Wander through several intimate spaces peppered with gorgeous jewelry, home décor, handbags and hats, coastal items, and hostess gifts aplenty.
Only a few miles from the sea, the Christmas Shop is awash with coastal soaps, perfumes, decorative sea life, shells and breathtaking coastal home accents.
Our General Store is a food lovers paradise; with candy, fudge and chocolate for every sweet tooth, locally sourced coffees, salsas, sauces, chips and more!
