I had just double checked it closed at 6 so we walked up to and the door was locked. There was a young girl sitting in the dark, I motioned to her and pointed to the sign on the door and my watch. She saw us but then wouldn't make eye contact, grabbed her stuff and walked to the back of the store completely ignoring us! My daughter was so sad because she had been waiting all week to go. I'm so disappointed in the lack of customer service the girl working gave. It was bad enough she had turned the lights off and locked the door 15 mins early but then when she saw me and I tried to get her to open the door she completely ignored me! So rude!

Check them out for your swim gear.

We spent around $500 and were rushed out by the young kids trying to close the store . The dressing room was shut on us twice meaning locked out while taking clothes to the register . We had zero help and no enthusiasm for the store . We were not approached one time to see if we needed any help finding anything . We had to look for an associate multiple Times. We were super nice and not asking for anything over the top but felt very unwelcome and would have bought much more if the staff was warm and helpful . They clearly wanted to just close the store and were not even remotely friendly .... Such a shame / that place used to be a great place to go to while In VA beach . Will be our last time there ....

Friendly staff inside greeted us and we were left to browse the end of season sales - tons of great name brand items were on sale in the back by the women's bikinis and swim.

I emailed customer support and they said they would be happy to send me the smaller size once they received the larger glasses. I sent back the larger glasses and they were delivered 8 days ago now. No response from the shop or customer support. I've emailed them multiple times, called multiple times, and left a voicemail. I don't understand how it takes 8 days to do this. I also am failing to understand how a shop has this poor of customer support. Not responding to emails or calls for 8 days is absurd. Extremely unprofessional.

This is a small women's clothing boutique with beautiful, fashionable upscale clothing. The lady working inside was very friendly and welcoming.

There were business suits and blazers with skirts and nearly all types of items for your occasion. Several of the ladies inside were clearly regulars and that was nice to see. Note: this is an upscale store where a dress or blouse runs in $170-250 range per item. So, it's not for the faint of heart but had beautiful pieces to make a statement.

My three children wanted to take skateboarding lessons. We decided to try Coastal Edge and had an…read moreincredible experience at the camp and with our skateboard shopping experience (but it was much more than that). I want to comment about the skate camp first. My kids ended up taking a the week long camp with John Fudala. John and Denise were amazing with them (ages 9,9,6). The kids learned an so many tricks and techniques - I couldn't believe how much and how quickly they learned. Their confidence levels increased every day, and they had an absolute blast. The kids have repeatedly told me that this was one of the best camps they've ever been a part of, and they done many different types of camps during their young lives. John and Denise made it so much fun (costumes, music, pizza, and a mellow environment). As a parent, I really appreciated listening to the life lessons they were teaching the kids about perseverance, practice, and hard work while they taught them how to skate safely. I highly recommend it and hope to come back in August once they've had a chance to practice :) Now, I want to comment about the store experience. My daughter fell in love with skateboarding, so I decided to get her a better board than she had. John and the staff at the store helped us pick out the right board for her. Having been in customer-facing positions my entire life, I am not easily impressed, but I was blown away by Tanner who works at Coastal Edge. She was amazing. She went ridiculously far above and beyond. The backstory is that my daughter had seen the right size, type, and color (pink) the day before, but it had sold by the time we decided to buy it the next day. She saw my daughter - who that day was the only girl at the camp - and wanted her to fall in love with the sport. So, she took my mobile number so i could go to work. Within an hour, she had called every single Coastal Edge location multiple times looking for the right board. She found one, but it wasn't pink. My daughter could have lived with a masculine board, but Tanner saw her in all pink pads, shoes, shorts, etc. and decided that she was going to get my daughter a pink board no matter what. Tanner talked to a friend of hers, Jenah (also another stellar employee), and they offered to take the board home that night, sand it, and paint it pink (with my daughter's favorite things: unicorns, rainbows, flowers) out of sheer kindness. They asked for Isabella's input on the design (I sent them a drawing she had made). They took it and made something really special. The brought it to Isabella on day 2 of her camp. Jenah wasn't working at that location, but came any way to give the board directly to izzy and to watch her take her maiden voyage on it. When I asked about payment, they only asked for some chocolate chip cookies. There is so much to be negative about in the world, but these young women have me hopeful about the future. They made a massive impact on my daughter and a huge impression on me. I will encourage my daughter to pay it forward someday when she's a little older. I never write review either, but this was the very least I felt I should do for what was an amazing week. Any company is only as good as its people, and Coastal Edge has amazing employees. THANK YOU for an amazing camp and life experience this week!

That took less than 2 minutes. I was told that I was a 32F. Within 5-7 minutes, the woman who measured me brought in 9 "options" for me to try on. 8 of the bras didn't fit at all & 1 was a somewhat reasonable fit. This made me ponder that the "receptionist" really didn't know what she was doing & that I was unlucky enough to arrive after the pro's shift was over for the day. The 1 option that reasonably fit me wasn't great or "life changing".....just OK. It (like all the others) was a "model" bra......meaning that MANY women had tried it on before & it was stretched out quite a bit. When she brought in the same bra (a Medium pull-over bra) in a different color that hadn't been tried on by other women, I couldn't even get it over my head. That shows how badly stretched out the 1st "M" was. Very disappointing. No precise sizing -- just a MEDIUM. What makes this place different than Dillards or JC Penny? Nothing (as far as I can tell). Geezz. Definitely not a good experience & certainly NOT even worth the $50 fitting fee. Would not recommend.

They sell name brands like Vox and Roxy and have fashionable beach wear as well as surf wear and bathing suits. Shoes and surfboard gear. Sunglasses. Etc. If you're in the market for any of those things this spot in Red Mill commons is easier to access with more parking than the oceanfront ones.
