903 Seacoast Dr, Imperial Beach“This exquisite shop is one of the jewels in the crown of Coronado. Nicole has traveled the world to select curated treasures, cajoled artisans into customizing their works to synch with her clients tastes and environments, supports local artists and organizations, and has beautiful pieces at every price point to make you happy no matter the occasion or need. It's always a pleasure to enter the shop and see what is new, whether it's a nostalgic kitchen towel embroidered by Nicole's mother with old fashioned recipes, a seaside print or piece of original art, or a bespoke outdoor rug for your special garden space. If I want a hostess gift, a birthday present, or just to refresh a room at home, I head for Sea La Vie.”

2151 Logan Ave, San Diego“If you're visiting Barrio Logan and you don't stop at Casa XoVi you're missing out. I'm down in the area a few times a year and I NEVER MISS IT.The owner is fabulous. Such a wonderful woman and authentic. She cares and will help you get just what you need and what you didn't even realize you needed. Perfect spot for gifts also. The home made delicacies.... I stock up when I'm there.Try it all. You will thank me!I confess that I love the area but a lot of the shops are all selling identical things now and that is why I love Casa XoVi it is still unique.Art, Yummies, decor, gifts, and some of the classic items. Take a basket and let her fill it up and you will have a gift no one will forget.Go early for the best parking. I suggest comfy shoes and park a little ways off as it is more fun walking than fighting for parking. If you're close enough UBER.I feel this ship is a cultural explosion of quality and beautiful products. That with the warm and welcoming environment is pure love. ENJOY..I can't wait to return ?♥️”
“I don't usually do reviews of this type of places but I think it's worth it.We arrived at this place after having breakfast in Little Italy and the atmosphere is perfect, in fact the music and the smell of freshly burnt incense is phenomenal.We bought a ring and some incense that we had been looking for in several places without luck.The variety of artifacts and stones is very good and abundant.The person who assisted us, a bearded guy whose name I forgot to take, was super courteous and friendly!!We'll definitely come back!!”

“Found a couple great items here - for me and my daughter. The associate there could benefit from checking her catty judgement of customers.
Response to the owner: I don't see a way to reply to your response so I'm updating my post. It was either late morning or in the afternoon. I don't have my receipt anymore, but the date was 8/23 and the cc reference # is 6161.”

In fact, it got to be in the top 10 list for being such a splendid and magnificent architecture in the heart of San Diego, offering a place for book lovers, knowledge seekers etc. There are multiple levels with a huge collection of books, computers, secluded areas to focus on one's work and beautiful views of the beautiful city. There is also an auditorium for various types of events adjacent to a small open area. Parking is nothing to worry about. Come, park and enjoy this luxury.”
“Great selection and the quality of the shirts are top notch. My favorite long sleeve shirt now. As well, the owner allowed us to use her phone when we got separated from the others in our group and didn’t have a U.S. phone plan. Thank you…I wish I could do more shopping at your store!”
“Cool little shop, need more variety, maybe a section of patriotic t shirts like Stand for the flag, kneel to take aim. or the 2nd amendment, that kind of stuff. I have to go back, I saw they have lapel pins. I'll be going to a funeral soon and it will be at Miramar and be my 1st not in service dress blues!”

Located in Seaport Village, lots of clothing and all types of souvenirs are up in here. We came in here looking for some shirts, the lady working in here was really nice, and we made a few purchases. Good store!!”
“We had purchased a shark tooth necklace and while on the way back from Cali, I mistakenly threw the bag that held the necklace away. I called asking to buy another and have them mail it to us, and a week later, did so free of charge! Going through a lot at the moment and the man I spoke too - unfortunately never got his name - was extremely kind and made a hard situation just a little better with his kindness and generosity. Safe to say every visit to San Diego will include a stop here! Thank you.”
