Basically shot us down,"I don't want short term renters in MY neighborhood!" Then, when I was ready to purchase something, I had to get their attention b/c they were discussing "decorating". After giving my appalling experience some thought, I reconsidered my purchase (I can't support a local business in a town who is rude to visitors) and decided to return it the following day, only to to be told, "Store credit only"! I hadn't even removed it from the tissue in the bag! She hemmed and hawed and finally gave credit on my card. I have a feeling that store credit is not good for a year or more until I return next year. Out of town visitors, please beware.

Wandering inside definitely clued us in that this was more "vintage hipster" than thrift or consignment, but the prices for some things truly felt outrageous - the first discovery was a skirt for $75?? Band tees for $20-$30 minimum. There was a good sized selection of jerseys, but after seeing these prices I didn't even browse the racks for those. I wouldn't be surprised if this place has a solid online resale business; that was a bit of the vibe it gave off for sure.

Come here if you want to go on a pirate cruise, rent a jet ski, or go parasailing. Also stop by for icecream, drinks, or whichever meal you want. Restaurants are corporations or mom and pop run places. I prefer mom and pop, but choose whatever tickles your fancy. Need souvenirs? John's Pass has got you covered. Looking for cigars? Check. Looking for an alligator experience? Upstairs. Want a Dick's Last Resort? Gotcha. Just a few steps off the boardwalk. Need candy or wine? Look no further than John's Pass. You can easily find anything and everything you need here. The vibe is laid back and fun. Just be careful not to overspend... very easy to do here! Enjoy.

Johns pass is a cool lil tourist spot. Even if you live here it is cool to come to once in a while…read more Parking is a bit difficult and expensive. Some of the places are still gone from the hurricanes and fires upstairs. They really did a great job building some of it back up. The rent here is high for the store owners so the prices are a bit high for the customers. Being on the water is great too. The pirate ship the sunset cruise. And just hanging at the sandbar is alot of fun. Check it out you wont be disappointed. Johns pass was created by an extreme hurricane a very long time ago and now it is home.

I rarely do souvenir shopping while on a vacation. The weather was a bit cloudy rained in minutes…read morehere and there and it was perfect time to shop. I purchased a mug, hat and four hoodies while on a vacation here, three hoodies for my three little nieces and one for me. They looked small so I got the bigger sizes for my nieces and also got me a medium instead of a small. I come home to try on and it's just not made right. :-( it's not stretch at all. I had difficult time putting it over my head and putting it on. Once it's on it's OK fitted, maybe still a bit tight OMG I am upset! this is not the look I dress for! :-(( I hope the three other hoodies fit my nieces I hope so. I got at least two sizes bigger for them and they are tiny people. ;-) Anyway, this is the reason I don't like to shop away from home but when I saw these hoodies, I thought of my nieces and had to get them. and ended up getting me one too. Yikes The lady was nice and she was very helpful finding sizes and helpful in all. I should have tried on my hoodie. I don't know why I didn't. I thought I was getting a plenty big a hoodie. My recommendation to you is try them on or don't buy don't shop. :-/ This is one of the biggest shop in the area that's why I went here then I was more overwhelmed I realized I prefer smaller store. It'll make it easier to decide on things and will take less time shopping!

We just left and they were having a store wide FLASH SALE ( including a bunch of Farm Rio! ) and there is always a rack outside with some crazy deals on other top brands like BuddyLove. I ordered. Farm Rio slip dress a couple of weeks ago and shipping was very fast. MISRED is always staffed with the sweetest people. Today was no different. There is always adorable new jewelry available, purses, shoes, sneakers and great gifts. If MISRED opened in Tampa ( consider this a plea ) - I would probably skip Anthropologie altogether. The selection here is honestly second to none. MISRED is TEN stars. I wonder if... the seating placed between the dressing rooms could be oriented so that those sitting would be facing the door to the outside. The rooms have privacy curtains but I have knocked those during changing, only to see someone's husband or boyfriend sitting one foot from my dressing room facing me. This has happened several times so I'm generally rushing and trying things on over my existing clothes Just a teensy thought though might not bother others! This shop is worth the drive over the bridge 1000%!
