Wild Side Beachwear — Attraction in New Smyrna Beach

So we rented a 6 man golf cart from this place for the entire day, $140 bucks. I should have walked away when I stopped in to pick it up and the greeter said let me wash it off for you, I said ok I would appreciate that, thanks. I would have thought this would have been done earlier before the renter arrives to get his ride. However it was nice that he offered. As soon as I started the cart it ran roughly, I figured it had a few miles on it and took it with the grain of salt. Then I tried to release the brake which is supposed to be spring activated, it would not come up on its own with out reaching down and lifting the peddle up with your hands. I let my son in law drive as we spent the day on the beach driving up and down shore. After spending the day on the beach we decided to drive into town as they are supposed to be road worthy....NOT! The first time I drove it on the road there were no brakes!!! When trying to use the turn signal, it was so loose it just spun around on the yoke, what a joke! I returned immediately to the rental and told them that somebody is going to get hurt on this thing and they said they were going to put it out of commission, I hope they did????

After looking at the other rentals they had they were in sad shape, broken mirrors, cowlings cracked, tires with no tread, mine with no breaks, it was obvious they were not maintaining their equipment. I only wish I had noticed before renting for the entire day. I CAUTION ANY ONE RENTING HERE, CHECK THE EQUIPMENT BEFORE YOU TAKE IT! Even thought I didn't keep it the entire time I was glad to get it turned in, I WOULD NEVER RENT FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN. I would have thought they would offer some kind of a refund but they didn't...oh well, never again!

Had it not been for the mechanical condition of the cart, it would have been a great and convenient place to rent because its right...

This was the worst experience I've ever had in retail. I tried on a really cute but overpriced bathing suit in the store and I accidentally left the bottoms in the room. When I came out, before they even checked the room, they accused me of stealing, told me to strip to prove I wasn't stealing (which is illegal by the way, considering I'm a minor and I was in a public place) and called the police. I have an anxiety disorder and started to panic and I couldn't breathe, so my friend was trying to make sense of what I was saying and translate to them. They screamed at her while she was being extremely civil. One lady after at least an hour and a half of being there went into the room, found the bottoms, and yelled at me telling me to pick them up. The staff made fun of my anxiety disorder and accused me of faking it. Once the police arrived after at least 2 hours of sitting there, they lied to the police about what happened telling them that my friend said that they weren't there and that four people searched the dressing room. The owner insisted that I should be arrested even though they had every item that I tried on in their hands. My mother arrived and the owner of the store told her how terrible she is and how I am and made her cry. After three hours of sitting in the there, the police gave us trespasses and we left. Also this was hours after I had a surgery so I was still on anesthesia. I couldn't remember what I said about the situation a little bit after I said it because I was completely out of it...

I don’t write reviews like this but what a horrible experience walking into this store was. We ate at the restaurant above the store and decided to look around afterwards, I had a to-go cup with a lid and straw in my hand and the second I walked in I was approached very aggressively by not one, but two employees who rudely told me I couldn’t have it in the store (no signage outside). I was taken aback by the intensity but said that I would throw it away (probably with a little bit of an attitude, but I felt it was warranted due to the way they approached me). One of the employees then told me to “calm down” to which I replied that she didn’t need to talk to me like that. I was then asked to leave the store - which we all gladly did. We spoke with employees in the store across the street who told us that they regularly receive the same complaints from folks who happen to wander in there.

Before this incident, my sister-in-law had gone into the store ahead of us to look around and was followed around and bothered by one of the employees awkwardly and seemingly desperately trying to get her to buy everything she picked up or looked at. She said it made her so uncomfortable that she decided to find us and leave before she was even aware of the other situation.

Don’t waste your time, money, or energy in this store - there are many others like it on the strip with much...
