I worked with the owner, I think her name was Jeanette, on ordering a chair hammock. My friend and I first visited the store when we were on a trip to Saint Augustine. I sat in one of the chair hammocks and was so comfortable. I didn't wanna leave. I took her card and called her a month or so later, and ordered a hammock from her. I was stressed out because I was trying to make sure that I chose the same hammock that I was sitting in when I was in her store and she was incredibly kind and assuring me that if it wasn't the right one, she would be happy to replace it. She even shipped it for free, which was mine blowing to me, and it came super fast! I would use her again and recommend her in a heartbeat! read more

Old City Hammocks was the best. Jeannette was always incredibly friendly and made my gf and I feel like family. This place will be missed

This shop is in the St. George courtyard area. This is a wonderful shop. We did not make a purchase, but it does not mean I did not want to buy the store out. They had wind chimes(very well made chime), kites, beach/camping bleats, to hammocks. Traveling type hammocks to more permanent hammocks. We had a great rapport with the lady working here. There were so many brightly colored hammocks. Great shop! Check them out! read more

Drove down from JAX just to go to this shop. NOT OPEN!!! Got there on a Sunday at 4:50 pm. CLOSED... NOT NICE!

This was our favorite store in St. Augustine, so friendly and helpful. We didn't have enough room to bring our kites from Illinois. Jeanette helped us find a travel kite that folds up small enough to fit in my purse! We used it our last night on the beach. We got it flying right away. It has beautiful color, a tail and strong enough to fly in 20 mph winds. Check out the fort and you may see one of their kits flying high! This will become a staple in our beach bag for years to come. read more

This is a little hidden gem, tucked into an outdoor mall corridor. The owner is so nice and helpful. You may find the prices a bit shocking, but the warranty is worth it.

What an adorable and well-inventoried shop with the sweetest and friendliest owner, Jeanette. The shop is filled with beautiful, quality hammocks, kites, adorable bags, and more!

It was easy to give the store five stars. The owner has a wonderful personality and former teacher who is very informative on her products. The selection of hammocks and other accessories is outstanding with very fair prices. I only wish that she had her store in Fort Myers but I can do more business with her online. read more

My family and I are based in central Florida so we frequent St. Augustine several times a year because it's our favorite place to hang out and shop and just have a really nice time. My husband and I always come here with our two best friends and we always have made it a point to come into this little corner shop to admire the high quality hammocks and dream of having a space to own one someday. Very recently we decided to all move in together and finally made the decision to purchase a hammock for our shared home, we split it four ways and are so incredibly excited to set it up! Jeanette was an absolute treasure, she was so helpful and answered all of our questions. She was immensely friendly and kind, even going the extra mile in giving my 2 year old a snack! We had such a lovely time talking to her I never thought purchasing a hammock could be such a great experience. It made such an impression on everyone we will be sure to make the drive for all of our hammock needs and we'll certainly pop in to say hello every time we visit! read more

This place is so cool! Great Selection of kites. Huge selection of hammocks and other wind related items. Got the grand Trunk Hammock and a couple of Prism kites while here. Owner was super helpful! Prices were really good. read more

Curiosity drew us in and colorful artwork captured our enthusiasm. Jeanette, the owner, became a person we considered to be an instant friend. Very personable, but not overbearing. So helpful and generous. We are drawn to her a Haitian metal art. I own several pieces and will most likely add to my collection in the near future. The ones I have are proudly displayed on my front porch. Thank you, Jeanette! read more

Old City Hammocks - Storefront - Gift Shops Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

A shop full of surprisingly affordable hammocks, bags, and other ideal gifts. Wish I had discovered it closer to the holidays - could've easily found something original for almost everyone. I had to grab a card so I'd remember to return. Every item is more beautifully colorful than the last and obviously made with care. Exceptionally kind owner was present. Don't miss this one. read more

Visiting St. Augustine a few weeks ago. While my son and I were soaking up the sun in the courtyard my husband found this cute wonderful shop and insisted we come in to take a look at a hammock. Although the shop was well stocked with fun outdoors items, I was too impulsive and felt we didn't need a hammock . After returning home, though, I thought what a great anniversary gift the hammock would make for him. I contacted the store and Jeanette (owner) could not have been more helpful. We exchanged a number of texts and phone calls along the way. As I am waiting for the hammock to arrive, all I can say is that Jeanette provided exceptional customer service and I appreciate her patience and flexibility! read more

I bought a hammock here several months ago and waited to post a review because I wanted to wait until the worst of the pandemic was over... I bought from this small business out of support for mom and pop stores and home town pride. Had I known what would come out of it, I definitely would have gone elsewhere or even to Amazon, which sells the identical La Siesta brand hammock for less. However to me it was not about saving $50, it was about trying to support the local economy and instead I wound up with a disgraceful experience. As the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished. We live about an hour away and have been to this store a few times in the past. The store is super adorable with plenty of goodies (both hammocks and generally fun stuff your home/outdoors). The colors are vibrant, the feel is beachy x 100. When we decided to buy a hammock this store popped into our minds immediately. Five stars for initial impression! The guy who waited on us seemed to know his inventory. We wanted a hammock for the back of our boat and he highly recommended one particular fabric. It felt scratchy to me and since I would be wearing shorts/ bathing suits most of the summer when I used it I was questioning the comfort. The guy swore up and down, left and right that of the hammock was washed a few times it would become softer. I asked if he would take it back if It didn't. Oh yes, oh yes he replied. It was not store policy to do so but in this case he would make an exception. Fine, so we paid several hundred dollars + for the hammock. I washed that hammock at least 8 times in the next two weeks. Tide, Downy, no Downy, you name it. hung it to dry in the sun... it felt a lot softer when wet but when dry, it returned to the original scratchy feel. Less than a month after we bought it I brought it back. As soon as we walked through the door the same guy who sold it to us went from "beachy" to "bit...y" in less than 12 parsecs. He was cutting and downright nasty. He literally said that he should not have sold it to us because he knew we would be returning it, and was fuming because he could not sell a used hammock. Hey Buddy, I'm buying your product, not your problems. You insisted it would become softer or I could return it. NOW you get mad at US? In short he was friendly as a puppy when we wanted to give him money and nasty as a snake when he had to honor HIS side of the agreement. We didn't even want our money refunded - just a swap for a different hammock. He STILL literally whined about how I was the only person in the history of the store (and he repeatedly said how he sold thousands of them... yawn) who ever complained the hammock was scratchy. He kept saying how he could not re-sell a used hammock but admitted he could use it as a demo. You think this would have solved his problem, right? Wrong. He actually sounded more irritated after he admitted he had a use for it. It was fascinating. I tried to defuse the downward spiral the interaction was taking by making a self deprecating joke about how I could also feel a pea under my mattress at home. Did it work? Nope! It just gave him one more nasty thing to say about me. Hey, relax, it was a joke. I wanted to avoid posting a negative review during the height of the pandemic when so many retail stores were struggling. But the last thing I wanted to do was for me to become the target of his verbal attack and be bullied or shamed or otherwise shot down because HE agreed to a return and then decided to use me as his emotional piñata when HE went back on his gentleman's agreement. I don't want this to happen to anyone else! Luckily the shop is in a high traffic tourist area so reliance on repeat customers is not a major focus. That being said, we won't be back and do not encourage rewarding such immature and inappropriate behavior by recommending this place to anyone else. There are other places to buy hammocks and I bet they won't make you feel bad. read more

Love this place and its owner, what a beauty of merchandise they have for sale, of very good quality and very beautiful. As soon as I passed in front of the store, I fell in love with a mobile with a really beautiful Static Globe. I immediately went in to buy it, I wanted it in my house. The best of the experience was meeting its owner, she gives off a very special light, it is easy to observe the beautiful spirit that surrounds the store and its owner. Thank you very much for the kind attention you gave me and my whole family. Blessings and much success! If you go for a walk to San Agustín, you cannot miss The Old City Hammocks and enjoy the kind attention and beauty of its merchandise. 100% recommended. read more

What a wonderful store. They sell so much more than hammocks. The very sweet young lady that was operating the business was very helpful and kind. We purchase some wall art that benefited people in Haiti. What a kind and gentle heart she has. She took very good care of us and we will always come back here if we need anything. read more

This little store is Big in Service, Quality and specially Service. The owner Jeanette is a class "A". She is the most helpful, personable, friendliest person I have ever met in a store setting like this. She go's above and beyond for her customers and she really looks out for Veterans. The selections are plentiful and the comfort is very relaxing. I received a Caribbean Rope Hammock as a special gift from the store which " blew me away :) " It feels amazing. It's soooo comfortable and relaxing that I fell asleep in it twice already. The fit is perfect for my stand and it is strong enough to hold two adults. It's hand woven and made of 100% Soft Spun Polyester, which means I can keep it outside without it mildewing or rotting out. The scorching Florida Sun doesn't fade it or effect it either. I am so loving my Hammock that I know I will be back in the store to purchase some other things that I had my eye on. Thank you Jeanette for being the best and having an outstanding store!! Two thumbs up :) read more

We've been visiting this store for over a year trying to decide which hammock was right for us. We have several ENOs in our family but we wanted a nice hammock for our lanai during cooler weather. We wanted something that we could easily put away when too hot to enjoy. Finally yesterday we decided on the perfect hammock and stand. We got it home and set up in 10 minutes (seriously 10 min) to enjoy. The owners are so helpful in answering questions and providing options and setting expectations. You won't find this level of customer service at big boxed stores. We are very happy with our purchase! read more

The owner was so friendly & very helpful. Walked in to look around and ended up purchasing a hammock. Has lots of variety of hammocks

This shop is amazing, especially for kite enthusiasts. I went on vacation to St. Augustine in November of '21 during their light festival. This was the first shop I visited as she opened. "Disclaimer" these are hand kites. I bought a Prism 170 from her and then a Sport kite 1.3 Symphony. I promised her I would fly both kites and write a review. The Prism 170 flies like my Cabrinha 10M Kitesurfing Kite in every aspect, I'm 5'9 150lbs. The Sport kite 1.3 Aqua flies very similar albeit with a little less control but def. worth the price. This seller is 1337, Elite. If you like kites and Hammocks, this is who you should buy it from. read more

Great selection of Hammocks and Kites. They also stock Neso Canopies. Prices are great as well. We ended up buying a new Neso Gigante Canopy, some metal decor items, and a new kite for my collection. The owner is one of the kindest and friendliest people I have ever met. We had a great conversation while we were in the store, and she gave my boys a gift, and gave me a donation for our local boy scout troop. Great selection, fair prices, great owner. Old City Hammocks is a home run. Make sure you stop in and visit Jeanette's beautiful shop. Tell her Piete the pilot from VA says hello, and his boys and boy scouts say THANKS for the gifts! We will be back on our next visit to St. Augustine. read more

We went in today just to browse. I've been wanting a hammock for awhile, but never really know exactly what I want. The owner was so knowledgeable and helpful. He helped me decide on a hammock chair made of organic cotton (so soft and comfy), and my husband got a huge matching hammock. The shop had a sale going on, and I felt the prices were quite reasonable for the quality. It's a small shop, but it's stuffed full of hammock options. The service was fantastic. I would highly recommend this shop! read more
