One of my rare 5-Stars and justifiably so, I'd say…read more This little island store is owned and operated by some of the nicest folks one could ever hope to meet. It's kind of a country store operation, with seafood and wine. The wine selection is way out beyond anything you'd expect from a "convenience store," and they have all the mixers and whatnot you'd ever need and there's an ABC store (liquor store, as we call them here in NC), right next door. This place is like an island vacationer's "kid in a candy store" experience, with everything from fresh-caught local seafood (bought the grouper, it was fantastically fresh), to fishing tackle, wines, groceries in surprisingly plentiful and varied abundance, beach stuff, shirts and hats, down to marine supplies like fishing/depth charts, tide charts, you name it. They also have every sort of fish bait one could want. The star of this show is the family who runs it, the Sheffields. Outstanding customer service and recognition and they easily earned all five of my stars. Gas up, load up, get your feed bag on, all in one spot: Sheffield's. TIP: This place can be reached by either car or boat since it's on one of the channels off the Intracoastal Waterway, and sits on the same spit of land that contains the public boat launch. Totally convenient.

On my many trips into Ocean Isle Beach, I have made Sheffield's a stop on many occasions. It is the…read morequick or emergency "go-to" place (convenience/gas) on the island, just at the end of the Odell Williamson Bridge as you come in from the mainland over the Intercostal Waterway. If you are looking to make big grocery store trips to get a big bunch of food or supplies for the week, you probably are going to head to the Lowes Foods right back over the bridge or the Food Lions near Sunset Beach or Shallotte. But for quick things, a few food items or convenience store things, beer, etc. then Sheffield's fits the bill. A huge walk in beer cooler, always nice especially when it is so hot outside! There is a small seafood shop in the back as well. Quick ice stop here is probably the main reason we see it so much. Very nice people working, great location, and handy items make Sheffield's one place you will probably visit many times if you make it out to OIB anytime for a vacation.

I was kind of hungry since coming off the sunset night cruise that only had a bar and popcorn! I didn't feel like hanging in a restaurant at 9pm so I walked around town taking pictures. Driving out, I passed this familiar market! It's 11pm that I'm here and I think it stays open til midnight. It's basically a smoke shop but it has ice cream sandwiches, turkey sandwiches, chips and I even got a pack of cough drops! Thx village market- you're a gem.

The store likely caters to those that live in the downtown area and the college students. But it is great as a tourist too. The store was very clean and the service was super friendly. I will be returning the next time I am in town.

There seems to be plenty of parking. I'll be back.

I was going to give this place 3 stars, but it deserves an extra one for the great location! There are a few parking spots, but most of the patrons walk here. You know those coolers on wheels? Here's a great way to use one - roll on over to pick up a few cold ones and then roll on out to the beach!

I and a friend, both 60 year old, white, blonde women stopped at Circle K to get cigarettes and were refused by the black manager Erica.

So my friend tried to buy them and again she refused stating it was a 3rd party sale...??? Are you kidding me? I really thought she was kidding, but she wasn't. We tried to present our argument regarding age, but she just smirked and went about her business. I can't get over the pettiness and rudeness. So instead we went to Doodles and had no problems. Highly recommend Doodles for all your purchases! Support local businesses. I learned my lesson. The NC law Under N.C. Gen. Stat. 14-313, selling tobacco products, including e-cigarettes and vaping devices, to individuals under 21 is prohibited. Retailers are required to verify the age of purchasers through government-issued identification, checking IDs for anyone appearing under 30 to ensure compliance.
