An exceptional opportunity to acquire a rapidly growing coastal-themed lifestyle boutique located in one of Hilton Head Island’s premier shopping, dining and entertainment destinations.
Operating from an attractive 975-square-foot retail location, the boutique has developed a distinctive identity and loyal following among Hilton Head residents, part-time residents and the Island’s substantial visitor market.
The store offers a carefully curated selection of cotton apparel, nautical gifts, home décor, baby items, jewelry, tote bags, pet accessories, greeting cards and personalized merchandise, including custom patches, hats and totes.
Its merchandise mix emphasizes unique, island-inspired products and includes women-owned brands, handmade products, Made-in-the-USA merchandise, eco-friendly brands and companies that give back to their communities.
The boutique has become more than simply a retail store. It regularly participates in and hosts sidewalk sale weekends, artist pop-ups and community meetups, helping build a loyal local customer base while also benefiting from its prime tourist location.
STRONG 2026 GROWTH
The business has experienced significant growth in 2026.
During 2025, its first full calendar year of operation, the business generated approximately $320,000 in net sales.
For January through July 2026, actual sales reached approximately $331,000 — already exceeding total sales for the entire 2025 calendar year.
Based on current performance, 2026 sales are projected to reach approximately $540,000.
This growth has been achieved despite limited store hours, creating meaningful opportunities for a new owner to further expand the business.
