The Curious Mermaid Boutique

"The most helpful tip I can give you for The Curious Mermaid? GO THERE GO THERE GO THERE! This delightfully eclectic gem, tucked behind the much larger, chain-type surf shop, is ready to welcome you. Kristen has filled her space with the loveliest selections of clothing, accessories, jewlery & home items you’re guaranteed to find either exactly what you hoped or something you never expected and if you need anything Kimmie is right there to offer her expertise to you and yours…they also have menswear!"

"How great is the Curious Mermaid? My wife had been there 3 (maybe 4) times in the first 3 weeks of our moving to OIB, NC! And, there are real nice selection of men's clothes as well!"

"Went back today - lots of great deals. Better than buying direct from the brands for sure. === Really impressed with their men's clothing line! Lots of premium brands (i.e. Criquet, Hari Mari, Bald Head Blues just to name a few), great selection and style as well. Very friendly staff and my son loved their little doggie. Next time we come down to OIB, we'll be sure to shop there."

"If your looking for unique finds, you found the place. I adore their jewelry selection. They have small dainty options or statement pieces, fine jewelry or regular. Their clothing is super cute and very exclusive to their shopping have never found similar things else where. I got a dress for a formal function here for 40 dollars! (Not bad for a nice formal dress) and everyone was so blown away by it I got so many complements. The woman who owns the shop is super nice and her kids sometimes work with her and that's the sweetest thing. They also have some shoes, handbags, and men's items like shirts pants etc. I highly recommend you stop by if you love boutiques or just nice local shops. The prices vary here from affordable to super expensive (mainly with jewelry) but other than that its 5 stars for me."

"Awesome shop with extremely responsible prices! I could have spent the entire day in here looking at things. I had to end it with a mermaid doll and a pair of mermaid earrings! The doll is for our granddaughter,I may have to call and order one for myself!"
