Omg! What a little slice of heaven! I was visiting Pentwater for the weekend and happened to come…read moreacross this place. First of all, the owner was super rad, and we talked for probably about an hour. She was super personable and told me about how she came to open the store. Her dog, a gorgeous black Lab named Zoe, kept coming up for love rubs and giving me her toys. The store was curated with such great finds. Lots of cool, pristine, vintage finds and some new home decor thrown in as well. It was the best of both worlds. She certainly has an eye for design flair (I guess she also helps with interior design). I loved the mid century sofa she had on display- it was in perfect condition and a great price. There is a candle- just one candle - that smells amazzinng. It's their "signature" Pentwater scent. Just walk into the store, and you'll be like "what is that?!" Yeah; two of those came home with me. I ended up piling stuff on the counter and then mentioned I didn't know how I was going to pack it all in my luggage. She took the time to wrap everything well and put some things in boxes to protect it during my trip back to Cali. I love supporting independent, local businesses mostly because I own one myself. I know what it takes to make something like this work, and it's not easy. I give props to the owner for creating such an inviting and cute boutique where customer service is obviously the main staple of the business. I caught a negative review on here, which shocked me. I'm kinda calling BS. The owner was super cool with me- like we should go get beers cool! Please stop by and support cool places like this!

This store has many of us in a chokehold with the one signature candle scent they offer. It is…read moreindeed a very beautiful scent. HOWEVER, let it be known...I'm not sure I have ever been in a more bizarrely unwelcoming and aggressively hostile shop. I have traveled all over the world...and certainly all over Michigan...and no shop has ever had more security cameras, rules posted, and snarky, rude negative employees. It is so off-putting I do my best to avoid it. For a tourist village, this shop is actively making it known they don't care about welcoming customers and they are clearly maniacally paranoid. Enter at your own risk. Are the candles pleasant? Yes. But it's not worth the experience you are forced to go through to make a purchase.

The theater is adorable, and there is a cool ship in the corner with which to take pictures. All of the staff were quite friendly and there's a nice variety of toys and books to choose from, including books that are locally based on Michigan stories and legends. My only regret is that I wish I found this place when the kids were younger. But this is a great store for everyone young and heart. Definitely worth a visit!

You gotta like a store that sells VHS, cassette tapes and records, among other things. Every time I…read moresee a store that has VHS tapes, I have to stop because maybe, just maybe, I'll find a copy of the documentary "1991: The Year Punk Broke." I used to own it and then I lost it during a move, and I've been looking for it ever since. I don't even know what I'd do with it if I did find it because I don't have a VCR anymore. But I guess it would just be nice to hold it in my hands after all these years. Anyway, Vintage Nutz did not have that classic Sonic Youth/Nirvana documentary. But they did have lots of vinyl, tapes, CDs, 8-tracks, toys, t-shirts and other nostalgic paraphernalia. It's a small store, but they have lots of stuff and it was busy on the day that I popped in.
