1. We walked into the store and the English accented lady behind the counter never acknowledged us.2. The old man and the lady were too busy talking about someone's English accent to bother with us.3. We waited for someone to check us out but they were too busy. So we just left with out buying a book.The other poor reviews were right. Verposervice

I saw how well-reviewed this store was and my husband and I decided to take our 4 year old and 2 year old here to pick out a souvenir. It looks like a really cute store and they have a fun kids' section, but the whole time we were there we were hovered over by an employee. She wouldn't stop talking to our kids (not to us) and talking about "tidying up" after them and trying to get them to look at toys they weren't interested in. It was very bizarre and annoying. Our kids are well-behaved and weren't making a mess or being loud or anything. It was clear she didn't actually want kids looking at or touching toys in their kids' section. It got to the point where our kids were feeling uncomfortable too, because they didn't want to talk to her and they weren't free to look at the things they wanted to look at. We got very close to just leaving and finding another store where kids are welcome. I was excited to let our kids pick a souvenir from our first family trip, but this experience ended up being not fun at all.

Consistently friendly with a great selection of books, gifts, and lots of great cards. I always find a great book on local history and my children always add a book to whatever their current book series is. They have the most adorable gifts and books for young children and babies.

All-around good experiences at both stores (North AND South Collier). Excellent inventory, knowledgeable managers. One of many reasons we look forward to returning to Marco Island. P.S. Energetic soft-haired Wheaton terrier was a big part of my shopping at the S. Collier store.

I have been there twice to ship packages via FedEx. The man behind the counter is very rude and sarcastic, worst customer service I have experienced, sadly. Went to the Walgreens FedEx and had great service, they had no problem with the size of the label I printed out, taped it to the box for me with no additional fees.My dad who is 91, also experienced a rude reception at Sunshine books when mailing a package. We will NOT be going there again for anything.

My husband and I enjoyed our trip to this lovely little book store. The employee we spoke with seemed well-read and educated. A pleasant experience. Will be returning on our next trip to Marco Island.

Great local bookstore. Friendly staff. We visited Sunshine Booksellers to purchase some books on local wildlife and history. Not only does Sunshine have a great selection on both topics but it also has a nice selection of children's and adult's books. The staff (and their dogs) were a true delight on this visit. They were friendly and made us feel welcome - which is not always a given in tourist-heavy areas. Support your local bookseller and pick up some books on Marco Island and Florida on your next visit. You might even get to pet a fuzzy friend while you're there.

Honestly this is my first review I ever write but I had such a bad experience I had to share. I have to travel internationally to see my parents and I needed to notarize a supporting letter. When I walked in there was nobody and now I know why. I asked ti have my letter notarized and i have been told by old bitter man that he had a rule not to notarize documents before 4:30. I explained that I really need this because I am traveling,he laughed at me and said "That is my rule l".If I had the option to leave 0 star review I would. They don't deserve this island.DON'T GO THERE !

Buyer beware, this business and the people that operate this place I've found to be rude and hostile. They are incredibly unpleasant, just about everyone that works there. I encountered this while in the store trying to ship an item and actually several times prior while utilizing the shipping services. Based on the other reviews I've read here this isn't an isolated event.
