Unique items that are both beautiful and useful, and not the same-old selection found at the usual "coastal" Carolina gift shops. Love that they are open until 9pm, a rare find in small town shops it seems (as if no one wants to shop after dinner? I'll never get it). Only two downsides: pricing is a bit all over the map, even for a boutique store. Most items are reasonably priced, but some seem a high ($150 for a pair of salt and pepper shakers) and they don't take American Express. To make the matter worse, after asking me if I had another payment method the clerk told me to "call American Express and let them know their merchant fees are too high" and that a "small business can't afford to take Amex". Talk about poor customer service! This really left me with a sour taste, especially considering that Amex merchant fees are only 1-2% higher than Visa or MasterCard. Going to have to call "BS" that the margins on the products at a boutique decor store don't allow for an additional 1-2% cost. Either way, very unprofessional of the clerk.

Signs posted around the areas assume everyone is a shop lifter and not willing to pay fair prices. Really negative. Outside stuff is mostly trashed.

I was able to find 4 beachy placemats for my kitchen table. Then, my friend was able to put together a simple, but cute, center piece, involving a small, clear plate, a white candle, and blue and white beach shells from a bucket. The whole centerpiece cost me about $7. Definitely stop on by if you have the time!

Hi Everyone, I'm going outside my normal motif of providing a well balanced review of service for…read moreprice, aligned to product quality... while level setting your expectation on the restaurants I visit. I have had such a incredibly unique experience with Family Furnature in Cape Carteret NC I felt compelled to share and go outside my norm. I am furnishing an entire house near Cape Carteret, so I am watching my spend for quality and service to an entirely different level than eating out. One area that is driving into our costs is the house furnishing. I shopped around different furnature places and have found some fantastic local companies. One business has stood out though, Family Furnature. These folks really have a very nice and unique selection of furnature, and have gone out of their way to accommodate us. We started out with a simple purchase which they agreed to hold in storage for free. Then they offered us free financing, "just pay us when you can" between now and when you move in. I'm like ... "say what??" So I cranked up the ask and said I need six beds, will you give me the same deal to hold the furnature for free, with no financing. They said yes, and also gave us a 20% discount on the beds. We have since then bought several other pieces, of which they gave us exceptional deals and free hold with no finance fees. It's almost to good to be true...except Dori and I are living it. I found talking to some of the other customers, they were repeat customers and had the same experience. ... I thought Don, Rose and Keith had made Dori and I special deals just because we were buying a lot of items... not true, they treat everyone the same. As far as experience I would have to say the one bad review Family has received, needs to be thrown out as not being relevant. Look at statistical rules of population and data relevance. You'll see anything less than seven data points can't be used as a valid determination of a relevant pattern. I almost question if of both sides of the story been heard and are truly represented. Bottom line this place has saved me thousands of dollars, treated me well beyond fair and it's genuinely just a nice place to do business with, so I highly recommend if you are looking for a new bed or furnature go in and determine for yourself.
