Vintage Marketplace 5441 Oleander Drive, Wilmington, NC 28403

"Love this wonderful place! I’ve purchased many items there and love just checking out the different things coming in each time I shop. Looking forward to seeing and shopping at your new location."

"Lovely little place. They'll be moving soon into a bigger building as they have so many great items for sale! They've earned this new spot."

"If you haven't checked this place out yet...it's a must! It is so adorable and I absolutely love what the vendors have to offer. My favorite is the eclectic pieces hanging from the ceiling and the furniture!"

"I hate to review this place as a two star as I have purchased many things in the past at this marketplace. My experince today made me walk out without purchasing anything nor do I ever want to return at this point. I had two out of town guests who wanted to visit the Ivy Cottage, however, I really felt they would enjoy the atmosphere and vintage products in this martlet place. We were considering serveral items and had only been in the store a short while when my 3 year old granddaughter said she needed to use the restroom. Market Street is a VERY BUSY street in Wilmington and there is no restroom that is easy to get to without cross traffic. One of my guests asked if we could take her to the restroom. The lady said “No, I don’t have a public restroom.” My guest then said, “Well do you have one as a customer I could take her.” (Many shops post “no public restrooms” but if there is a shopping customer they allow it and I have never had a child turned down for any restroom anywhere as everyone understands how hard it is for a 3 year old to hold it). My guest was respectful when she asked and the lady removed her glasses and said, “ I do not have a restroom.” I gathered my other guest and as she had a customer purchasing something I said as we were headed out the door, “I’m really disappointed by that as she is only 3 years old and I’ve shopped here many times.” (I was respectful when I said it but hoping she might rethink it. I did not wait until the customer left as I did not want a 3 year to wet herself.) She threw her hands up and became irate saying well I’ll go clear the bathroom out, and I’ve got a customer” ! It was clear she was unreasonable and very irritated by the request. I did not stay as she continued and I needed to find a bathroom quickly. I could understand if we had walked in and asked for a restroom. I could understand as an adult if it’s just me to some extent. I can not understand if it’s a small child, you have a restroom, you are shopping, and the quality of empathy, power of reasoning, and good business judgement normally moves someone to bend a policy that is bendable easily for good customers in this situation. Her response to the request was unreasonable. Not because I had to leave but more so because she was very interested in us as we looked at products we wanted to buy and so unkind about a restroom for a 3 year old. I’ve been here most of my life. Kindness and hospitality has always been our signature trait. It was not here today. If you shop here do not bring little ones or make sure you will not have any reason to need a restroom for any reason as this will illicit an unreasonable response to a perfectly normal request."

"This is the most aesthetically pleasing shop I have visited in Wilmington. I came to search for vintage ornament with my daughter one day last week, and we were not disappointed. There is a great variety of beautiful items to chose from. The furniture is mind blowing - beautiful. The time and attention to detail in each vendors booth is perfect and we really enjoyed looking at everything. If we had the money we would’ve bought a lot more. I was very pleased with the several ornaments and vintage earrings we did purchase. The lady behind the counter was extremely friendly and outgoing (thank you, for this, customer service is a lost art these days) so nice to have a friendly face talk to us. We will definitely be back, as this is a new favorite for us both!"
