The room was not as nice as shown on the web site. Bathroom door needed planing. It had to be shut hard to close thus waking people up when going to bathroom at night. TV cable was lousy at best. Fan on AC had one low speed. No blackout curtains. Had doors adjacent to other rooms and thus could hear people in the adjacent rooms. Book at own risk.

Breakfast was very good. Elevator inoperative. Hauling luggage up and down 2 flights of stairs unacceptable. Had to walk thru 6 buildings to get to the ice machine. Towels skimpy and shabby. Pillows old and worn. No room service. Only had 2 hangers in closet. Thin walls, noisy. Same for noise from upstairs. Phone did not work .

Was my first time staying there. I was very impressed with the complex. The rooms were great. Nice breakfast available in the mornings. The walk to the beach and two pools indoor and outdoor and adjoining rooms. It was everything that I look for in a vacation spot!

According to property details, there was an elevator being a senior citizen that would be helpful. When we got to the end, they stated that the elevator was out of service and would be repaired by the busy season, which I’m assuming was Memorial Day weekend also in the details, they mentioned a tiki bar poolside. This was also closed for the season. The only issue that we had was having to carry our bags up two flights of stairs. Other than that we were very pleased with Islander Inn and we will be returning next year, hopefully the elevator will be working.

I would recommend for a short term stay. It is dated but our room was clean. The staff was nice enough to call us after they received our reservation to tell us the elevator was out of order, we stayed anyway. Beautiful view, close to the beach, nice pool. Basic but served our two day, two night stay.

As a solo traveler, I often look for a place to stay that is quiet, safe updated. The Islander Inn far exceed my expectations. The interior was freshly painted. The layout was open and clean. I enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pool and jacuzzi. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. I felt very safe walking on the beach before the sun rose and after the sun set. I will be staying at The Islander Inn the next time I visit Ocean Isle.

Pretty average “motel like” property. Lots of renovations happening, fresh paint smell in most areas. Sloppy paint job left behind paint on floors and sideboards. Bathroom needed a better cleaning. Long hairs in the shower, on the walls and on the doorframe. Microwave is old and rusted. The space overall was nice and the walkout balcony was very nice to have. Felt a bit overpriced for the condition. Front desk attendant was pleasant.
