About Alvin's Island - Destin #749

Alvin's Island - Destin #749 offers a wide array of beach necessities, souvenirs, and apparel right in Destin, FL. While some shoppers praise the great deals, extensive selection, and friendly staff members like Katie and Lisa, many reviews cite inconsistent pricing, misleading "outlet" claims, and notably poor or unprofessional customer service from various employees. This location suits general tourists seeking a broad range of vacation items, though visitors should carefully verify all prices and expect a highly variable service experience.

The Good

Customers frequently praise the great selection of merchandise, including souvenirs, clothing, and beach necessities. Many reviewers noted finding great deals, good prices, and excellent sales, especially during off-season clearance. Specific staff members (Katie, Lisa, Britany Johnson) were highlighted for being friendly, helpful, and providing great customer service. The store is also noted for being clean and having a fast checkout process.

Things to Consider

Significant negative feedback centers on extremely poor and rude customer service from multiple employees, including staff being unresponsive, talking amongst themselves in another language during transactions, and displaying unpleasant or judgmental demeanor. Several customers felt misled by 'Outlet Store' signage, stating prices were standard or high, and reported instances of price discrepancies or potential scams at checkout. Other issues included a lack of men's shirts, a broken bathroom with no staff available to help, and a severe lack of concern regarding ADA accessibility when a customer had a mobility issue. One review cited poor quality boogie boards that broke immediately, coupled with a strict no-return policy.
