Extremely mean owner & overpriced items. I just went in to buy a pair of shoes but as I was…read morechecking out, the owner came back over and made a huge spectacle of the fact that I had dripped some water on the floor (I was just swimming and my hair wasn't completely dry). I apologized but she continued to make a big deal of it, asking if I had any idea how much work I'd caused for her because now she'd have to mop the water (?) on the floor and screaming to other employees to grab a mop & guard the door to warn people not to slip. We're talking about a couple of drops here; I was completely dry except for my hair. It was absurd. Several other customers were uncomfortable with the outburst and left. I was so flustered, I stayed just long enough to pay for $30 shoes and the entire time I was paying, she continued to belittle me and ask how I could be so disrespectful, how could I do that, etc even as I continued apologizing and giving her business! I've never experienced anything quite like it. There are several shops with similar items very close to this one; I highly recommend going elsewhere.

Uncomfortable shopping experience. Went in looking for a swimsuit for my mother celebrating her…read morehard work of 30 lbs weight loss! She was so excited to go swimsuit shopping this summer which has always been something she dreads. Sales women made the experience awful. Way too pushy when trying to help style (even though was not asked to do so) and had an attitude the whole time. Snarky responses, rude when sizing "don't be surprised if it doesn't fit" What?? Who says that? I've had my share of retail experience, not something you say to someone. Also was clearly annoyed with the fact our kids were present. Were our kids angels? Nope but sorry your store is on the boardwalk and they wanted to go on rides not shop for swim wear. They also were not running through the store, they were either sitting on the bench or by our side. I'll be the first to admit if they were annoying but if you don't like kids and have a problem being in your store- get a new location. Yes- my mother was indecisive. Yes- she has ever right to be. No- we never asked for your help to begin with. Avoid if you want a good shopping experience, suits are overpriced anyway.

I love the shop and the selection. Great prices as compared to other shoppes in the boardwalk. The…read moreman who works there -Maybe he's the owner-needs to take a course in customer service. I find him very rude and very cranky. I don't want to go in there anymore. It makes me wonder if maybe they are going to shut down.

I bought a shot glass (they had better, less touristy selections) and an impulse-buy "Cupcake…read moreBites" container. The Cupcake Bites are interesting. I'm not sure if I like them or not. They have a certain taste that makes me suspicious of them while still wanting to keep eating them. But it's a sportswear shop... what else could you expect? I take stars off because of the cashier experience. I asked if there was anything that the shot glass could be wrapped in, and he said yes and handed me the paper, rather than wrapping it for me. There's nothing particularly wrong with this, it just is bad form that kind of bothered me. The cashier also seemed disinterested and unhappy. I did really appreciate the vibe and music of the place though. Good selections!

Everyone was really friendly here, especially our sales associate (wish I got her name) and it was a great shopping stop for our family. Recommended!
