Such an adorable boutique! They have something for every age and I find something I love every time…read moreI go in (I'm 26). Prices aren't outrageous but def a bit higher as boutiques generally go. I usually find my treasures on the clearance racks though, and I'm never disappointed by the selection there. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and there is no pressure to buy at all which is very nice and sets a relaxing atmosphere. I love this boutique and I'll keep returning as long as I live in North Carolina! Great job ladies :D

My wife occasionally enjoys spending a Saturday visiting antique stores and consignment shops, and…read moreI always get towed along. We were spending a weekend near Swansboro, and since it was rainy weather, she decided that we would not go kayaking, as I wanted, but would go shopping! I don't mind it, really. Sometimes you come across a really great find at these little shops. We didn't purchase anything at this particular store, but I was more than a little impressed with this shop. It was very unassuming from the outside, but the interior told a different story. They have some very nice quality furniture and appliances, and all kinds of trinkets, clocks, fine china, etc. All in all, not a bad consignment shop at all. Especially when you compare it to many others that simply sell garbage. Check it out. You never know what you'll find.

I thought a lot of what they offered was overpriced, but they definitely didn't stock anything that wasn't in near-mint condition. I oogled over they ratan furnishings and beachy decor and almost bought a house in the town so I could shop here to decorate!

Pass on this guide. I have been fortunate to fish in many venues in and out of the United States…read more Rainbows, Browns, Bone Fish, Trevally, Blue Fin and Great. I have been fly fishing for 40 years. This young man is a avid fisherman. But his flyrods are not loaded with the incorrect weight line. Generally you take an 8 weight and "cheat" and load it with 9 weight line. I had an 8 weight with 7 weight line that he provided. I can double haul a fly with the right line into the backing. He is focused on the easy catch, a bait ball. He has never used a switch rod or a Spey rod. He is basically a "gear head" lots of spin rods on board. I know, I am a demanding client. But I was very specific "Just get us on fish, and only with a fly rod in my hand." Any time I have fished off the Carolinas I have caught Spanish Mackerel, He did not have a fly rod set us with a bite leader, even though he said if the False Albacore were not on, we will catch Spanish Mackerel. He provided a "boat ride"...and I have a boat. Save your money. Shame on me for not doing more careful research on Perry's abilities. As much I like Perry, he blew it. He should have been honest and told me to save my money. It was a boat ride. Find another guide is my best advice for you. Oh, and for $900 he does not provide a simple lunch, like a 6 inch Subway. My bad, fool me once shame on you...but he will never fool this angler a second time. The guest I brought along did get sea sick, and Perry was considerate and compassionate towards him. But that was later in the day. Perry did discount the trip to a 3/4 day, ($750). But the bigger point was the bite was never on, and he knew it. Please take this review as my way to help you have a great day on the water...after all "the tug is the drug" :)

Love this outfitter and guide service. I got the opportunity to fish the redfish rodeo fishing…read moretournament a few weeks ago and the shop and Perry had a lot of good knowledge and tips and despite the conditions being less than ideal we were able to get on some fish! Super knowledgeable and fun guys! Lookin forward to taking an albie trio with him October 30th! Highly recommend Sound Side Outfitters.

Hem of His Garment is one of those magical little thrift stores where, if you catch it at just the…read moreright time, you can score some serious treasure! I love popping in to shop for my boys or snag some fun seasonal home goods--it's like a little adventure every time. The ladies who work here are total gems--so sweet, always cheerful, and they make the whole place feel extra welcoming. There's plenty of parking (praise be!), and making donations is super easy--just swing around to the back. Best part? Shopping here feels good because it supports a great cause. So basically, you get to treasure hunt, meet lovely people, and give back all in one stop. What's not to love?

I went to them 2 weeks before the ball, they found a dress I loved in my size, had it ordered and delivered FAST and even got the alterations all done days before the ball. GREAT customer service. They carry a great selection of boutique clothes. Super cute and affordable! So much better than anything you'll find at any store in J'ville mall.
