I happened to find this store while spending a week in Ocean City.. what a find!…read moreI was born in Indonesia and my great grandmother was from Bali so I really appreciate the lovely, hand made items that this store has to offer. The prices are very reasonable and there's just so much to see! I bought a beautiful batik dress, and this really cool terrarium that sits on driftwood among other things.. I will be back every chance I get!

recently visited this shop with a cage to transport hermit crabs , we bought 3 baby ones and 4…read moresmaller ones , we were told we had to buy another cage which is crazy. explained we have a huge cage at home and was using the little to transport only , they refused to sell the hermit crabs to us without the new cage. horrible service. this was the only place we saw the tiny baby ones for sale. we will never use this establishment again. It's a shame the employee did this in front my child which already had her mind set on the very tiny babies Otherwise I would. Have gone to another store .

Ocean City boardwalk has all kinds of stores. Some of them are like shopping at a mall. There also…read moreone of a kind stores of all kinds. But there are also typical T shirt and boardwalk stores that sell T- shirts, swim suits, cover ups , boogie boards, sand buckets and toys for children, surf boards, and beach supplies. We usually go to OC at the end of the season when things are on sale. T Shirts are now 14.00 at the end of the season they will be 5.00 but in my condition I can't too soon go back so I had to get T shirts having not packed enough because I usually pack too much. I never get it right! Anyway this store has a lot of cute stuff and my favorites were the Big Bang Theory T Shirts with funny quotes from the TV show. I was able to purchase some sparkly red white and blue T-shirts for July 4th!

Playing hooky from your life can be so much fun! FDC and I took advantage of a beautiful spring…read moreday while the kids were still in school. We took days off our jobs and headed down the shore. We discovered the St. Damien Thrift Shop by accident, we were on our way somewhere else nearby and we saw a plain black & white sign draped on a building proclaiming it to be a "THRIFT SHOP". We love thrift shops, so this was a must-stop. The shop is on the first floor of a commercial office/retail building. It doesn't look like much on the outside but like many treasures the best is hidden behind the doors. I knew it was someplace special when, as we walked in, there were Pfaltzgraff "Gourmet Brown/Brown Drip" pattern serving ware and plates on display, and memories of my childhood flooded back. FDC and I gasped, and quickly selected some of our favorite pieces - they were in pristine condition. From there it just got better. This shop benefits the ministries of St. Damien, and the people of this congregation have clearly generously donated to support the effort. The store is chock full of items - kitchen, dining room, bedrooms, clothing closets, books, CD, DVD, VHS, decor items, artwork jewelry, tons of items to outfit yourself and your home. Another treasure found by FDC was a perfect-condition Roseville Pottery planter. It was, of course, among the pricier items, but given it's relative value was also quite a bargain. The volunteers working at the shop were all quite lovely, helpful, cheerful and knew just where things were (which, given the amount of stock, was pretty amazing). This place was very definitely a 'find', and I look forward to more treasure hunts!

This store keeps weird hours, and are run solely by volunteers so even the posted hours aren't…read moreprecise. I arrived 20 minutes after their posted open hours on Friday and still had to wait outside a few minutes while they got things ready. The store is located on the second floor across from the bus depot. A pay lot and metered street parking but no private lot. Inside the place is extremely tight with little rooms separating the various departments. Lots of nick nicks, some vintage all displayed nicely on wicker shelving units I would have wanted to purchase. I felt very uneasy walking through as it's very hard to avoid knocking items down. I did not look at clothes. Prices were higher than average and more in line with an antique store. There's good stuff here, but not anything that had to come home with me. Honestly I didn't spend too much time here as I was feeling claustrophobic.

I've gone the the Islander a few times over the past couple of years and gotten some nice things…read more The clothes seem overpriced to me, though I have found a cute dress or two in the past, and they have held up well. I think the best section is the home goods/ gift section. They have some cute, reasonably priced items like wall hangings, candles, and decorative dishes. I got a $4 ring dish this year. It is a good place to shop for little gifts. We did have an odd experience this year. My mom and I were carrying around some decorative dishes (one each) we wanted to get while we kept looking, and employee walked up to us and asked if she could please hold them at the register. I think some stores along the boardwalk are having trouble with shoplifting, but the interaction was a bit uncomfortable.

Wandering around the Boardwalk on a beautiful fall day, we stumbled across this place. It's really…read moreadorable - lots of items that are one of a kind or that are not typically found in chain box stores. It was not too crowded inside and the displays were very pretty. Great place to pick up a gift for someone.

BUYER BEWARE! Unfortunately I have to rate this business 1 star that they do not deserve. I have…read morepurchased an incredible amount of furniture for my shore house in the past two years. While I was impressed with the in stock furniture and customer service when I was purchasing , my opinion changed when I had an issue with an expensive piece of outdoor furniture. I had the chair less than 30 days when it fell apart. I contacted them and was told I would receive a call back later that day which I did not get. Finally I received a call asking for pictures and serial number. I was then sent an email if I had any questions to contact them. I asked if they would replace the chair since it was practically new and I heard no response. I told them since this was a vacation home I would like to quickly resolve this as we would be closing up the house shortly. Again no response. I followed up two days later with a phone call first thing in the morning and was told the manager and her boss were there and she would call me right back with an answer which never happened. I called an hour before closing to see what the answer was and I was told by the manager what did I expect! It was her birthday and a holiday weekend plus they were busy all day with customers. I guess once they have your money you are no longer a customer. To make matters worse the manager said in his opinion I should apologize to the sales person because he felt I was being unreasonable. Really! All I wanted was answers not attitude. Will be purchasing the rest of my furniture somewhere else.

The delivery and installation was also excellent given the tight spaces in our beach house. We will certainly return there should we need additional items for our home. Did I mention they've got a great selection of Tommy Bahama cloths? I always seem to walk away with something.
