I was in this store during a busy Saturday and watched a woman try to return a bikini that was…read morepurchased 3 weeks prior with a stain. She claimed her flighty daughter or her daughter's friend purchased the string bikini three weeks ago with a stain and didn't notice it??? Lady was returning because her daughter "works two jobs"??? The return was clearly against the policy written on the receipt. The woman was insanely out of line and said she would write a bad review...?? To give a store owner a bad review for your daughter's mistake like this is repulsive. I wish I had spoken up for the store owner in the moment. She was extremely professional despite Karen (Jennifer L below) bogus rant and claim. Jennifer L. - teach your daughter the right lesson here. These stores are what make Stone Harbor village center so special! shop local!!

My Aunt Mary is a dedicated sister for several decades so the IHM sisters have a special place in my heart. I stopped by to shop the merchandise at the store and there were so many things not stocked. No car magnets, no hats, and they didn't launch a beach towel with the new design. Since the sisters aren't sure if they'll be hosting the surfing event this could be the last shirt/last design. If you go- bring cash or check.

My wife was looking for a particular soft surfboard. After calling around to various surf shops we…read morefound the one she wanted at Ocean Outfitters. Living in Upstate NY we wouldn't be able to get down there until the weekend. No problem, they held it for us until we drove down this past Saturday. When we got to the shop, it even had a slip of paper with her name on it so it wouldn't accidentally be sold. It was the last of that size and brand. And since it's now after Labor Day, I'm guessing they won't restock until next season. I don't know the guy's name behind the counter, but he did mention he's been surfing the Jersey shore over 50 years. He was amazing. He was the benchmark for awesome customer service. He set up her board with the fins and leash. Gave her a tip about securing the leash when putting the board away. He gave her all kinds of other advice and easily answered every question she threw at him. Now, to put this in perspective, we had been to a shop in Rhode Island and the guy behind the counter was trying to sell her a more advanced board that she didn't want. I told her not to get it. Get the one you want, develop your muscle memory, then get a hard board later down the road. And when I told this to the guy at Ocean Outfitters, he said "Yes! That's what we tell the people that come here for lessons." All in all a very cool experience. I would definitely be back. Will definitely check here first for any other surfing needs.

This joke of a "business" rented us a golf cart for a week and we asked Tricia, the owner, which was the best. The maroon cart. So we took it on our way. When returning the cart after the week of use as directed, it completely died and shut down on a main road at an intersection. It did not give any warning and there was no ability to coast to a halt off to the side because there is no neutral. We couldn't move it out of the road. They didn't show us a neutral switch (if there was one). We called the business and they sent for a tow truck. The cart was finally towed after a long delay, all the while the police were there to redirect traffic on a Saturday morning beach weekend. Nothing was said or done at that time, the police didn't mention anything was amiss since it wasn't our vehicle. No licenses or insurances were taken at the scene. Fast forward to about a week later and THE POLICE called to tell us we had a CRIMINAL CHARGE for OBSTRUCTING A HIGHWAY. This sad excuse of a "business" gave our drivers' license info and probably was told what was happening. Instead of working with the police about THEIR vehicle breaking down, they gave a WEAK response! (attached is the actual email) When we contacted Tricia to have them work on this for us, they flat out REFUSED and Tricia said "Since the citation is in your name, there's nothing I can do about it except standby." All future email requests have been IGNORED. We were able to get the charge significantly reduced to a basic moving violation once it was explained to the judge, but there's still a $100 ticket and huge amount of time wasted. Still no response to cover our ticket or time spent to resolve this issue. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS JOKE OF A SHOP.
