I happened across Island Life on a recent trip to visit my daughter and her family who live in Nakomis. I have strolled the streets of Venice once or twice but never noticed this wonderful establishment. I had seen similar outdoor furniture elsewhere and wanted to check out what they had to offer. Wow, I was blown away at the merchandise they had to offer. I've always wanted to create a little piece of the Island back home where I live in Chicago and thought this set would be a great way to start!!
On my first trip into the store I met Mark and his hospitality was second to none. I told him my little story and we spoke about the furniture as I sat comfortably in it. He is very knowledgeable about the merchandise he sells and makes you feel very comfortable in making a decision. I told him I was going to think about it but would most likely be back the following day. I'm not sure why I didn't just make the purchase at that time but when I did go back the next day I realized why. I got to meet his awesome wife Laura! I don't recall seeing Laura on my first visit so I'm thankful for whatever made me coma back and make the purchase the second day. Laura is equally as pleasant and hospitable as Mark and the two definitely have a great relationship and way of working with people.
This has been one of my favorite purchases in quite some time. The experience was nothing short of incredible. Their communication regarding shipping and such was on point. You'll need a little muscle for the assembly but once you get this put together it really is an amazing piece of furniture. Very comfortable and relaxing to sit in.
I get down to Nakomis quite a but and will now look forward to swinging through their shop even if just to say hello to two wonderful people. Thank you...
Read moreI spent all day shopping in Venice with my sisters and this was my favorite store of the day! Definitely worth a visit! The owner was so friendly and we had an interesting conversation with him the whole time we shopped. There is a good mix of merchandise sold here, including several lines of locally made products. We didn't leave empty handed! Will definitely visit again if ever...
