Welcome to Hurricane Rita Online!

One of your favorite stores is launching its very own online shopping experience!  Hurricane Rita will now offer its selection of handmade gifts for the home at our new website. Right here!

Goods found at our home store in Marathon, Florida at mile marker 52.5 in the Florida Keys include unique hand carved and hand painted sculptures. We also have one-of-a-kind wood and metal sculptures that can be used indoors and out. They make great gifts for your family, your friends or for yourself. Our line of Teak Furniture will beautifully accent your outdoor lifestyle, but also looks great indoors! You can now find this same eclectic collection of home goods online!

We use only 100% lead free paint on our merchandise. Most of our unique items are designed in Florida, and reproduced by Indonesian artisans on the island of Bali where traditional craftsman have been working for over 10 generations.

Due to the nature of our handmade products, colors may vary slightly from their online appearance.

Hurricane Rita has been in business since 1988. (the first store opened in Vero Beach, Florida.)  We've finally made the leap into the electronic age!  So be sure to visit us while you're in the Keys or, if you have to put off that vacation trip, you can get a flavor of the Keys online!  We look forward to seeing you soon!

"Just to let you know after spending an hour in the post office I managed to clear the Bonefish (CW364). They arrived so well packed, hats off to you on this one, there was no damage whatsoever. Martyn has unpacked one of them, the other is a gift to his best friend in the U.K. so we have left this packed. He is highly delighted and said it was a lot better than he expected it to be - so thank you very much and also for the very excellent service you gave us. We shall certainly come back to you again after the service you gave us."

"My husband and I have spent more than a thousand dollars at your store, and I just wanted to say we love your products and will continue to purchase them for ourselves and gifts for friends.  We were just up there on Saturday and bought about $600.00 worth of merchandise.  Glad to see that you are on the internet, though the internet does not do your art justice!  You have to see it to get the feel of it. Loyal and well satisfied customers ..."

"I received my order over the weekend which consisted of the large sail boats and 2 of the clouds with seagulls. I absolutely love them. Your inventory has such a nice selection of items that I can decorate the room and still be able to use the decor later on. My daughter was there when I opened the box, which by the way was extremely well packaged for shipment, and I think you have another customer. She loved the sailboats as well. Thanks for such nice products to choose from. I already have my eye on several other items. Thanks for the
lifeguard chair ornament and pen."
