''The shop is great. We go down many times during the year and my kid practically lives there. Even when he is not buying stuff and looking around the folks will give him surf mags and stuff. Great place, a must visit at the beach....''

''You don't find many shops in vacations locations with such friendly, helpful people. We've been coming to Sunset for many years, and this shop is consistently welcoming, and great to work with. I've even bought myself some terrific things here, and the ice cream is wonderful....''

''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....''

''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...''

''Pretty average. Good food, but limited. We have eaten breakfast and lunch here several times. Service and atmosphere okay. Nothing to set it apart from other places. Sometimes it is a quick place to eat and run, sometimes not....''
