Surprisingly, there is a full service hair and nail salon situated inside through a side opening in the wall, almost as a "Speak Easy" - I took a quick peek. Most of the items in the store are dedicated to the female persuasion, so I guess a beauty salon was the right move. The employee was friendly and very attentive. The inventory was very nicely situated in sections including, Crislu jewelry, Volupsa candles, Longchamp purses, logo socks, decorative soaps, side table decor, lotions, perfumes and of course Christmas decor. Most of the items here would be the perfect gift for the White Elephant game at any family gathering.

Our first time visiting this Saturday Morning Market in Downtown Ocala and what a great experience…read moreit was, some of that I attribute to the mild temperatures here in late September and much more than that is it's a very well organized event with some spectacular vendors. Although the pavilion is dedicated to a number of farm to table vendors there's so much more surrounding it - it's also equally amazing how much free parking there is in very close proximity to the market so although I recommend wearing comfortable shoes you won't be setting any step records if you track those things. I specifically came here to see if I could fine some fresh vine ripened homegrown tomatoes, a few vendors had the most beautiful juicy tomatoes from Tennessee and after slicing a few I knew I scored big and being they were very reasonably priced I loaded up which means most of my meals in the next few days will include chilled sliced tomatoes which I'm fine with. We also found some beautiful jalapeño peppers and delicious cucumbers if I lived local this is where I'd buy all my vegetables. We were here about an hour just checking things out but long enough to grab a large freshly squeezed lemonade which was outstanding, not cheap but delicious and refreshing . This place really exceeded my expectation and one that I plan to return to when in the area...

We booked and fully paid for a Northern European cruise through Serendipity Boutique (with Martha)…read morein June 2023, for a trip departing July 11, 2025. The reservation included myself, my boyfriend, my brother's family, and his in-laws. Unfortunately, it turned into the most stressful vacation planning experience I've ever had. Over the 18 months leading up to the trip, we made numerous attempts--via email and phone--to get basic information: our cruise cabin assignments, pre-departure hotel, international flights, and transportation. Martha consistently dodged our questions, gave vague responses, and shifted blame to Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL). We communicated early that we intended to upgrade our flights to business class. Despite this, no itineraries or confirmations were provided as prices steadily rose. With just two months to go, we still had no flight info, no hotel details, and no cruise cabin assignments. Martha's advice? Book our own flights and hope to be reimbursed--though she couldn't confirm how much. She later mentioned a $750 credit per passenger, reimbursed only after the cruise. By then, even economy flights had nearly doubled in price. She repeatedly changed her timeline for finalizing details: first 60 days out, then six weeks, then 30 days. When we checked in again at 30 days, she claimed NCL was "delaying confirmations" and that she had "pulled back" our flights to book them herself. On June 13, 2025, my brother's in-laws received their NCL balcony room confirmations. My brother and I still had nothing. At 21 days out, my brother contacted NCL directly. To our shock, NCL had no reservations for us at all. Worse, balcony cabins--the category we had paid for--were sold out. We made repeated attempts to reach Martha to salvage the trip, especially as one of our travelers--my brother's mother-in-law--was battling stage 4 lung cancer. This was her dream trip. Martha knew about her condition and her intent to upgrade flights. While she had a cruise room (still no flight), my brother and I had no booking. Out of options, my brother sent a formal demand letter via a process server on June 16, 2025, requesting receipts and proof of booking. Within hours of her signing for the letter, we received confirmation that our cruise had just been paid and booked--on June 16--less than a month before departure. The timestamp made it clear: she had not secured anything until that very moment, despite having our full payment since 2023. Only one of the three cabins was booked in the correct category. My cabin was eventually upgraded to balcony level before departure, but my brother's never was. Meanwhile, business class tickets had soared past $6,000--nearly double what they had cost just months prior. This entire experience turned what should have been a joyful, once-in-a-lifetime trip into a mess of stress, frustration, and last-minute panic. Instead of excitement, we were left scrambling and anxious in the final days before departure. Martha repeatedly misled us and refused to take responsibility, continuing to blame NCL for what was clearly her failure to secure our arrangements. We plan to file a formal complaint with the Florida Department of Agriculture (which regulates sellers of travel) and are still considering legal action due to the serious negligence involved. Though she later refunded my brother due to the cabin downgrade, the damage had been done. Bottom line: I'm still not sure how a boutique is selling travel, but I strongly caution anyone considering Serendipity Boutique.This was a clear case of mishandling and deception, despite having our full payment for more than two years. A trip we had looked forward to became a chaotic, last-minute scramble that took a major emotional toll on our entire group.

The platters are essential for serving your guests in the proper manner you know.

I particularly like the FinchBerry soaps that not only come in a variety of scents but re also very decorative.

If you've never been here you've got to check it out. If not, you may be asked to turn in your Southern heritage membership card.

The lady at the register was so kind, helpful, and accommodating -- real Southern hospitality. The place has that "Old Florida" charm, full of nostalgia and memories of childhood road trips. Definitely a fun stop for all ages and a great spot to experience a bit of vintage Florida flavor.

I did buy a rubber chameleon for Bud to scare his mom, a small orange bouncy ball, violets candy, tin of mints that says alligator poop.

I will…read morefirst say, it is a great place if you smoke tobacco and other green stuff because they had a massive variety of pipes, bowls, bongs, and papers. The store is pretty massive in size as well so it can be overwhelming. The cigar selection was more vast than I expected. They actually carried good cigars. Not like top notch brands but ones that can be enjoyable. The prices were relatively decent. I was not expecting that. The reason we visited here was because it was Sunday and the store we usually purchase cigars from is closed on Sundays. The staff were very friendly and personable. We were offered assistance if necessary. To put it bluntly (no pun lol), they were cool as shit. While hubs went to the register and paid, I browsed the rest of the store. My smoking days are long gone but it was neat to see all the supplies they carry. This place is definitely worth visiting.
