I am not…read moresure if the same person has owned it, but it seems to remain a constant fixture in the community for locals and out of towners alike. Most recently I dashed out while my mom watched my 8 month old to get a hostess gift for our family friend. I was greeted as soon as I entered by perhaps the owner (a friendly blonde woman). I told her I was looking for specific gifts (cocktail napkins, coasters, and a candle) and she showed me where said merchandise was located in each of the rooms. The store is cozy and inviting, as the name suggests, and is full of beach themed goods for home. It's a great spot for picking out a quick hostess gift, or a clever birthday gift (think cute wooden signs, pillows, cheese boards etc). The store isn't cluttered though it is full of options. I found some beach chair coasters (heavy and substantive), and a lovely candle that had an orange vanilla fragrance and helped feed a hungry child in South America with its purchase. I tried to use my Target card but stupidly didn't realize that it only works at Target.com or in Target stores (I don't have the master card that works everywhere). Oops. I only brought an AMEX but she kindly let me use that. I would have had to go back to our beach house and get my other card. I will be back next time I am in town looking for a gift. Friendly service and an inviting shopping atmosphere are a plus!

This is a cute shop to buy a souvenir in Cape Charles! If you're a family or have a kid with you,…read moreThe Boardwalk should be on your must to-visit list. The store is very coastally cute with nautical items, an abundance of Cape Charles branded items and the little trinkets I remember obligatory buying for friends and family when I went on vacation without them. However, make no mistake, not everything in here is kitschy. If the vibe in your home is nautical, they have a huge selection of kitchen wares, decor, candles and more that go with that theme. It can be easy to get swept away in that feeling (no pun intended) In the back of the store, they have a fairly large toy section which is going to delight the heck out of any kid! Overall, this shop is very sweet and a worthy stop on your stroll through Cape Charles. It's on the main downtown block in Cape Charles, surrounded by other sweet local businesses. Bring your kids in here to find a fun souvenir, or just let yourself be surprised and walk away with something to remind you of this cute coastal town.

When I looked at the receipt after buying many items, there was a price discrepancy. I immediately said I had seen a different price. They have a stack of tags piled up, looked through and pulled one from the stack to show me. I said it didn't look right and just wanted to return it right after they charged me. They said they wouldn't refund it and gave some BS about the vendor getting immediate notification that I had purchased from them and couldn't refund it. It's not like I came back the next day or an hour later. I had an issue with the price they charged compared to what I had seen. In my experience, it was just bad business. I will not be returning and I will not be recommending to my clients.
