Ace Hardware on the Beach is a friendly, locally owned and operated store committed to being "the Helpful Place." Customers praise its outstanding and knowledgeable staff, noting there are so many people to help you, which offers a stark contrast to big box stores where you cannot find anybody. The service is personal, quick, and convenient, allowing you to get in, get help, and get out. This hardware store has it all, from paint and adhesives to replacement parts for both old school equipment and new popular items. If they do not have something, they will order it for you. Beyond products, they provide many other valuable services, such as programming key fobs quickly and for a reasonable price, rewiring lamps, and sharpening knives—services big box stores typically will not do. As an independently owned Ace, spending here stays within the community. A long-time customer of over 30 years states you always leave this store better off than when you entered, never leaving disappointed. It is a wonderful, friendly local place.
