They have a lot of coastal decor, sections for children's and plus-size clothing, and all types of gift items. The staff was helpful without being intrusive and the prices on everything was VERY reasonable. Additionally, the items I bought today were on sale and they took the amount that was discounted and allowed me to pick a local charity which they donated that amount to. They've even received a plaque from the BCSO for their charitable work. Shopping for cute items and doing good for charities at the same time - it's a win/win.

Just like its name, it's a charming store with a wide variety of women's clothing, and home decor items, including farmhouse chic, beachy, and traditional. Staff are attentive and welcoming but not intrusive. The displays are enchanting, often renewed, and I love to visit just to relax and explore what they are selling. It's a tranquil place and I always find something special there. Their selection of artificial flowers are excellent quality and look amazingly real. I kept having to touch them to confirm they weren't! I learned that the staff will also create custom arrangements or wreaths by request. Their clothing is "boutique" style, and fairly priced. I was pleased to see they have a wide variety of sizes and unlike similar stores (ex., J Huffman) they have a good selection of plus sizes too. if you're looking for cute decor or unique women's clothing, stop by The Southern Charm Company.

I went in the next day to return and it was not the same nice lady at the counter who assisted me. I had the wrong receipt in the bag so she would not allow me to exchange. She was very annoyed. As many cameras as you have in this shop you can see I purchased the earrings the previous day. I will not be purchasing from this store again. My family and I can spend our money at other stores.

Mermaid Cove Boutique is an absolute delight.

It is a treasure trove of upscale beach decor, women's clothing, accessories and gifts. The shop is bright and cheery and merchandised spectacularly. Your eyes can't take it all in and you feel the need to explore every nook and cranny of this boutique. There are many areas within this shop for jewelry, handbags, shoes, dish towels, beach tees, clothing, soaps, hand creams, placards and signs and so much more. I personally bought really cute sneakers, a soft Ocean Isle Beach sweatshirt and a bright fuchsia top. There were other things I wanted, but I just had to stop myself. The Mermaid Cove Boutique was so much that I was getting carried away. It's such a happy place. Go see for yourself. There are two other Mermaid Cove Boutiques. Check out their other stores in Oak Island and Surf City. Enjoy!

My recommendation - check out this place in the offseason while they're still open. The shop itself is quite cozy, and beach apparel and accessories fill every nook and cranny. If the small parking lot looks full, be prepared for a cramped interior and long lines at the register. Service is efficient and helpful, which moves that register line along quickly. If you're visiting, this is a great spot to support local business, and score a 2022 Kemp's Ridley turtle watch shirt.
