Tried checking in but it said I was too far away? ‍ How is that possible? Anyway I love this boutique! They have so many adorable tops, dresses, pants etc... but beware!! Very expensive! Even a bit overpriced! $80 t shirts... and they have these cute lightweight sweaters that say "Beach" on them, priced at $90!! I bought almost the same one on Amazon for $30! Just saying... Sometimes they have some reasonable sale items, definitely worth checking out! read more

Our go to little beachy clothing store at the harbor. We always stumble in here and can find cute clothing and accessories every time we come. The clothing and style is very appropriate for the harbor type atmosphere. For the most part, the clothes are breathable, soft and nice fabrics/materials. I love the layout of the store. It's spacious here so it's easy to shop without bumping into people and plenty of room to look around. I also appreciate that they have nice fitting rooms here and they are comfortably sized so you can really try on the clothes and see it from every angle. I've bought a few tops here over the years. Today I got a cute long sleeve piece for under $70. The owner Elizabeth is very nice and helpful. I also appreciate that we could look around at our leisure. She told us about her second store on state st in SB so we'll definitely be checking them out. Prices are average but you get what you pay for and I've always felt that the materials are soft and nice quality. Very glad the harbor has this little gem of a clothing store to help balance out all of the more touristy stores. read more

Walked in because I saw a blouse I wanted from the window. Walked in to the store and the young lady standing behind the register did not even acknowledge me. Granted the store was empty. I thought maybe she's busy, so I kept looking around waiting for a hello or can I help you- she just stared at me and when I proceeded to walk towards her to ask about the pretty blouse, she turned her head and walked away! What !! Not sure if she owns the place or works there but every customer should be treated with professionalism and courtesy. I shop in Seal beach at the Saga store- trust and believe I have the means but I guess my attire wasn't to her satisfaction that she dismissed a potentially great customer! Hope you heal young lady ! Life's much too beautiful to be so miserable. read more

I've gone here numerous times & I was a very good customer. But this time I went in & a woman, (probably the owner) said I couldn't bring my dogs in. All the other clothing/accessory stores allow dogs. NEVER again will I shop here. read more

Nice selection of beach wear California clothes at good prices with attentative clerk assisting me.

Every time I stop in I buy something. The selection is California casual at very affordable prices. I love the neutral colors. I highly recommend this store for women's clothing and accessories. read more

Beautiful, feminine clothing. Fantastic selection of linen items and unique dresses. Great customer service. It's expensive but the location is in a tourist trap. read more

BUYER BEWARE!! So disappointing. Fabulous clothing but awful customer service and return policy. If you are looking for something for yourself - I'd recommend it... but if you want a gift - keep walking. I bought a beautiful coat for my MIL, who lives out of town, for Christmas. The coat didn't fit so we tried to return it for an even exchange. The item still has the tags, had no damage and they acknowledged it was purchased there. But it was past the 10 day return policy - which I wasn't told at the time of purchase. I was told today that "if I read my receipt I would have seen it." Talk about reading the fine print! There was no one authorized to make an exception so I need to buy a replacement gift. And told them I'll be donating the gift to a homeless person in the area so they can be embarrassed about this ridiculous customer service every time they are outside their store. A seemingly simple "even exchange" became an aggravating experience. I believe on - and work hard to - support small businesses, but I will not be a patron at this store again. Such a shame, but not worth the hassle with a staff that lacks authority, inflexible policies for something so simple and no one available by phone to make an exception. Best of luck to this small business owner... you can't afford to lose customers in this economy and you have done exactly that today. read more

I stumbled inside the Barefoot Boutique trying to kill some time before the boat parade started at the Ventura Village Harbor. The stores sells mostly ladies clothes, nice, casual style, accessories, jewelry, hip, elegant, simple, decent prices. The customer service here is great, the ladies working here had a nice set up for customers with snacks, brownies, cupcakes, sparkling water for everyone to get a treat while shopping. Nice and welcoming! I browsed the boutique which is very nicely decorated, simple, airy with comfortable fitting rooms. The merchandise is nice, simple, good quality, some made local (which I appreciate) and perfect for California - nice, simple, bohemian. I ended up trying a nice blouse and my husband wasn't bored, he kept being invited to the table full of goodies. I'm glad he was being entertained while I was changing (took me a while with all the layers I had on for the parade). I liked the blouse, so Santa got it for me (shhh..., please!). It's nice, cool, my style. I was surprised by the great customer service at the Barefoot Boutique, the nice merchandise, the classy style of the decoration. Nothing cheesy or touristy about this place. Great discovery while I was at the Ventura Village Harbor. Nice, classy boutique. read more

I went in to this store, and the owner was so rude. She followed my daughter around while she was looking at things. She accused her of getting a tank top dirty which she didn't. I was holding an $80 sweater that I was going to purchase and that was only the beginning of my shopping. I walked out because of how rude she was and told her that, and she told me I was rude. Clearly, she shouldn't be in customer service. One star is generous. I wish zero stars was an option. read more

I love Barefoot Boutique! It is a very attractive store- filled with the cutest, most recent merchandise. And selling at very reasonable prices. I would give my review 10 stars - if I could! I can't wait to go back. read more

Great service, low boutique prices. The selection is limited but it isn't a huge shop. I have been here twice now and there are a lot of very soft sweaters and soft clothes. What I am usually after are leggings and they had an amazing assortment today, all very stylish. read more

Barefoot Boutique - Down this hallway - Women's Clothing Near Me - Ventura, California

Such a cute little shop in the harbor. Every time I've visited Ventura, it's always a must to stop off here and have a wander though the stores. Some times it's a go with a purchase and others no. But regardless, it's always a nice little shop to have a wander through. They tend to carry a lot of basics which is great as they go with everything easier. Loads of cute gifts as well. Candles, jewelry and a good selections of accessories. read more

I went into the shop and immediately started to get stared at. I went to one of the tables and the second I picked up a tank top, the owner came and kept staring me down and dusting everything I touched. I was also accused of dirtying a tank top, that was like that when I walked in. I didn't get a chance to move past the front of the store. I was going to buy a $38 tank top but got turned off by how rude the owner was being to me and my family. She was calling me rude and wasn't treating us with respect. Obviously this woman had no sense of how to work in costumer service. #Barefootboutiquekaren #experienceruined read more

Barefoot Boutique - The lady in the blue shirt was the one who was rude. - Women's Clothing Near Me - Ventura, California

Loved this little shop in Ventura Harbor. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable and her collection of clothes and jewelry were perfect for beach wear. I always stop by this store when I visit the Harbor. read more

I LOVE THIS store. The reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because I ordered replicas of a dress I absolutely LOVE on line. I paid over $30.00 extra for next day air shipping. It's been over a week and I still don't have it. When I use the UPS tracking # it states label created, merchandise not received. I've emailed the store several times (3), and left a voice mail message. Phone number goes directly to voicemail. If anyone FROM THE STORE reads this message, please review your voicemail message, email messages and get back with me. Thank you. read more

Poor service and was disrespectful to their costumers. Do not recommend. Clothes were cute, but not worth the price.

I love this store sooooo much. And I love the owner of this store although ive never met her (yet). I love her for having a store that INCLUDES alllll women. You can go in here if you are 20 40 60 or 80 and not only find something that you love, but also something that makes you FEEL lovely. She buys for ALL women. Its not just beautiful stuff its very good quality it's timeless and its priced on point. I love her silk...not sure where she finds it but its glorious. I love clothes that flow behind you as you fabulously walk by...clothes that blow in the wind clothes and look like ART. Whether you are local or just passing thru go to the ventura harbor, go to this boutique and see for yourself. And lastly...fuck "forever 21" ... and fuck whoever named that store. THANK YOU!! read more

I love this store and the buyer/owner has a good eye. It's a little pricey but I wear the tops, pants and shifts all the time. I'm glad I had a good return experience because that would have soured my al future shopping but they did the right thing. I was even wearing one of their items (by accident) but it showed that I was a repeat customer. This is the life force of any long term business. Thank you! I'll be back. read more

As Barefoot Boutique's Facebook page says they cater to the California Beach lifestyle , from Sweatshirts and graphic tees, to yoga pants, kimono tops and fringed cardigans, this is perfect for the tourist or for the average beach-goer. The prices are higher than your average department store, but you are dealing with a locally owned store so that needs to be taken into account, and I'm always willing to pay extra to help a local shop. So why three stars? Because while the clothes are fashionable, I felt a definite sense of bias because I did not fit into the cookie cutter sizes they were offering, I felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, at the disdain the clerk appeared to have over anything above a size Large... where's Richard Gere when you need him? So while I do like the merchandise sold at Barefoot, I think they need to expand their size field, and maybe work on the customer service... I had money to spend that day, and I chose to walk away and give it to someone who actually appreciated it. read more

My favorite boutique. There was an online error and a blouse came up free. I received an email telling me that they would honor the free price and ship the blouse. Honest business with fabulous selection and service. Thank you read more

I love the boho clothes in this store. However, at both locations( the Collection & ventura harbour ), the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. If I'm going to drop some cash, I kind of expect a little friendlier service. I got there after they closed ( didn't expect them to be closed, but I had something on hold & couldn't get there until later) The sheer attitude that I got from everyone working was dismaying. Especially the gal that rang me up. Her attitude was absolutely atrocious. I'll probably not shop here again just because the CS service is so horrendous. Also, I tried to talk to the person on the other end of the number that's on the website. She was not helpful either. Left a message, never heard back from her. I also experienced "size judgement " from just about everyone who works at both locations. Sad in this day & age. read more

This is a cute little boutique with lots to choose from! The sales people are always friendly and helpful. There are items for every budget! I've seen clothing at this shop that I've found in Ojai and Montecito boutiques and also stuff that Angl carries(seriously the same exact dress) but at more reasonable prices. I highly recommend checking this spot out if you are in the market for some boho casual looks for spring/summer! read more

I was so disappointed at the Ventura Harbor boutique today because I could get no help at all. The customer service was terrible. The young girl sat behind the desk on her phone the whole time, and couldn't even answer the simplest questions about merchandise. Then when I did pick something out and asked her to put it in a box, she didn't even know how to tie a bow. Very disappointed in owner/manager who can't train a young woman to service people. In the past, I bought items at the store in the Collections and was very happy, but today I went out of my way to go to Ventura Village just to shop there, and was treated horribly. I guess this small businesses doesn't really care to have my business. Audrey read more

Wonderful women's boutique with beachy casual clothing, everything is so comfy and soft! This shop has lots of dress options for special occasions as well, all at very affordable prices. Great, welcoming atmosphere with very friendly service at both locations! read more

I like going in here because they usually have something cute that is t too pricey. Overall I love this store. I do think prices have gone up - but prices have gone up on everything so I wasn't surprised. Today I was very disappointed because I walked in and the girl working there didn't even look up from her phone once. She didn't say hi or anything. There was no one else in the store, a woman did walk in shortly after I did and she was not acknowledged either. I walked past her at the cash register twice and still she did not look up from her phone. I walked past her a third time and looked at her to see if she'd say hi and still just just looked at her phone. I like this store and in the past there has been a very nice and engaging young lady with long blonde hair who has always given good customer service. Some reading this may not care about customer service. So, for clothes - today there wasn't much new that I saw, in the past they have had cute stuff and affordable prices. 2 stars for no customer service. read more

I ran into the owner a few times who is Very Rude! Luckily, she has not been in the store the last few times I have been there Thank God! I always take a peek before I go in just checking if the owner is there, because I would probably hesitate to go in. I love the store it's always a must when I come out to Ventura which is often. It's a little pricey and marked up I have seen the same brand/dress at Marshalls and Amazon for a lot less. read more

Do not shop here! I have spent hundreds of dollars in this store. I bought a ripped top ( couldn't see in store) and when I went to exchange they lectured me that I should have seen. Maybe but it was dark out, then I couldn't get back to the store until after Thanksgiving so over the time limit of 10 days. You can say I should know better, and now I do. Won't shop there ever. Nasty people who count on tourists rather than locals. read more

Stay away from this place. I have only written 2 negative reviews over the years. Both have been due to such outrageous experiences, I felt the need to help others. As a small business owner myself, I have my clients as my priority. They are, after all the lifeblood of my business. Customer Care at Barefoot Boutique, Ventura Harbor is not a priority, in fact, it feels like they wish their shop could get out of its lease. I'm new to the community and was excited to see the store's inventory. I purchased some clothes but noticed, when I was home, the $69.00 skirt I purchased, didn't have the elastic at the waist sewed to the fabric. Knowing this would be a issue for me, as it would turn and bunch up. I went back less than 24 hours later, to return just the skirt. With in seconds of saying "Hi, I have a return." The owners daughter fired out, "all sales are final." (Before I go on, I need to say, the really nice sales associate who helped me shop is not to be included. ) My response was surprise at this abrupt retort. The receipt does not say final sale, the owners daughter, who had checked me out, said nothing about a final sale. She said a sign was at the cash register (there was no sign.). They pointed me to a sign (which was a ripped page of note paper they had taped to the counter at least 4 feet away from the register that same day. It was written in scrawling thin blue ink, "sales final." I was told that it was due to a government rule during the pandemic??? Yeah.... I guess the government let Target off the hook. Such BS. No conversation, just rude shaking of head. Im not an idiot and know a ruse when I see one. They are there for tourist trade where they don't have to worry about a customer base. I see some good reviews. Must have been on a random good day. I've got a few more contacts to make with this because, I know I experienced a gross ripoff as I said I'd be happy just to take a store credit. The owners daughter needs some social skills. read more

This place has zero customer service! Lady sits behind counter and doesn't move to answer a question, make a phone call to twin store to check for sizes, or assist in ANY WAY! Only carries smaller sizes read more

It's such a shame this place could be so great however the management leaves much to be desired. The owner is rude, distasteful, and sloppy. The clothing is cheap and falls apart after one washing. You can find the same clothes at a much lower price at similar boutiques. Best of luck to the store. read more

I needed a dress for an event and decided to come in here and after visiting the chain stores in the collection and just not seeing anything great. I was greeted by a young blonde girl, she offered to help me which was so refreshing because these days store associates just don't come up to you or offer suggestions. They had a cute selection of beachy style clothes and I ended up getting a dress. I would definitely come back here to shop. The prices were reasonable and it's not cheap fast fashion. read more

Such great and stylish clothing and at very reasonable prices! No upscale snooties at this place just a really nice down to earth owner with some great help! They've grown in the last few months and have even more fabulous styles to offer. Love this boutique! read more

Happy to report that on my follow up visit, they had size L. The new arrivals rack was filled with cute, casual, beachy styles just in time for summer. Looking forward to stopping in more often. Super cute shop! read more

I enjoy the collection of very reasonably priced items. Most items I have purchased have fit well and have lasted more than a few washes. I sometimes find that the deeper the discount, the less likely the quality. However not the case with the great finds I have purchased so far. The reason for the 3 stars is the complete lack of customer service. While I will say that the Collection location is somewhat better with service, however not A1 service for a boutique setting. I really wish that small business owners would stress the important of genuine customer service, I believe that more retailers would survive the Amazon takeover. read more

Great selection of clothes and customer service is outstanding! Love coming here to shop

BEWARE. This shop has a very unforgiving return or exchange policy. I was taking care of my beloved dog who's dying of cancer so I didn't have the chance to return the item within their short 7 day policy. The item was wrong size and brand new, with tags, perfect condition and they wouldn't even except for an exchange. I've spent hundreds of dollars there in the past year and apparently that doesn't mean anything to them. Very very disappointed read more

Love the clothes in here. Been here many times. Being a beach city and especially in a dog-friendly harbor such as Ventura Harbor Village, this place is NOT dog friendly. Sooo behind the times! Everyone let's dogs in nowadays. People don't bring dogs shopping if they are not well-behaved. I was asked to leave, unless it's a therapy dog. I was ready to thrown down some serious cash on 3 dresses a purse and some cute jeans. UGH... The lady said she loves dogs but the owner does not. Really too bad. I spend a lot of money on clothes. Dog owners that take their dogs everywhere are big spenders. We treat our dogs like family. If we spend and treat our dogs this way, imagine how we spend on ourselves. Shame on this beach town business! My little tiny dog is no nuisance to your business. Yuck! read more

Have lived in Ventura for 3 years and so love the Ventura Harbor. My husband and I go weekly to eat and shop. We love supporting the shops and local owners. This weekend we had friends visiting from Minnesota and took them to the Harbor to enjoy food and share the opportunity to shop "locally." My friend and I both bought some earrings from Barefoot Boutique. When we got back home we put them on and within 5 minutes our ears were burning and itching. Understanding that we would get store credit for a return, we went back today to return to find out that in small print on the receipt (which is printed after purchase) that jewelry is not "Returnable". To be fully upfront, I was showed today when I tried to get store credit for my return on the bottom of the IPad they use to sale items has a small piece of paper sharing that jewelry is not returnable. As a local resident who takes all my friends and family to the Harbor, I would just say "BUYER BEWARE". I would have tried them on before purchase if I knew I could not return. Let me say I would be happy with store credit... but after being told To read the small print on my receipt. So as you bring friends and family to support our lovely Harbor and the shops, just read the small print. It is not right to take advantage of the people who come to visit and go home and find they can't wear or use the things they bought in the Ventura Harbor, read more
