I came in this store on the evening of November 11, around 5pm. The store was organized and clean…read more I was greeted by Debra, who immediately asked about my swim needs. I told her that I was going to Hawaii and needed a simple, classic black swimsuit. She immediately took me to prints. I said that black was what I wanted, so she took me to black. I also said that I was a fan of Bleu|Rod Beattie (sp?) because I had previously purchased a few suits from that line at Swim 'n Sport. Instead of letting me browse, Debra kept inserting her suggestions into my line of view. Some I liked, some I didn't. She continued to take me to the printed suits. I continued to say they weren't my taste. This was starting to get annoying. I finally chose a print to appease her. When I started in the fitting room, I knew immediately which suits were and were not right. With a suit on, I called to her and asked if there was a bottom that fit a bit higher. The other salesclerk (who was standing behind the counter) said I needed to come out to show them what I was wearing. I refused. (Mind you, she wanted me to walk out of the dressing room where I would be exposed to ANYONE walking past outside the store whilst clad in a bikini that was unflattering). She insisted. Again, I refused. At this point, she was annoyed. Needless to say, at this point I was annoyed as well. I tried on a few pieces and all the while Debra continued to show me pieces that I had already browsed (and politely refused). She never truly LISTENED to me and was obviously trying to upsell me at every turn. THIS MADE ME VERY IRRITATED. ***Because they have a no return policy on swimwear, I began to feel like she wanted me to make impulse purchases on pieces that weren't really my style.*** In the end, there was a suit that I very much liked from Skye, but honestly, I just didn't want to purchase anything from this store. The experience was so unpleasant that I decided to go online and purchase the same suit elsewhere.

Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner. Coffee, bars, desserts, and other sweets. Healthy eats, shopping, and the beach. You'll have easy access to so many options. The biggest challenge is deciding where to go. The second is the parking. There are paid spots across several blocks, and some restaurants have valet. Definitely one of my most favorite areas.

They also have a few stores to shop in as well. Have fun and be safe.

It is dotted with locally owned shops & boutiques and a few big anchors like Publix and CVS. It starting a redevelopment project in 2013 and I like the idea of where it's trying to go. I've had jewelry repairs done at Village Jeweler. I've eaten breakfast at Elizabeth's. And I've gotten a couple of manicures at Sawgrass Nails. It's got a variety of shops, but it definitely could use some fresh places. I just hope they can refill the shops and give me options to support locally in my own neighborhood rather than having to - goodness forbid - cross the ditch! Even a quick service chain like Panera would be nice for this end of the beach; I'll guess we'll have to wait and see.

I am sure there may have been more on there than I am remembering. It was black beans and rice, wonderful avocado, lots of fresh cilantro, and protein of choice. I chose grilled shrimp-Marty chose chicken. These were served in compostable dishes. Everything was delicious. The only thing we noted is while our meat tasted great-it was barely warm. Maybe that is the norm? It was cooked-no doubt there and very tasty. I would go back. The place is very clean and because of the art murals and plants you get that outside kind of feel.

My fav thing about Crave...you know all those great labels you see in magazines, but can never find? So many of them under one roof! There was a huge selection of William Rast, James, Siwy, Prvcy, Genetic & more. There was a really great mix of both trendy & casual pieces, sexy cocktail dresses by BCBG, classic separates, and the best selection (& prices!) of Gypsy 05 I've seen outside of LA. This was my first experience in a boutique where, instead of being marginally acknowledged by the staff, I felt like I had a personal shopper instead. The owner, Robin, helped me find two amazing pairs of jeans based on my body type & style (William Rast's Bella Flare and Prvcy dark-wash skinny jeans). I even got my wedding dress here ;) I found a beautiful BCBG fitted white halter dress for our impromptu beach ceremony - it looks gorgeous in the photos, and the best part is, I can wear it again, dress it up, dress it down.... And I picked up a great Sir Alistair Rai scarf that is going to carry me into fall. I totally agree with Cari S's review...the jewelry was to die for. By Boe, Melinda Maria, Alex & Ani, and some fantastic pieces by a NYC designer under the label Boheme. Even my husband, who generally doesn't enjoy shopping, found some great pieces for himself a couple of great English Laundry shirts & some- the men's wear is really thoughtfully chosen IMO - cool and unique, but not over-the-top trendy. And there was a great "small" gifts section with candles, perfume, soaps, etc. Overall, amazing selection - have already marked some pieces for fall to order online!
