“Love the store and the employees but not being able to try on my clothes before I buy them is so frustrating. Makes me think twice about even going who has the time to go back and return clothes constantly?!?! Sorry not me”
“I waited until the last minute, less than two days, to rent a tuxedo and Sacino's pulled through for me. Greg was great to work and with and very knowledgeable, made the experience all the better. I may just find more opportunities to wear a Tux so I can support this business. Great job! Thank you.”
“Amazing experience! Luis and Carl were incredible! I got invited to a wedding 1 week in advance and didn’t have a suit. Luis and Carl had me measured, fitted in a great suit and with a tailoring pickup in under an hour. Will definitely shop here again!”
“Walking into Surf & Paddle Shop was like stepping into a fairytale. From the very first moment, I felt wrapped in warmth, kindness, and light. The shop itself shines with such a cozy and magical atmosphere — as if the ocean whispered its secrets right into these walls.
The staff — both the lovely lady and gentleman — were truly wonderful, greeting me with such genuine smiles and even offering sweets ??. It felt less like shopping and more like visiting dear friends. I walked through the store as if floating, surrounded by treasures waiting to be discovered.
And then I found it — the most enchanting sky-blue swimsuit from Local Sunshine & Co. Soft, elegant, and radiant, it fits me perfectly, hugging my body like it was made just for me. Wearing it, I feel both graceful and free, like a mermaid ready to dance with the waves. Paired with crystal-clear swimming goggles, it was the perfect set for my ocean meditations. ?♀️?
Surf & Paddle Shop is more than just a shop — it’s a magical portal where beauty, joy, and kindness meet. I left not only with gorgeous treasures, but with a heart full of light. To me, it felt like a gentle embrace, a kiss on the soul. ?✨
I truly recommend this place to everyone — may you step into this shop and feel the same magic.”
“Walked into this shop and instantly knew I was toast.. fell in love with so much stuff and with the assistance of Tony and Michael I walked out of there with two stuffed shopping bags.. will be back for more soon, guys! Thanks!”
“I had a fantastic costumer service experience with Jennifer F. She took fantastic care of me, made me comfortable, and was not too pushy with sales. I will return bc of the clothing but also because of her customer service. I ended up purchasing a ton bc she was so sweet!”
“Rita is such a blessing to work with. The scrubs I didn't even want to try on are now my favorite.
Thank you so much for your help Rita, I will be back to see you soon.”
“Excellent shopping experience! Went in on short notice with unique needs and came away with everything I needed and more. Father-son team there is also second to none. Will definitely find myself returning.”
“I would just like to come on here and say, I was picking up a T-shirt for my grandson, Tyler. At hip topic and all of the folks were very very nice and friendly.”
“I am extremely pleased with my purchase today. I told Justin what I was looking for and he could not have been more efficient. The prices were more than reasonable to walk away with exactly what I was looking for. Thank You”
“Super friendly sales staff, a wide selection of great Tommy Bahama merchandise in a wide variety of sizes, & this store even had awesome Olakai footwear & Maui Jim sunglasses. All in fabulous downtown St. Petersburg.”
“This store is my husband in a nutshell, I love all the brand they carry as well as the styles they keep in rotation but my personal favorite items might be the souvenir St.Pete FL shirts they have! I've bought a few as gifts but they're always very stylish and the fabric is always so soft.”
“SEPHORA inside Kohl's is the best!! And Rosario is an absolute pleasure! The other ladies are also precious and very helpful, warm and engaging. Trysh ???”
“I would like to give Scott from Mac 5 more stars in this comment. I called the Mac department because I couldn't get the fragrance department on the phone Mac answered. I let him know what was going on with the phone issue. He went above and beyond. He took down my name and number. Went to the fragrance department ask them to hold the products I wanted. He made sure they put them up for me. He also called me the next day to make sure that I got the products. His customer service, his care, and his patience deserve recognition. I never wear makeup but I will definitely go to Mac and have Scott help me buy something just because of his Amazing Character. Thank you Scott keep being the best you!!!”
“I recently had an incredible shopping experience at Guess, thanks to two outstanding employees—Elizabeth and Kylin.
Elizabeth went above and beyond in helping me find the perfect pair of jeans. I was a bit indecisive, but she patiently went through every pair of pants in the store, pulling options that might meet my expectations. She was incredibly attentive and really took the time to ensure I tried on different styles until I found the perfect fit. Her dedication to making sure I was happy with my choices was amazing.
Then, Kylin helped me at checkout, and she was just as impressive. She was not only sweet and friendly but also super knowledgeable about the different jean fits and sizes. It was clear that she really knows her stuff, and her advice made the process smooth and easy.
Overall, both Elizabeth and Kylin made my experience so much more enjoyable. Their professionalism, kindness, and expertise truly made a difference, and I left the store feeling completely satisfied. Highly recommend this location!”
“We went in looking for Sun glasses and the staff was super helpful. One team member (sorry Idk the name… he mentioned having vision issues and was a younger guy ??♀️) was super knowledgeable regarding glasses and pretty much everything. Gave us great advice on places to eat and sold me my first pair of Costas. Love them too so thank you!!”
“Selection is always fabulous. Lots of great items and brands that are hard to find elsewhere. Kristin went above and beyond helping us find sizes and sharing helpful information. Definitely a go to spot for my wife and I to stay properly setup for st Pete life.”
“Good store, one missing star cause they used FEDEX to ship a pair of shoes to me and fedex is an actual joke these days, always a problem or another, wish I was kidding. Had the package leave VA tuesday it's in NC on friday. At this rate it'll get to Florida in a month or so, if the fedex truck doesn't manage to fall into some body of water on the way here. You might be thinking hey this wasn't supposed to be a fedex review but now it is. Vans shoes good though.”
“This place is amazing helps you find a whole alfit to match the shoes and everything the owner is awesome. I'm from California and this is the best hip-hop shop I've been to.”
“One of the largest Old Navy store I've been to. Always love the clearance area. Should have asked what was on the upper level, but after an hour of shopping my ride wanted to leave.”
“Grew up coming to Sand Key and had to stop by my favorite gift shop! They have soooo many t-shirt options. You can pick your favorite print and color shirt and they’ll make it right there! Lots of magnets, keychains, and other souvenirs. Family owned business that I’ll continue to visit each year :)”
“My favorite shop when in CWB. Lots of great t shirts, as well as flip flops and cool stuff. The staff could definitely be friendlier. The lady working on Saturday am was complaining about some dude showing up to work before his shift and called him a moron. Much less than professional. She should have been more focused on being helpful and less on her coworker. She certainly wasn’t friendly. I felt so bad for the young guy having to work with such a harsh lady. If the manager or owner sees this, she needs some coaching.”
“We stopped here in Jul 2021 and found an incredible outfit for my wife. Haven't had the chance to get back to Clear Water since but stopped by today, sadly it was the weekend and it is closed. Don't fret we will be back during the week to do more shopping soon.”
“I went here to get my boyfriend a really nice out fit for his birthday! The store workers were really nice and helped suggest on how to pair the items, overall a great help highly recommended for decent male clothing.”
“Amazing customer serviceGood quality clothes and shoesAnd even has a boost mobile to buy phones which is awesome ??Definitely should go there when you have a chance.”
“These guys helped me pull off the heist of a lifetime! I'm a boss now!Small shop, locally owned, fantastic service. The best new clothing store OF ALL TIME!!!!”
“Going to my first County concert, went in looking for attire help. They were so kind, helpful, attentive and patient. I am going to dress the part well Saturday. Thank you!!!”
“I stopped in to get a gift for my young nephew. I know nothing about hats but the manager Alex hooked me up! We found the perfect hat and he said he could customize it for me. I had no idea Lids did that! Within 15 minutes I had a cool custom hat for my nephew ( who absolutely loved it) thank you Alex . I look forward to creating more custom gifts in the future !”

“Not my usual spot as it's a little out of my way but definitely one I'll be keeping an eye on. Selection although not always my preference is unique and makes it standout, along with access to boutique style drops and unique local collabs. Waited in line this morning for a Bape x Adidas collab and got to have a nice convo with someone else before the owner let us in early who was also super nice and friendly. Experiences like this feel way to far and in-between, but are what keep me into the xiliter and hype. Wish it was closer by, definitely a friendly and knowledgeable staff.”
