused to be located elsewhere, or, perhaps when the Conrad was built they offered to let them come along for the ride from whatever property was demolished. Regardless, this is not much more than a hotel gift shop trying to retain some of the elements of their old clothing shop. It's very crowded in there and they cram a lot of stuff into a small space. I didn't really see any clothing that piqued my interest, but they have an awkward selection of snacks and toiletries for hotel guests who don't want to wander outside the hotel, and they were all overpriced, i.e. $9 for a mini bottle of shaving cream that you can get at your local drug store for $1.99. What annoyed me the most is that none of the sundries had prices on them, and so I was shocked when I got my receipt and saw a charge for $9 for the shaving cream on the receipt!! I guess if you're staying at the hotel and in a pinch your needs can be partially met here (the snack selection REALLY needs an overhaul). I would not, however, go out of my way to stop in here to shop for clothes, there are much better shops in town, if your a guy, venture over to Wilton Manors where they have some great men's clothing stores.

It is pricey, but not so much so for what you are getting. The best features are a vast choice of various fine materials plus a knowledgable helpful staff.
