I love a clean, organized, well-stocked thrift store - and Island Thrift delivers! Located a few…read moreblocks from the center of Oak Harbor, it's worth the slight detour to check out their wealth of treasures, all of which are well-marked, well-presented, and well-priced. They have everything from vintage knick knacks to toys to books to small furniture. And clothes, TONS of clothes, all organized by size, style, season...you name it. They also have a large selection of household items, like dishes, bedding, towels, and small appliances. One thing I really appreciate is that they have dressing rooms so you can try things on! Some larger thrift stores have done completely away with this option, and while I understand why, I appreciate the ones who still have them. The line can get a little long at the counter, so keep that in mind if you're there on a busy day. But if you want a great thrifting experience, and to support a lovely small town business, definitely give Island Thrift a try!

Came to this thrift store for the first time today and while I was looking through one of the racks…read moreone of the workers, an Asian woman with big eyeglasses came out of nowhere, practically running up on me and told me she was working on that rack. She looked very visibly angry when saying this. I apologized and told her that I genuinely thought this was one of the racks on display in the store and backed off it. I hadn't been here before so I didn't know the layout of the store. She didn't say anything to me after that and hurried off away? I tried to go through the rest of the store but, after that the vibe was just off and I had to leave. Not sure if I will come back. At least not for awhile. Overall the store is very organized and clean. The clothing selection isn't the most stylish but, they can't help want gets donated to them. Would have liked it more if my visit had been better.

We stumbled upon this new-to-us little thrift shop during a recent weekend trip to Oak Harbor. It's…read morea small (but mighty) little strip mall space full of all sorts of treasures. From books to clothing to toys to craft supplies (just to name a few) they likely have it here! The displays were very well organized and it was easy to find things, although there didn't seem to be a lot in any particular category. It was still fun to look around and see what they had. I was most interested in any fabric or craft supplies. There wasn't anything I couldn't live without, though I was definitely tempted by a gigantic knitting needle. While I hunted for crafts, the dude pored through their book section. And while we left without buying anything, I could definitely see adding this to our thrifting rotation when we're in the area.

Unfortunately, our experience here was very disappointing. The store is extremely crowded and…read morepacked with an overwhelming amount of merchandise, and in my opinion, many of the items were significantly overpriced for a thrift/junk store. What really made us decide to leave, though, was the employee working there. His attitude toward us was extremely rude and demeaning. He spoke down to us in a way that made us feel very uncomfortable. I also witnessed him speaking to another customer in a similarly condescending manner. I had brought my family in to browse and potentially purchase some things, but after the way we were treated, we put everything back and walked out. Customer service matters, and no one should be made to feel belittled or unwelcome simply for shopping in a store. Will not return or recommend this store

This business owner is relatively new to the Whidbey island community…read more The owners of this business is also engaging in buying pallets of illegal fireworks and this last week the genius decide to smoke dabs next to 700 pounds of fireworks that they had stored in the living room of their double wide. Then recently the "man " of the couple returned to smoke again on the property and start a fire. Our neighbors just below this load have told us that this guy was selling the fireworks that have made our street a war zone during the Fourth of July. It's been miserable here since this has proliferated!! This completely destroyed their recent home and the one next door displacing an 85 year old renter that doesn't know where she will go next. It also significantly destroyed the neighboring home on the other side of a valued community member that runs a non profit food pantry that has had to recently move operations to her home after at Mother's Day flood at the storefront in Langley. She is now being harassed by the owner with the smoking problem including a second fire set next to her fence gate. Read the news. Judge for yourself. This business in my opinion should not get any love or support in our community as they are more of a problem than a positive attribute! It's just an outsider with no concern except profit while living here.

As far as thrift shops go, it really doesn't get much better than Vintage La Conner. They have a…read morelittle bit of everything - from clothing to kitchen items to crafts to books - and most of it is pretty reasonably priced, too. The shop is well organized and there seems to be a good turnover of items. I visit whenever I'm in La Conner (about once every month or two) and I rarely see the same items sitting for too long. The staff (who I think are all volunteers) are always helpful and friendly, too. They're quick to offer assistance, wrap up a breakable item, or answer a question. On my most recent visit, which was yesterday, I was excited to see they had some nice Christmas items in stock - including a Christmas 50% off table, and even some beautiful 1980s era Christmas china. I've always wanted a whole set of Christmas china, but had to resist the temptation to buy it. Should have grabbed a pic as it was quite lovely!

The clothing is beautiful, high-quality, and thoughtfully selected. What truly sets this shop apart is the entire experience. The staff are consistently warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Even when I'm not shopping, I enjoy stopping in just to browse and admire the stunning displays and carefully curated pieces. The attention to detail--from the clothing to the décor to the exceptional customer service--is evident in every corner of the store. It's a wonderful place to shop, and I always leave feeling inspired. Thank you for creating such a beautiful and inviting space.

So pleasantly surprised as the owner and I seem to share in the appreciation of adorable clothing and gift ideas. I spent almost 2 hours looking through all the beautiful colors and clothing from island lounge wear to a bit more dressy for a party or date night with the hubs. I saw the Gilmore girls sweatshirts and thought, I liked this ladies style but if we share the love of everything Stars Hollow, she's reeled me in!

This store is really nicely organized. They only sell women's clothing (well, as far as clothes go…read more They sell accessories and jewelry, too) and they do a good job of determining what's in style and what people will likely want or need. I think it's family-owned and a couple of employees are family members. They are always nice and helpful at checkout. I do think some of the clothing is overpriced but I also know that, on an island with few decent places to buy clothes, sometimes it's worth it to stop in and see what they have, regardless of price.
