Refund policy
Ocean Daydreams || Return Policy
At Ocean Daydreams, many items are handmade with love and care by Abby, a small business owner dedicated to bringing you unique, high-quality beachwear, beauty products, and jewelry inspired by the Florida coast. We want you to be absolutely delighted with your purchase!
However, as a small, independent business, our return policy is designed to balance customer satisfaction with the realities of managing handmade inventory and operations. Please review the following details carefully before making a purchase.
Our 14-Day Return Window & Contacting Us
We accept returns under specific conditions within 14 days of your item's delivery date. To initiate a return, you must contact Ocean Daydreams first by completing our online contact form. Please include your order number and a brief explanation of your return request. We will review your request and provide instructions on how to proceed.
Conditions for Returns

- The item(s) must be unused, unwashed, in their original condition, and in their original packaging with all tags attached (for apparel).
- You are responsible for the return shipping costs. We recommend using a trackable shipping method as we cannot be responsible for lost return shipments.
