BLUF: Friendly employees and a bit of a scavenger hunt to find treasures…read more WaterLife Thrift Store is located in Whalebone Junction next to the KFC/Taco Bell. This old cottage has been a myriad of businesses over the years and is now a thrift shop selling clothing, housewares, toys, books and other odds and ends. I visited on a gloomy summer weekday and the parking lot and store were both packed. The store seemed like it was typically well organized but at the end of a busy day it was a bit messier than I expected. Ultimately I left with a vintage jigsaw puzzle and a book. The quality of the items seemed ok but I'm sure like all thrift shops, it's hit or miss and the treasure hunt is part of the excitement. The employees were friendly and the prices were fair.

The Cottage Shop is a fairly large store consisting of tasteful home decor and gifts. Many items are beach themed but there is plenty of cool and cute stuff for (in)land lovers too.
