''Loved the Claire Murray and MacKenzie-Childs! You rarely see these products in person! Great art here, too! What a great addition to the shopping scene in downtown Southport!...''

''We avoid this store like the plague. It is always crowded and the service we have received, if you can call it service, has been awful as well. Dirty store. The Wal-Mart in Southport is MUCH cleaner!...''

''We enjoyed our visit with the proprietor. Fine cigars and the regulars there give it a homey feeling. If they would have had a coffee machine with fresh coffee they would have gotten five stars!...''

''I've known Renee for a few years now. My wife and I bought our wedding rings there and I re-bought my wedding ring since I lost it ;). I have bought many item since and I must say that this is the best place to go for everything you could need. Renee and her staff are top notch and have no problem walking through their entire store showing and suggesting items. Its not the pushy type of suggesting you get from those big retailers, they take the time to know you and your spouse and show you...''

''My sister and I visited Cattail Cottage a couple of times and we love the shop! It has great specialty gifts and unique items that you can't find in other shops; and even when there was an item that needed to be ordered the owner was ever so gracious as to order the item and ship it to me. Thanks SO much! You must visit Cattail Cottage when you visit Southport! You will love it!...''

''Not worth my time. Owner was rude and appeared to be otherwise occupied....''

''Fabulous! Loved the store!
Great Offerings at good value.
Karen, the owner is super!
Can't wait to go back again...''

''Na. P. carries all the basics of pet care and special need items, as well. Great service and terrific novelty & gift ideas!...''

''I have a vacation home in southport and when I returned there in the summer I found that my pipes had frozen and cracked. Stewart's helpful staff fixed my problems with a smile and even lent me some tools that I did not have here....''

''The owner Holly is always very helpful not only with what she sells, but information on the town itself. The type of shop it is hard to walk past and not stop in to browse, buy. Tons of decorative items large & small....''

''I love visiting Southport and wandered into Le Clerc's last year while visiting the city. I found some wonderful shoes which I bought. After getting back home to Knoxville, I decided I just had to have some more of those shoes. I called Le Clerc's and was told they did have some more. She shipped them right out to me!! I will shop there every time I get into Southport....''

''Quick ''On the spot'' evaluations of jewelry. Very nice repair of jewelry and watches. Friendly and extremely thorough....''

''This is my favorite place to shop when I go to Holden
Beach. It has unique gifts and clothes and I never
leave empty handed. It doesn't matter if the store is
full of customers or I am the only one in there,
they make me feel welcom and they are very helpful....''

''I absoluty love Dutchman Creek Bait and Tackle. Everytime I am in the area I stop in there to get everything I need. The people that work in there are very friendly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone....''

''Have visited HB long enough to remember the pre-Food Lion days! We're thrilled they finally opened!

However, sure wish some grocery in the area would develop their entrepreneurial spirit! If you could pre-order and pay up fromt for a basic order (milk, eggs, cereals, etc., etc.) before you arrive and just pick it up, or even have it delivered...wow...would we love it! And we'd pay for it!The store is WAY too busy on check-in day. And coming from such a long distance, there's nothing we can do...''
