Coastal Hardware LLC 4012 Padre Boulevard, South Padre Island, TX 78597

"It’s a small Island Hardware store so I don’t think one should complain about not having everything you’re looking for but they will have most of it and some you didn’t know you were looking for. The bolt selection is better than the box stores, lots of stainless! It’s annoying that everything is behind a lock on a shelf and you have to find an employee to unlock. But they must’ve had a bad shoplifting experience in the past so I can get over that. The problem is that while most of the employees are helpful and cheerful the whole experience crashes at the cash register. The check out staff is terrible. No smiles, they give the impression that they don’t want to be there or be helping you. I write this post not after my 1 visit to the store but my 6th over a 3 day period at various times of day. Either management treats them poorly so they turn it on the customers or mgmt doesn’t care how they act and are missing a critical piece of the store’s customer experience."

"They aren't Ace hardware anymore but they are super friendly and helpful. Ask for the guy with all of the tattoos. You're welcome."

"Prices are insanely high. Staff all have attitude. Not Ace anymore, and even when they were they did not honor the Ace rewards. No locals discount. No bathroom for customers. Just drive 10 minutes to Sutherlands and save yourself the poor experience you will find here."

"Friendly employees who are happy to help. The store is bright and clean and well organized. Finding what I needed was a breeze. If I need anything again while on the island I'll come here."

"Had great help. Had awesome experience, found all I needed."
