Location is wonderful. Ocean view was beautiful from our balcony with an easy walk out to the beach. Pool is great but closes too early. Would be nice to hang out by the pool at night, especially if the bar was open later. Our room was conveniently located and easy to access. Ample parking. Only major negative was the smell of cigarette smoke every time we went out on our balcony and walking to our car.

Enjoyed our two nights at The Islander Inn. We had an ocean front king room with a balcony and the views were fantastic. Use of the balcony is difficult as the AC unit discharges hot air and is very noisy. Was disappointed that the room didn't offer a ceiling fan, as the AC unit was working fine but the air wasn't being circulated and the bathroom was hot. We would have liked to see the continental breakfast have more options as the only hot item available was waffles and the only fruit available was a banana and they were not ripe enough to eat.

Overall the room was clean and the bed comfortable. We enjoyed time on the beach and at the pool and pool bar was great. The pool area has no shade. This facility is walkable to the pier, park, ice cream, several restaurants, shopping and grocery. We would stay here again and recommend it to friends and family.

This hotel is a great place to stay at Ocean Isle Beach. Located right on the beach. Beautiful views on the oceanside. Affordable, roomy and comfortable accommodations. Quiet except for the sound of the ocean.
A short walk to the pier and to good restaurants.

We also did not have a fork to eat our leftovers from dinner and the staff provided us with some plastic silverware. The room was very clean and we had a beautiful view of the ocean. There were lots of options provided at their continental breakfast. We highly recommend.

A small, nicely run hotel. We had a room with a balcony looking out over the ocean and left our door open at night so we could hear the ocean. Lovely! Room was very clean and comfortable. My only complaint is that because the property is an older one, I could hear my neighbors next door. They had loud kids!!! That said, they were quiet by 11:00 pm. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Oh, and the breakfasts are very limited—cereal, waffles, yogurt, some fruit, bagels, bread, etc.—but okay. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a family-run beachfront hotel. For my part, I love it!

We checked in and were notified that the hot tub didn’t work, not that that mattered because we weren’t going to use it, but just informational; and also had issues with the television. The channels were fuzzy, and the channels kept going out. The only thing we could watch was one show over and over again. The staff said it would be back on, but it never did come back. I stated the repair man never showed up.

In the years since I had last visited, the property has aged significantly. While the room was relatively clean (with the exception of sand on the floor), the rest of the hotel was average at best. The worst part is the noise! Our room had locked adjoining doors on both sides. These might as well have been made of tissue paper. We could hear every conversation and every move our neighbors on both sides made. We barely slept. I realize you get what you pay for, but we got much less.
