I love that every time I go in here, there are a few new things to check out. It's a go-to spot for hostess gifts or just to treat myself. Highly recommend stopping in here!”
“Had I not eaten lunch at the Smoke House, I wouldn't have known this was even here! You can't see it well from the street, and parking is a bit of a mystery, but it's really cute in here, with a fantastic bookshop, a salon, a candy/snack shop, a cute plant shop, at least that's what I remember. Very very cute.”

“Everything for someone even pets. Beautiful clothing decor accessories kids clothing. A little pricey but quality speaks for itself. I would tell every woman to visit this store if you're in the area.”
“Went into this store for the first time. The store is laid out nicely and aisles are uncluttered. There were several large quality furniture pieces that had sold tags on them. Lots of framed pictures organized and in various sizes. Have to go inside a number of times to hit it at the right moment to get a quality piece before someone else does.”
“Super cool toy store for the family to visit when in Oak island! We make a point to go every year. Whether you need something small, a puzzle to work through during vacation, or access to a big assortment of quality gifts, this is the place to go!”
“Adding this shop to my list of places I must visit while on family vacation. Stopped in to check out their guitars and ended up spending the better part of an hour just “talking shop” with one of the owners. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. No pressure, felt like I was hanging out with an old friend. As far as guitars go, they have super affordable options as well as some high end, hard to find used instruments. Coincidentally I had been online-eyeballing a certain model guitar and they had it in stock and I bought it. Their prices were at or below the cheapest online. Difference is I didn’t have to deal with shipping a large and fragile instrument, I could actually play it first, it supported a local business, and met a fellow music enthusiast. Even if you are just browsing, it is definitely worth a stop.”
