This is the best beach boutique featuring the cutest glassware, home decor, dresses, accessories, jewelry, and more. The girls working are always so welcoming and you can tell that so much dedication has gone into owning such a beautiful shop. I visited in January and we got to speak with the owner about the hurricane damage and it was impressive to hear how they spent countless hours restoring the shop. I own a few rings from here that I wear all the time and the cutest AMI shirt that is unlike your typical t-shirt souvenir that you would find at a chain touristy shop. There is so much to see in this store and it is definitely worth your time to make a quick pit stop here on your next visit to AMI.

Poor quality and NO customer support. In October we purchased 2 Twin XL mattresses to be used…read moretogether on a king size adjustable base. Delivery was delayed as Ashley said they received only one mattress and had to wait for the second. Once delivery was made it became immediately evident that one mattress was thicker than the other. I was tempted to refuse delivery, but was told by their delivery person that these mattresses, which were shipped rolled up in a box, take up to 24 hours to fully expand. Well, "full expansion" never occurred and one mattress remains thicker than the other. Ashley did nothing until we filed a dispute with the finance company. Ultimately, they have sent a technician to the house twice, and have confirmed, on both inspections, that the mattresses are different heights. Ashley insists that they meet specification and will not correct. This leaves one side of a king size bed higher than the other. Our recommendation is to not buy from Ashley as their quality is questionable, and their customer support is non-existent. Should you elect to proceed with a purchase, please inspect thoroughly on delivery and refuse immediately if there are any problems/defects; otherwise getting your purchase corrected will be very difficult, if at all.

I'm happy to share our experience working with Mark and Michelle and Beach Haus Interiors…read more.. So a little history about our house...We built a home on Boca Grande in 2022. When asked about interior ideas, our contractor suggested Beach Haus Interiors and the Mansfield's. As the project progressed, I'd started thinking that I had the time and kinda know what I was looking for, I didn't need help with the interior of the house. I started my search for all that is home interior, which very quickly ended in tears as I was so overwhelmed. Turns out that I needed Michelle's expertise after all. Michelle began by getting an understanding of how we'd use the space...in our case we wanted a very informal and coastal vibe with a focus on the outdoor space. We loved that she gave us style, color and material choices for everything. Michelle started by laying out the bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry room. Helped pick out exterior colors and materials, then moved on to flooring, bathroom fixtures and tile, the kitchen cabinets, countertops and appliances and of course added furniture, fixtures, rugs, wallpaper, window treatments and bedding. I'm sure that there are things I'm forgetting but you get the idea. Mark and Jacob certainly did their parts as well...they built shelves, hung all of the window treatments, assembled and installed all furniture, and hung pictures and mirrors as well as lighting. Beach Haus is a one stop shop! We are so grateful for Michelle and Mark. With all of the things to worry about while remotely building a house in Florida, we never, not for one minute, ever questioned how beautiful and functional our house would be. And yes, their entire operation was extremely professional. We shared emails and phone calls regularly, and any concerns or questions we had were very quickly addressed. Michelle would invoice us via email with a payment link that was very easy to use but only after all were in agreement with selections, materials, installation, delivery date, etc. We would highly recommend The Mansfield's and Beach Haus Interiors. I promise you that you'll have a wonderful interior decorating experience. If you want to stop by and see what Beach Haus has done for our little house, we'd be more than happy to share that with you. Sincerely, Bob and Maria Brotzki
