A treasure hunt with charm and value…read more Penny Wise Consignment is one of those places where you walk in "just to browse" and somehow leave with a bag full of finds you didn't know you needed. The shop is well‑organized without losing that fun, treasure‑hunt energy that makes consignment shopping so addictive. Clothing, accessories, home goods--everything feels curated enough to be worth your time, but still priced like a true local gem. What really sets Penny Wise apart is the staff. They're friendly, patient, and genuinely invested in helping you find something that fits your style or your home. There's a sense of loyalty and community here--you can tell regulars come back not just for the deals, but for the people. Inventory rotates often, which keeps things fresh, though it also means you've got to be quick if you spot something great. A little more space or updated displays would push this place into five‑star territory, but honestly, the charm is part of the appeal. If you love good value, unique pieces, and a shop that feels like it's run with heart, Penny Wise is absolutely worth the stop. Enjoy

Wave is a step up in quality from most other stores on the island, with many higher-end brands of surf-and-sea type clothes. They also have great sunglasses, footwear and hats. Dennis, the owner, is a cool cat and always good to chat with. This is the place to go as far as I'm concerned and recommend it for any visit out to the Block.

Island Outfitters is definitely a place to visit whenever shopping for fun clothing and new outfits…read morewhile in Watch Hill, Newport, the vineyard, and I think some other locations. They have a wide selection of vineyard vines, north face, and other fun stuff. The store is not super huge but is usually pretty packed. It's saved me money on things I'm going to buy anyway since some of the items are on sale that never go on sale online (north face stuff!). Always a friendly staff, can't wait to go back!

So the staff is nice and their selection is pretty good for the location. However prices are…read morestupidly high compared to other stores. The big issue is their return policy. No where in their store did I see a sign for store credit only. I'm not sure if it's because of where they are located but apparently it's a company policy. I'm not a local so I don't want store credit. It's impossible to buy someone someone else a gift because what if they don't like it? What if they don't like anything in the store? It's a very frustrating policy especially since everything they sell accepts returns.. (vineyard vines, jack Rogers, sail to sable etc) so unfortunately if I see something in the store I like I will purchase directly from the company instead of buying local. Sorry Island Outfitters you just lost a loyal customer of 10 years...
