Flamingo Row — Local services in Ocean Isle Beach

Would’ve totally been 5 stars since the selection is great and the prices are good. However, the owners wife is crazy. I stopped in here one morning and purchased shorts, a lightweight sweatshirt, and two nets for the kids to play with. The next morning, I took my fiancé back and we bought six t-shirts. Then later that evening, while the men fished off the pier, myself and my two best friends and their children went out to shop. While in the store, one kid had to use the bathroom. Seeing how there is none to use in the store, her mom took her out to go. After waiting for about 20 minutes, my other friend and myself decided to go look for her with the kids we were watching with us (3 babies, an 8, and a 10 year old). I stopped at the desk and asked a lady where the closest restroom was. She pointed across the street. As we were struggling to cross with all the babies, I noticed the lady following us. She followed us into the arcade across the street. When we came out she was gone. Another lady approached us as we were walking back out the door and asked me if I purchased my shirt I had on (the lightweight sweatshirt that I purchased the day before). I told her yes and showed her the shorts I had on as well. She continued to question me in the middle of the doorway of the arcade. She then proceeded to tell me that the lady who followed us was the owners wife and she was convinced I stole the sweatshirt. Would I had stopped and asked her for the closest bathroom with a stolen item visibly on my body? I was, to say, highly embarrassed and offended as I am a respected medical professional and have never stolen a thing in my life! I refused to go back in this shop so they lost some sales from us that night. And had they accepted returns, I would’ve taken everything I bought from them back and gotten a refund. So note to everyone else, don’t purchase something from this store then plan to wear it while out again because the owners crazy wife will follow you and have her employees accuse you of shoplifting! Real piece of work...

i went into a dressing room to try on a dress. we never saw any signs about asking for assistance. so we went into a dressing room that was unlocked. then a worker came behind us and started screaming at us about asking for assistance before entering the dressing room. we then apologized about our mistakes very nicely. then she asked us to leave immediately in very rude voice. we did nothing wrong she should...

Flamingo Row has to be the best little beach shop out of the shops on the island. It has a great selection of anything you could need/want as far as souvenirs and clothing. It’s also clean and the staff were friendly. At the time we stopped in they were advertising 50% off entire store…. We know how stores play that just to get you in, but we where surprised that everything we purchased was...
