It's a nice spot to pop in and get a gift for a lady friend or maybe a little something for yourself. The store does skew female, so be aware that there isn't a ton for men. They do have some cool socks for men, but that's all I saw. My girlfriend ended up buying a ring and a dish towel that says "I love you to the fridge and back". This isn't a traditional souvenir store, so don't expect cheap Sarasota items if you're a tourist.

While we never did see any Vineyard Vines clothing (not to say it isn't in there) we did see similar styles and immediately gravitated towards the bright and fun colors of some Southern Tide swim trunks. Aside from men's clothing, Island Pursuit also has styles for women and for kids. Everything seemed to be colorful and fun and in the theme of coastal, nautical and resort ware. Being familiar with many of the brands they carry, like Toad & Co and Tommy Bahama, I know they specialize in higher-end, quality styles.

The second rude, disrespectful waste of breath said "she looks like me when I was little, I was fat too". I was speechless and just left the store.

I'm SO glad we teach our kids to appreciate people for who they are, not what they are.

This place is SO OVERPRICED for what the product is worth.

I ask if there's a military discount and was told she will deduct from the total price. I highly recommend seeing the wonderful items being sold at Sahara.

(situation-waiting for an emergency instacart deliver- charging bank) I walked in from the beach side and the guests were a turn off because I was interrupting their experience. The bartender seemingly a seasoned gentleman who appeared to hate his job so much that he could not even smile or look in my direction as he had a total of maybe six people at the bar. He did point me to the front desk after he spoke the words just go to the front and they'll help you. I came in from side entrance, carrying my bag in my clothes. Which should've given it away... At least he pointed me in the right direction. I guess. I made it to the front desk where Gillian and (Justin -maybe- he was quite but seemed to be accommodating) let me use a charger for my phone and offered me the option to sit at the bar and she would come find me when the Instacart driver arrived. Also, she pointed me towards the front entrance as I came in Beach side, apparently. I am grateful that she was spot on as driver did show up exactly where she thought! My overall feel is probably skewed because there was some kind of occasion that people were in the lobby being photographed and having fun! I was surprised at how artistic and upscale the interior of this hotel was that I didn't even realize a hotel all of these years! I've driven a bazillion times and never knew there was this hidden jam of a place there is right in plain sight on Lido Beach! I am still gonna give it five Maybe the bartender is having a bad week or day... It is , and if people in the industry do not save up during the plentiful times it can be quite trying. Especially with the cost of living in general that have skyrocketed in the past few years. It is making it almost impossible for us folk to be here to serve people.
