Amazing selection of clothing that you won't see anywhere else. Good design available for reasonable cost for many of the clothing lines. Only problem is that limited numbers of each garment ordered and sizes get picked over quickly (most often smalls are all that remain) just days days after receiving a shipment). Can't wait until they move into larger store so there are more changing rooms and hopefully more back stock of sizes. Love the clothes and accessories. They will mail if items become available in desired size. Owner seems to want staff to follow shopper around to make suggestions. Good service for those who appreciate this but I only need help if looking for a size and like to do my own browsing. read more

Great clothes but unfortunately terrible customer service which stems from the owner Keely who was incredibly rude and unprofessional.

Such a great boutique! The staff were so helpful and friendly without being pushy! My new favorite store!

Absolutely loved shopping here! Staff was fun, friendly and helpful. I'm tall and slim and sometimes have a hard time finding things the correct length but the staff here were extremely knowledgeable and pulled more than I would have expected to find in a boutique for me. I can't wait to stop by again!! read more

Beautiful boutique in downtown Venice. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff with gorgeous lines like Johnny Was, XCVI, Tolani, River and Sky and Hobo. New Owner!! A must see if visiting the Venice area! read more

Seaside Chic Boutique - Women's Clothing Near Me - Venice, Florida

This was during the cold snap over the Christmas holidays that Florida experienced. I brought my mom in to show her a cute dress I bought and to try and convince her to get one. Obviously my multiple layers for a walk in the cold was not the appropriate attire for shopping there. as I was looking through the rack for a size the associate reached in front of me to straighten the first item on the rack. There were a couple of cute pieces that I wanted. I ended up purchasing them elsewhere. read more

I was in Venice shopping and stopped in this cute little boutique as I entered in the store two women immediately were following me as if I were there to shoplift!?!? one would not leave me alone to shop around so I just chose to leave I think they had some cute things they seemed very overpriced but I did not have a good experience There are very cute shops in Venice but no one likes to be followed and pressured So I won't be visiting that shop again ! But to let you know Venice is a very fun area to visit! Kimberlee read more

I've always enjoyed shopping in this beautiful boutique my husband recently went in to shop for me for Christmas knowing that I like the store He spent several hundred dollars worth of clothing and confirmed that if something didn't fit that I could bring it back and exchange it for the correct size which they assured him I could. So when I went in to make the exchange I was rudely told I could not it was beyond the seven days after the purchase. So it is because of their rude customer service that I will not step foot in there again. There are plenty of other beautiful boutiques downtown Venice to choose from ~ read more

Love, love, love this boutique! Great selection! So many cute things. Friendly, helpful salespeople.

Would give 5 stars for Marcia and Pat who have helped to fill my closet with sea side chic choices over the years. I have been a LOYAL customer for many years including when this store was across Venice Ave and i have recommended this store to literally DOZENS of people. I am a local and I support small businesses but NEVER again will I spend a dime at Sea Side Chic specifically because of the owner Janice. She gave me such grief about spending the balance on a gift card from my husband - yep, even he knew it was my favorite store on the island. (But no longer!). I spent a portion of my birthday gift card and the store gave me a receipt showing my balance. They did NOT give me another gift card, just the receipt showing my balance. And I kept it safely in my wallet for several weeks until the next opportunity to shop. Well..... when I went back, found a few more cute items and tried to check out, the shop help INSISTED I needed to have a gift card. I went around and around explaining - no gift card was given to me after my first purchase...just the receipt. Well THEN they call Janice the "owner" who tells me on the phone that they can't accept tje receipt as proof. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? You guys gave me the receipt, told me it was all I needed and kept my gift card!! JANICE was NOT kind or helpful or nice. I left the store before I lost my cool in front of their other customers- because guess what? Unlike JANICE I am kind and helpful and nice. I ultimately get a phone call (and my husband did too) to say they figured it out and I can come back in and spend my balance. No apologies. Nothing close to it from Janice. And Janice is still saying that I LOST my gift card. What a moron! I will never step a foot inside this store again. And I will spread the word. read more

I love this place, they have unique clothing that you can't find in most stores in Venice. It is the only place I shop on the island

In good conscience I can't even give a single star. I purchased a Hobo wallet for $68 and wanted to upgrade to one for $118 and the answer was no it's over 7 days, but less than 30 days. Very poor customer service! Stay away!! read more

I also feel if I could give this place less than one star I would. My daughter bought her sister an expensive tank top for her birthday. Purchased May 10. The birthday girl recently had a baby and the top did not fit. Actually she didn't really like it. On May 25 she tried to exchange it for another article of clothing. So after shopping for half an hour with her infant she was told the return Policy was 7 days. She asked to check with the owner since she just had a baby and the purchasing sister was assured by the owner they would accept a return. Owner said sorry - policy is 7 days. So, not only did they receive this unfavorable review but neither of my girls will shop there again. They are losing out on a lot of business during their off season. Very bad management. So beware. If you buy someone a gift in advance by the time you give it to them it will be too late to make an exchange. Very bad business plan. read more

I was excited to find this little boutique while visiting friends in Florida. I purchased a cute little skirt got it home took the tag off put it on to wear out that night and noticed two little freyed spots in the fabric. I took it back the following day hoping to exchange and also had my eye on an expensive necklace and sandals I was planning to buy. The sales clerk accused me of damaging the skirt and gave me a terrible time and all but accused me of being a liar and I felt like a criminal by the time I left. I've been emailing the owner back-and-forth and again I was told that I must've done the damage myself. TERRIBLE service - DO NOT SHOP there - there is a great second hand shop a few doors down and for one tenth the cost you could have a very nice wardrobe!! And they are pleasant!! 0 stars from me!! read more

Decided to see what this boutique has to offer, but upon entering the store, I was immediately approached by a salesperson. She asked what I was interested in seeing and I told her that I just wanted to browse.....she followed me around, until I'd had enough and left. Give the customer some breathing room! read more
