I returned to San Diego this year, my favorite city! I stopped here at Captain's Cove and I saw a shirt I just loved. I didn't buy it at the time, but when I got home I decided to buy it over the phone. When I called I spoke to Asma. She took care of my order and even wrapped it up in cute nautical paper for me! I received it just a few days later. I was very happy with my purchase and will return there next year in person. They also have really cool pirates up near the ceiling that are fun to get a photo of. I recommend this store for souvenirs when you are in Seaport Village! read more

Captain's Cove is such a cute store! I love anything with a nautical theme, and this store has tons of great stuff. This seems like such a fun (and appropriate) store for a shopping center like Seaport Village! My son thought the pirate themed items were great! There were clothes for adults and children alike. I thought the onesie that said "I smell trouble" was just too cute. They have pirate shirts and hats. The huge selection of guns was truly unique. There were lots of signs, plaques, and even wall art. There are items even hanging from the ceiling here. The nautical items are my favorite things to explore here. Brass bells, signs, and clocks are throughout the store. I really like lighthouses, and we found the cutest jewelry box and snow globe. We liked them so much that we ended up buying both. They had some nice compasses and clocks that would make nice gifts for anyone who likes nautical stuff. The service was good here too. The salesperson who rang up our items was both thoughtful and sweet. She made sure to ask if we found everything we were looking for and wrapped our items with such care. She was also very knowledgable about the items here too. If you're anywhere near Seaport Village and need to buy a gift for someone who likes nautical or pirate themed items, you'll never go wrong with stopping by Captain's Cove for a unique gift!! read more

All of my rennie friends who also enjoy all things pirates - would love to get set loose in this shop! As I entered, I noted the background music playing was Sea Shanties! There were some rather large decorative piratical items I would loved to have secured for next year's Privateer Feast (annual fundraiser for breast cancer research where everyone dresses like pirates, gets drunk, and spends money on raffle tickets and auction items). Since I did not have room to haul any large booty and loot back to Virginia with me - the guys running the shop advised me they have a web site and they ship! Avast ye Scally Wags! Prepare to be boarded! read more

Great little store in Sea Port Village full of fun and cute souvenirs! As a local I wasn't looking for anything for myself but the employees were happy to help me shop for an upcoming business trip for small San Diego labeled items (not tacky) to bring to my coworkers on the east coast! I settled on some super cute treasure chests with a little side label that would be carry on friendly. I was surprised that they helped me shop and thankful that they sped up my shopping trip since I could spend hours looking at all the little things they have to offer! read more

This store, back a few years with the original owners, was the place to get pirate stuff. You could buy pirate trinkets, pirate shirts, flags, hats, weapons of all kinds, books. Now with these owners, it has gone way down hill. All they are selling are t-shirts with pirates written on them. This store should change its name. It's a rip off read more

"All who enter must surrender the booty" I thought this sign was unique when I saw it at Captain's Cove, but later discovered it at some other tourist stores. Still, I'm so lame I laughed. Captain's Cove is a new breed of pirate souvenir store I've noticed lately in Seattle and now, San Diego (not that they're related). The entire store is full of pirate stuff including cute little framed treasure maps (want!). The best souvenir was a real coconut (with husk/hair) made into some crude voodoo head. Their business card includes a 12% off discount (um, nice round number) for your online order with code "CC6." read more

I couldn't believe I hadn't noticed this store before. Walking in there I thought I was at Disneyland, with the pirate music and all the pirate gear. It is reasonably priced for being in seaport village, the two people that were working were very nice and the stuff was super cute. I ended up getting my friend a "poop deck" sign. It made me giggle. Aside from the pirate stuff they also have a great amount of nautical "stuff". Like anchors, ship wheels and such. Can't wait to go back with more $ to really get everything I wanted. read more

She insisted I buy a shirt that had a stretched out top that I tried on "because of the pandemic" and would not let me take another one in the same size.

Annoying return policy. Would not buy from again. More trouble than it's worth to get a refund on a damaged jacket. A good store would be able to issue a partial or full refund without requiring me to drive out of my way to return the item. Not an SD local (family is) and they require me to physically bring the item back. Other stores are able to do this, you can't? I offered to send through mail or email photo of damage but that was not acceptable. Cheap material! Beware. read more

We really enjoyed this store, they have great nautical, pirate, mermaid themed items. They have a pretty unique collection of stuff and have a friendly staff. My husband has been looking for a boatswain's whistle for quite some time. We saw one at the Renaissance Faire in Irwindale but it costs too much, but found the same one at Captian's Cove for only about $14 bucks. One of the employee dresses up as a pirate and looks like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean. He was super knowledgeable about the items in the store. We saw a lot of cute ornaments, posters, signs, clothes, lamps, figurines at very affordable prices. Definitely one of our favorite stores in Seaport Village. read more

There's lots of cute little ship/pirate themed gifts in here, from shirts, hats and other clothing, to photos, Christmas ornaments and more. Pricing is expensive though. I bought a onesie for my daughter because it had a mermaid on it, and it was 15$, nothing super special, just a mermaid and "San Diego" on it. Also didn't have a variety of sizing, just 6 months and 18 months...that's a pretty large gap to not carry. Girl working there was polite though. At one point during checkout a man showed up and stood next to her for a few minutes staring at me, but saying nothing. He mumbled something to her, and then continued to stand there. It was awkward to say the least. Other than that, if you're looking for pirate inspired gifts, this is a good place to check out. read more

This was a fun place to visit and shop when we were in San Diego recently for a UCSD graduation. The staff was friendly, helpful and entertaining. And this didn't end when you left the store; I contacted them via email regarding something I saw in the shop and they directed me to the exact location on their web page where I could find and purchase it online. In addition, when I forgot to use the code to get the 12% discount for the online purchase, as offered on their business card, I called and they were able to give me a credit for it since I paid with PayPal. I will definitely shop there again both on-line and when I next visit San Diego. Excellent customer service! Yo ho ho. read more

I have been to Gypsy Treasure several times in the past, but this was my first visit since they have moved to the Grossmont Center location (apparently about five years ago). I came in about 5 days before Halloween, primarily in search of makeup and a crown for my Day of the Dead festival look. When I walked in, the place was pretty hopping. However, I was quickly greeted at the makeup counter and walked through the white face paint options, and given information about some of the various color palettes. After some conversation and deliberation, I chose a white water-based face paint and a couple of color palettes. One was glow-in-the-dark. I then asked about flower crowns, and was surprised to find that they only had one. It was one of those cheesy costume kits that came with skeleton hand gloves and skull earrings, neither of which I wanted. However, the price was pretty inexpensive, so I purchased it just for the crown. I looked around for a hat for my husband's costume, but couldn't find exactly what he wanted, though they had some pretty unique hats. Gypsy Treasure has a large selection of costumes for rent, which appeared to be of much higher quality than the costumes for sale. I saw several cute vintage dresses and hats for women, as well as some pretty elaborate costumes. I did feel that several of the costume items in the front of the store were the same quality you would get from any Halloween store. However, I would definitely return for makeup, or if I had costume needs outside of the Halloween season.

It wasn't enforced upon walk in but I wanted to respect the business. I was really nervous putting my backpack in there as it is right in front of the door and anyone could just grab and go. That made me uneasy while shopping and it made me breeze through the store quicker than I had liked and I didn't get a chance to fully look. So right away one tip I would have for management is to put that bin behind the counter to ensure safety. In regard to the selection, this place is extremely eclectic and had vintage costume pieces as well as newer. There were novelty items, even some bondage costumes, period costumes, and just a lot of really fun pieces. The prices were right on point and didn't feel too costly. They have two dressing rooms that had really cute themes. For a small store, there were a lot of different rooms and nooks. I was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely go back. I just wouldn't bring a backpack or big bag that day.

2 More days till Halloween and I still haven't set up my HAUNTED HALLOWEEN HOUSE for this year. I…read morewas too busy these past few days with the passing of one of our family members and it seems that we don't feel like decorating this year. YESTERDAY we visited our favorite store for Halloween, "SPIRIT HALLOWEEN", to see what we could add this year. As always SPIRIT HALLOWEEN always sold us good ANIMATRONICS for our Haunted House. LAST YEAR our Best Buy from them were these 2 TALL FLAMING FIRES that I put on both sides of my DEVILISH looking CHAIR surrounded with HUGE ANIMATRONICS. But this year when we came to visit Spirit Halloween there weren't many selections for me, but we were still able to purchase a few. I just don't know if I'm going to be able to put out all of my ANIMATRONICS and set them up, power them up to move, and make them make sounds with phrases. I will try my best, but no promises 'coz I really feel bad to those KIDS who come every year, my Haunted house even lasts until 12 MIDNIGHT. Well I had to close my Gate at 12 am or people wont stop coming , plus at night it gets creepier, I don't see kids anymore, but I see teens and adults going down from their car with BEAUTIFUL costumes still trick or tricking at my house ;) Again, most of these ANIMATRONICS that makes my house HAUNTED on HALLOWEEN are mostly from the "SPIRIT HALLOWEEN STORE". And again, this year I'm not sure if I can put them up 'coz unboxing them, putting them up, and making them move and talk and plus the Lighting takes a lot of time and we aren't sure if we are gonna make it in time. Sorry in advance to those who come every year. Our 17 year old dog just passed away and my regular routine slowed down. So if this Haunted House is not up this Monday, see you guys next Halloween kids.

My talented husband usually makes our family costumes but things came up this year. I wanted to…read moredress up as a family theme. We came in the second week of October and things were pretty filled. It was well organized. The workers were courteous. We decided on dressing up as M & M's. When we left the store I realized the green M& M is a girl, I have all boys. The exchange process was easy. The person helping me do the exchange was cheerful she was dressed as Sally from the Nightmare before Christmas We visited a handful of pop-up Halloween stores and this was our favorite one. The staff was all dressed up in costume. Everyone we interacted with was nice and helpful. It has tons of free parking. We will return back to this location next year.

***ATTENTION Corporate Leaders***…read more My cousin & I were disrespected & humiliated at Spirit Halloween - CaminoTENT #60754 in Westfield Mission Valley Mall on 10/25/22 at 4:19PM by Cashier Jana (3363793) & her Unknown Shift Lead at Register 4, Transaction #2666. I purchased a Superman costume at this location on 10/21. Because the receipt machine wasn't working, the employee who rung me up wrote down the receipt information [View Picture of receipt] & stated that after today, 10/21, only exchanges can be allowed. On Tuesday, 10/25, I returned to the store to exchange the costume. Once I got to the register I stated: "I would like to exchange this costume for a different one. It did not fit right." The cashier, named "Jana," inspected the bag & noticed there was a miniature plastic bag inside. I stated: "Oh, it must have been what the cape was in." Jana stated: "We cannot take an item back once the 'accessories' have been open." I stated: "I was unaware of this policy." Showing her the makeshift receipt I was given, I stated: "Seeing as I was unaware of this policy & was given a receipt with no Return/Exchange Policy stated, can you make an exception?" Jana then retrieved her Supervisor/Shift Lead, who was not wearing a Name Badge at the time. Unknown "Lead": "We cannot take an item back once the 'accessories' have been open." I stated: "I understand your policy, but I was unaware of this policy when I bought it nor does it say anything on my [makeshift] receipt." Unknown Lead: "We tell all our customers this before they buy them." I stated: "I understand that, but 'I' was not told this when I bought it." Unknown Lead claimed: "... I was there when she rung you up. So 'I know' she said it to you." I was baffled at her claim stating that she was "there" when that employee who wrote me a receipt rung me up. Jana stated: "... we're still following COVID rules, we can return a costume because we can wash it. We can't wash accessories." I stated: "... but the [Superman's] cape is the same [material] as the costume, it can be washed..." Unknown Lead: "As we said [with an unsympathetic demeanor]... we can't return accessories once they've been opened." Jana: "We can swap it out for the same costume [which didn't make sense], but it has to be the same one." As we went back & forth, additional "rules" regarding exchanges were spewing out of Jana & Unknown Lead's mouths. The line began to grow, growing past the end of the line wrapping around the store, with only 1 register open - the resister that my cousin & I were at. I stated: "Look, I'm not hear to fight & we're clearly holding up the line. Is there anything you can do for us?" Unknown Lead: "We cannot make the exchange.." With gawking eyes staring us down from the growing line, we embarrassingly took my Superman costume, leaving the store without even an apology. As my cousin & I walked back to my car, we examined the costume bag itself. As we took out the miniature bag which was supposed to hold Superman's cape, we looked at it & realized it read: "Halloween Spider Costu... dysuit with Mask, Adult XXXL" [View Picture of bag]. My cousin & I remained calm and returned to the register. Fortunately we were at Jana's register again - to not have to explain our whole story. The Unknown Lead returned to the register. We told her what happened and that the miniature bag inside the Superman costume packaging was from the Spider-Man mask I have at my home. Unknown Lead stated: "Well... all the capes are still in separate packaging..." My cousin stated: "No, they are not. We checked all the costumes. The capes are attached." The Unknown Lead sends Jana to check ALL the Superman costumes, not even acknowledging my cousin's or my presence while Jana is doing her investigation. Jana returns to the register & quietly states to her lead: "The capes are attached..." Our transaction was Completed. I was able to exchange my costume for another one... HOWEVER, not once did the Unknown Lead or Jana apologize for their behavior and their wrongful actions against my cousin & me. As the transaction was finished, I thanked Jana for the exchange. Walking out the tent with my cousin, the Unknown Lead was standing at the doorway... unapologetic. No sorry for being wrong, no sorry for humiliating us in front of the whole store, and no sorry that we had to go through all this to do a simple exchange of a costume. To Jana, I understand that you were just "doing your job" & complying with your "Lead." But to the Unknown Lead, shame on you. You profiled us as "Karen's" trying to pull the wool over your eyes to get our money back. We in fact spent more money for the exchange. I may have left with a better costume, but we lost our respect for Spirit Halloween stores. I understand that this is a Seasonal Job and that Jana's & the Unknown Lead's job will end next week, but that doesn't give employees the right to disrespect costumers like that.
