YES. From the minute we walked in, even though I had already been a regular at sea hive I was overcome with amazing human interactions. Cookies & love for my pups as well as making sure we came in welcomed & felt like we had friends helping us navigate.

Sea Hive - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Oceanside, California

Whenever I'm in the area, I always make a point to stop here. This is a huge shopping area with lots of vendors inside, each with their own shop. You'll find everything from vintage clothing, furniture, housewares, jewelry, tea, greeting cards. I'm sure there's something for everyone here! Folks have complained about being followed or heavily scrutinized inside. I could see why people might say that, it is a huge space and I'm sure they're trying to deter would be shoplifters. Some of the merchants inside are reasonably priced, others are a little bit more pricey. However, overall, I find that there are much better value than some of the boutiques that line the sidewalks in Oceanside or Carlsbad for instance. I ended up with a couple of air plants, nearly bought a beaded carpet bag type thing, but decided that I don't know when I would use it. They have two other locations in San Diego. Would definitely check them out if I was in the area. read more

Accessibility: there is a large parking lot with plenty of space. It is located on flat ground, wheelchair accessible. They do have a restroom inside, but im not sure if that is wheelchair accessible. There is a changing room/dressing room inside (see photo). Experience: such an awesome place! They have something of everything! Clothing, hats, jewelry, cards, trinkets, antiques, furniture, candles, oils, soaps, lamps, home goods, notebooks, records, crystals, everything! I could spend 2 hours looking at everything, but unfortunately I didn't have that time today. I'll have to come back soon! The female employees are all so sweet. read more

Looooove this place! Beautifully curated and I never leave empty handed. Can't wait to check out their San Diego location soon. 10 stars!

This place is a cornucopia of vintage and crafted stuff. A very interesting time browsing and reminiscing about things you remember from your childhood. Didn't end up buying anything but had fun visiting. read more

The vendors and their booths were fine but the problem were the workers. Constantly following you around like you're going to steal and their attitude was snarky and backhanded. When browsing I was being watched at all times a felt pressured into buying something and was even TOLD to by something I didn't want. Checking out was just as bad as the lady checking me out wouldn't even talk to me and when I tried to excuse a mistake I made when paying she gave me a dirty look. Honestly this place would be so nice and I'd com here again if it weren't for the staff. read more

Never in my life have I ever been closely followed around by an employee throughout the entire store. My daughter and I were simply browsing, and she bought a small $11.50 item. I guess this lady thought we were going to steal it. She was beyond obvious and funny if she thought we didn't notice. She definitely deterred me from wanting to buy anything. Good thing this marketplace wasn't as great as I had hoped, because we for sure won't be back. Your loss! read more

You need some time to browse and shop at Sea Hive, we did put some time aside knowing that it's a big vintage market with lots of vendors, merchandise to check out. They do have a lot of everything: clothes, furniture, home decor, books, vinyl, jewelry, trinkets and so on. Mostly in pretty good condition, some on the new-ish side. Pretty good customer service, but the drawback for us was the higher prices, hard to score a deal here. But if you are in O'side and enjoy vintage merch, Sea Hive is worth a visit! read more

Meh, I went in looking for treasures and actual 100 yo antique furniture, but too much of what they have is new or recently used merchandise. Too many useless tchotchkes. The one piece of furniture I wanted to purchase had no price tag, and they had no way of contacting the booth owner in a timely fashion. They left a vm but I couldn't just stand there indefinitely waiting. I would've bought it on the spot. Oh well. There's always more treasure to be found elsewhere. Seems popular among the gen z and hipster crowd. Not my vibe. read more

Love it!! Great customer service, can be there all day just looking at everything amazing they have

This is my favorite seahive location. They always have a great selection of good here. Customer service is always good and the place is nice and big.. you don't feel overwhelmed even though there's so many things to look at. If you are looking for something vintage and special, you've come to the right place! read more

So many great finds! Love getting a coffee next door and than browsing for a new piece to hang on my art wall or wardrobe. So many incredible vintage pieces for photoshoot styling as well. I also love coming here for gifts as more booths are growing with those items and they have a large selection of greeting cards in the front. It's easy to spend a good amount of time in here and kind of impossible to leave empty handed. read more

The place is well-organized and clean, and if you like the kind of stuff they have, it's worth checking out. I feel like it has changed and now there's minimal antiques and men's stuff, with more of a focus on women's clothing, jewelry, and newer stuff. Not for me but it may be for you. read more

I was already a fan of the smaller Sea Hive mall location in San Diego so I knew I wanted to stop by the larger store next time I was in Oside. I'm glad I did- I loved browsing the variety of treasures in this store! They have multiple rooms filled with treasures separated by different booths. Everything from fashion to home goods. The also had some non-antique crafted items from local sellers. I look forward to returning again to see what I find next! read more

So overpriced. It's cute and a good idea but some of the vendors are taking advantage of the trend. I wish i had gone to a thrift or vintage store instead but unfortunately i fell for it. Bought this tray for $28 and then found a tag for it for what the vendor paid for... $7. I understand finders fees but that's ridiculous. read more

Seahive is a gem of a vintage marketplace that's much bigger on the inside than it looks. It has countless well-curated booths filled with cool items, vintage pieces, and unique treasures. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to explore because there's a lot to see. For a lot of the booths, prices are on the higher side, so don't expect thrift store bargains, and keep an eye out for seasonal sales! But if you go hunting, you're sure to find some really cool stuff. read more

Selling this stuff at retail price is a bit odd at a store like this, but to sell above retail is just plain gross. Oh, no returns or exchanges either. read more

I was staying in the paradise coach park next door when I discovered the sea hive. It was full of vintage, items and some antiques. Vendors each had a space they filled with unique items. The front of the store was more organized than the back but still like a treasure hunt and surprise package. I never left empty handed. I dropped in today to see what was offered and was pleased to see more vendors and more organized stalls. The back area looked amazing and inviting. I had plenty of second looks and took home a lovely tasting chai tea and three cast iron hooks. This place is worth the stop even if you don't find your treasure you might find a gift for someone else. read more

Prices were very high and staff was not very helpful. Two pf the staff followed us around the store and made the shopping experience very uncomfortable and annoying read more

Place was really big and had a lot of options . Of course the prices are a bit high but the selections are nice . However this places needs retraining on how to be corteuos and make people feel comfortable. When we walked in we were not greeted by a single person which is not required at all , ( I have 0 preference between a very interactive shopping experience or a very dead one) , but what followed afterwards feels absolutely targeted . Pretty much 5 minutes into the experience I noticed me and my partner were being followed, which would be so different if they were saying hello/making conversation or trying to help . They were simply just staring and walking by, a multitude of employees . It felt suffocating and rude . They should hire security people instead of this creating overwhelming feeling towards many customers, it seems I'm not the first to experience this based on the reviews . Hope they can change this aspect of their business. read more

Beautiful selection and friendly staff. Would spend hours if I had it!! Definitely take a look!

I can't get enough of sea hive. It's a local spot that's walking distance from my house. I probably should walk there because it would make me stop buying things and putting them in my car if I had to carry it back I would think twice about buying.... Every time I visit those new items. It's pretty incredible from the vintage items to the keychains made of license plates to the greeting cards to the record shop to the blue jeans shop to the jewelry shop to the local Oceanside shop to the trading cards in the 50s furniture shop there are just like fifty different shops all under one roof!! If we need to kill any time we end up here and we love it. They also have baba coffee in a little trailer outside. read more

Sea Hive - Cool stuff - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Oceanside, California

It's fun to walk through and see all the different items from all different sorts of selections, but the prices are way too high for everything. People are nice and talk to you if you need help. read more

So many cool things, but...... all overly priced. I was hoping to find locally made products. Unfortunately, most are local vendors who buy non-local and mark up the price to make a profit. Kudos to those few vendors who actually make their own products. read more

Put on your walking shoes! This place is large and filled with endless vintage and new merchandise. There is plenty of parking space since this spot was a car lot at one time. You will find a mix of things here. From greeting cards to vintage furniture. And fun and unique things in between, including some unique plants. The day of my visit there were a few employees (friendly and helpful) covering this large floor plan, making sure everyone was doing fine while browsing. I found the prices to be on the higher end, but you may find that to be the opposite. You will have to judge for yourself. I must say that the merchandise are in great condition though. They have a great selection of jewelry too. On my visit, I walked away with a small plant (4 inch Peperomia Rosso plant), a different looking plant that I haven't seen before. Also a small, tin planter for the plant and a pair of replica vintage sunglasses. The place is definitely worth checking out. read more

Such a cool consignment shop. First, this place is huge! But it isn't overwhelming because it's a collection on curated rooms, each with its own theme. Rustic cabin (clothes, decor, Knick knacks), mid century modern, beachy, zen, psychedelic, etc. It's a mix in terms of price. I got a gorgeous Ralf Lauren tweed jacket for $30! Some great finds await! read more

Friendly shopping helpers all around the store. Be there never be boring anytime. There are many vintage items for your collections, Also there are many new trending items for your learning experience. It is very reasonable prices some of are lower than the market prices. Keep your eye perked!!! See you there!!! read more

This location has an awkward floor plan, and I don't think I have been there once were it didn't sound like someone was breaking something. Lots and lots of random kitchy items, and a decent amount of vintage but the quality does not meet the price points. If we are bored and driving by we will stop, but it is definitely not a place I go to with an intended purpose. Employees aren't the friendliest, and getting assistance is difficult. For instance the last time we were there it was an inconvenience for the person to ring us up to pay, kind of turns me off from even wanting to stop in the future. read more

A wonderful place to find great treasures and beautiful items. The workers are always very friendly and a polite to talk with. So many one of a kind items under one roof. read more

Sea Hive - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Oceanside, California

I love stopping in here to see the new stuff they got, lots of cool and different vendors

I always loved going into SeaHive and looking at all the new items in the store. After today, I will not be returning. My friend and I experienced being followed multiple times by staff as they made intense uncomfortable eye contact with us. I walked up to the front counter to use the restroom. I heard staff conversing about the whereabouts of my friend and I. As if our presence in the building was an inconvenience. What a disappointing customer service experience and for all the vendors who have their items in store. The customer service is preventing customers from wanting to purchase. Which is upsetting because a lot of the vendors do have really cool stuff to offer. read more

Always sooooo many items to choose from! This location is close to other vintage shops which i love. Some of the items are a little overpriced for what they are, but you can always find some gems for a really good price! read more

Seahive has quickly become my go to for gifts and finding unique home decor. I love how curated each stall is and it's a place anyone can find anything to love. One of my favorite things I've found from this location is a swedish paper doll print WITH frame for only $38! It was in pristine condition and my only regret is that I didn't buy all of them. read more

I purchased a "plant" that turns out after MUCH care research, to be a hoya LEAF with roots and NO NODE for $26 There was NO disclosure that these leaves do NOT grow into plants but rather stay a single leaf sticking up in the soil that you have to care for for several years and then they die!!! I asked if I may exchange for another plant of same or lesser value. The manager returned my call stating that the grower dies this as a profession, they said the leafs do turn into plants and i have to be patient. So I checked, and as EVERY SINGLE professional website and article states, NO they grow roots and stay a plant, there is NO NODE ON THIS LEAF! I think this is absolutely unprofessional. I will no longer frequent a store that allows vendors to sell a product without such important information at an above market price and tell me basically tuff crap you git rooked buying a "plant" that'll NEVER BE A PLANTyou gave us your cash and we're keeping it no matter what! read more

When you enter into Sea Hive you might get the same feeling as me... Am I in Mary Poppins endless bag or walking into merchandise Narnia?! It's kinda wild how every single room you walk into seems like it might be the end.... But it isn't! I loved every carefully curated area of merch. Most of the areas are themed so if you're looking for a certain type of vibe, it's here. I purchased the most random bunch of items and left feeling complete. Sea Hive is such an excellent way to support small businesses and artists. They do events and have another shop set up in Point Loma at Liberty Station. read more

Sea Hive - Oh Ronald - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Oceanside, California

Rad vintage marketplace with over 100 vendors! We came in, grabbed some coffee from The Captains Grounds, and shopped! Sea Hive is packed with amazing finds but without the cluttered feel you get in some antique stores. The layout is easy to navigate. You get the sense that there are a ton of fun treasures to see without feeling lost. The employees in the black aprons are super friendly and helpful, so it doesn't even feel like the vendors are all separate businesses. This place is especially fantastic if you are into vintage jewelry. There were a ton of beautiful turquoise pieces. This is a must-see stop during a trip to Oceanside! read more
