They drive down the beach from time to time if you need help or want something extra. Or you can call and they're there within 10minutes or less. I highly recommend using them for your beach vacation whether it's for a day or longer. They're always nice and accommodating. Thank you for making our family vacations that much easier!

I've used this company for the past six years to rent two umbrellas and four chairs for a week. I…read morewas happy with the service most years. This year I paid nearly $300, but they failed to deliver them on 3 out of 5 days. I had to call and track down the owners each morning just to get the equipment I'd already paid for. I'll be using another company next year. Do not recommend.

These people are great to do business with.

While waiting, I was intrigued with the inventory of bikes in the showroom. Someone explained the pros and cons of different models without pressuring me in any way. I went home, did my research, and came to the same recommendation that they had made for me. The next day I purchased a new Trek Verve 2 and after about 10 miles and a few adjustments, I absolutely love it.

The prices were fair, and everything felt well-made instead of cheap tourist merchandise. It was also a nice bonus that the pier is free to walk, so we were able to enjoy the views before shopping. If you're looking for beach souvenirs that you'll actually want to keep, this is the place to go!

We were meeting some friends for the weekend to do some fishing on a different pier. The Airbnb we…read morehad was right around the corner from this pure though so this is where they met us. It cost two or $3 to go out on the pier Even if you're not going to fish. The lady in the store that you go through to get to the pier take your money. She was nice enough not to charge us since we were just going out to meet our friends and then leave. There's not a lot to say. It's a fishing pier. It is rather long though which is nice. Five stars.

Avoid this place at all costs! The owners who run this place are absolute douchebags, for lack of a…read morebetter word(s). We were eating at the restaurant next door for a 50th anniversary dinner when someone came to our table and notified us that three cars had to be moved. One of them was said to belong to our family, so they went outside and moved it to a different spot. Later, we came outside and saw that a different one of our cars was about to be towed--no warning, nothing. As we went to move the car before it was towed, a man, probably in his late 30s, started yelling at a high school-aged kid, asking why he thought they could park there. (There were no signs in the parking lot saying where you could or couldn't park, and when you park next to another car, you don't think anything of it.) After moving the vehicle to avoid from being towed, our whole family started getting yelled at by three employees from this establishment, saying we had to pay the tow truck driver because they had called him on us. (No way in hell that's happening.) On top of all this, the owners put up caution tape (to try to resemble parking spot boundaries) after we had already parked and gone into the restaurant next door, making it look like we weren't allowed to park there. They claimed, "You guys have been blocking traffic for 2.5 hours," even though there was a driveway wide enough for three cars right next to us for people to enter and exit the parking lot! Come to find out, the owners do stuff like this often, probably because they're butt hurt that the place next door fills most of the shared parking. To hear that you guys do this often is honestly sad. If you can't handle the realities of running a business, then you shouldn't have one at all. These people need a serious reality check, and I hope they get one soon. Definitely check out the place next door, Island Way, though--they have great service, great owners, and great food!
