Cove

I'm parked on a winery patio next to The Cove, nursing a glass of something bold while my wife…read moredisappears into what I can only assume is a portal to fashion nirvana. I don't question it. She emerges happy, and that's all that matters. But here's the thing--The Cove isn't just another beach-town boutique. It's an anomaly. A lone wolf. A place that, by all rights, should be in a hip LA district or some high priced shopping mecca, not wedged between surf shops and dime-a-dozen fast fashion joints. Yet, here it stands, holding its own. I don't pretend to understand women's casual fashion, but even I can recognize quality when I see it. High-end labels. Carefully curated pieces. Stuff that doesn't scream "I bought this off a clearance rack at a strip mall." This is where the sharp-dressed, boho-chic crowd comes to play. A word to the wise: if you see something you like, buy it. Boutique shopping is a cruel mistress--wait too long, and that perfect piece will be gone, never to return. (Discovered on more than one occasion) So if you (or your better half) have a taste for fashion that's actually worth the price tag, The Cove is the move. Me? I'll be next door at the winery next door.

I'm a bargain hunter, so the apparel was a bit pricey for me, however, there were many pieces I LOVED. The owner, Scott, was very helpful. I have a pair of prescription sunglasses that slide off of my face, and he offered to adjust them for free. They fit perfectly now! Next time we're in town, we will definitely stop by to say hi and see what new goodies they have. Thanks Scott!

The one thing I really love is that the store is very big and has some great changing rooms. They also have very well organized sections and it doesn't feel cramped. The staff are always friendly, and don't breathe down your neck/give you space to shop around, which I'd prefer. The prices and sometimes out of my budget, but it's mostly great quality items!

I've always had a great experience shopping there and I love supporting local. Several of the negative reviews are from years past, but I have to call out some things. 1. Every store has return policies. You can't be mad at businesses reinforcing those. It's your job to pay attention (and I'm a chronic late returner). 2. Parking in downtown SC is rough, but it's not the shop's fault. 3. No businesses have to let customers use the restroom. I get it...it's nice when they do. But if they allow you, imagine how many other people ask. So I'm giving them 5 stars for being an awesome little shop that deserves recognition for having versatile and cute clothes that all ages can love. PS The staff are nice and friendly!

Of all the stores I visited, the customer service was very chill or beachy, where no one really bothers you or try to sell you anything. Visitors and shops all seem pretty friendly. There's multiple parking lots in the area. You can also take the trolly to the outlets, if you're traveling by train. Only takes about 25 minutes if it's not too busy, or a full trolley ride. I didn't see much food choices here. but a few coffee shops. There's a noodle place that I saw that looked interesting. Maybe at my next visit.

The trolly is sometimes delayed so don't relay too heavily on the timing estimate of 15-25 minutes but it's still worth waiting for if you want to head to the beach!
