I found myself in need of several "beach" items this week for me and my family. After trying…read moreseveral other common chains I stumbled across Aussie Island Surf Shop and im glad I did. The service was top notch. I came in Thursday and Friday to look for sandals for myself and a hat for my wife. I found the selection of items great. They carry what some big chains carry but they also have more. I ended up purchasing the comfiest pair of sandals I have ever had before. Freewaters Cloud 9 are amazing. For my wife the goal was a hat that would block the sun from her face and float. They carry Turtle Fur which accomplishes that! I am a very slow deliberate shopper but I found the customer service so great and the value for several items so good, I bought in store happily. Add to the fact that the store is easy to reach and this store is a must before the beach!

The employees and owners are just the friendliest people ever. I love this store!! We went in to…read morelook for some swimming trunks for my son and they were so helpful.

Knowledgeable staff…read more Recently they and other vintage stores have been victim of aggressive shoplifters so the store has implemented a cute locker system. Guests are asked to store purse/bags in a locked locker (guest carries key on bracelet while shopping) -or respectfully leave purses and bags in vehicle. Items stolen were too large to fit into a locked case-but sadly not too big for an oversized bag. Next time you're in Wilmington look up this beautiful shop.

I made my first purchase of a beautiful green skirt and there was a dressing room to ensure I had the correct size for myself. The owner greeted me with a smile and was very nice to chat with about her store and her exciting business plans as she has just recently opened and is a first time business owner. The store has awesome selections, there is second hand, and some brand new choices as well. Roses are Blue has definitely been keeping up with the fashion trends and have great selections like Y2K or 90s fashion as well. Unlike the other review I have seen on Google, there is clothing for all sizes, it was in either the new/Unused, or consignment racks, and the owner even talked about getting plus sizes in the future. I definitely think this business is very inclusive and is a great addition to our Historical Downtown Area. I overall had a great time shopping here and I am super excited to go shop again soon.

They were asked to leave the store for no reason (he said that they were misbehaving even though they were standing with their Mom the entire time). He said children were not welcome in his store. When I confronted he and his wife, he denied saying anything and then became belligerent and she said he has dementia and doesn't know what he says (if that is the case, then he should not be in the store being rude to potential customers). I would not, under any circumstances, support these people.
