Mad River,

619 North Howe Street, Southport, NC 28461

"My wife, daughters, and grandson stopped here to to some shopping. This used to be one of my wife’s favorite places to shop and has spent a lot of money here on various items. Unfortunately, my family was not welcome here and we will not return. They were met at the door and continuously harassed that this was a “hands in pocket shopping experience”. Nothing in that store is that nice and certainly not worth what they had to endure. Needless to say this is not a family friendly business and it is not child friendly."

"Such a special store with unique items and attentive staff. Doesn't get any better than this for home decor for the costal lifestyle. ."

"What a wonderful delight it was to find Mad River. Having just moved into SJP from Dallas I was wondering if I would find any local establishments for gift purchase. How thrilled I was to find them. Their taste is varied but impeccable which allows for a variety of needs and purchases. Can't wait to purchase more items as we settle into our home. For this year, Mad River filled my last minute Christmas shopping needs!!"

"Shopping here makes me feel good all over! The store is lovely and the staff are welcoming and very helpful. The merchandise is beautiful!! The prices range widely giving me opportunity to buy both big and small. What a tremendous asset to our town!"

"Love this store! If you're looking for something unique, this is the place to go. Whenever I need a gift for a special friend or someone who's hard to shop for, I can always find it here. The staff was friendly, experienced and extremely helpful. It's almost like having your very own personal decorator. The only problem I have when I shop here is that I want almost everything!"
