Review Guidelines
Basic Review Guidelines:

Your review should focus on specific aspects of the business you are reviewing. Do not simply state you liked or disliked the business - be specific.

The best reviews include not only whether you liked or disliked a business' products or service, but also why.

DO NOT TYPE IN ALL CAPS!

Do not mention competing company names in your reviews. Focus on the company you are reviewing, and if you wish, leave a review about the other companies on their directory listings.

Do not comment on other reviews - respect their position and write your own, but do not argue with others.

Do not use profanity or post spiteful remarks.

Do not write a review that is less than 50 words in length. The goal of a review is to share your experiences with a particular company - very short reviews do not accomplish this.

Do not post phone numbers, email addresses or URLs.

Do not post inflammatory reviews - stop and put yourself in the shoes of the owner of the business you are posting about.

Do not post many reviews about one business. Doing this will cause all of your reviews to be deleted.

Remember, you are responsible for your words.

Adding new reviews is currently disabled while we work on launching a new website.

Unique place ... loved the shop!
By Laurie on 9/20/2008
One of my friends mentioned this shop to me and told me not to miss it and I am so glad I listened to her. I enjoyed the path around the house with the island information and reading about the history of the house. I ended up finding several unique gifts for friends and family and (big bonus!) some pieces of a pattern of glass I collect. Imagine that! I enjoyed talking with the owners and the other shoppers. What a great place!

Invaluable history and knowledge
By Guest on 8/25/2008
Our first trip to the OBX, just returned. Stayed at the Cape Pines Motel which is right next door to this gold mine. Love the shells, history of family, preservation & facts of the sea and shells. Don't do what I did. Saw a shell necklace but didn't buy it -went back to get it next day & it was gone. They have one of a kind items you won't find in the chain stores. Can't wait to come back!!!

Great History and Buys
By nana on 11/8/2007
The shop is terrific. The history that has been incorporated into the display and walk around outside are one of the best on the island for local history and enviromental information.
