The process of checkin-in took extremely long, since we were paid no attention. Phone conversations were apparantly more important than people at the reception desk. The rooms were after first inspection acceptable, but found trash from previous guests under bed. Housekeeping came daily but vacuum was never used during our 4 day stay. The beach was right behind the hotel... more

We were looking at the Sunspree in Wrightsville but the prices are crazy so we decided to look elsewhere. We came upon this hotel which for us was great value for money. After crossing over the bridge, go to the ocean, and turn right and it's less than 1/2 mile away so convenient. The staff were friendly. The rooms are... more

We just completed a very nice 4 night stay on Ocean Isle Beach. The Islander Inn was just the place for us. We had booked a room at NMB but found out on tripadvisor about the bike week. We wanted rest and quiet. We were very pleased with the Islander and the service. The beach was not crowded and there... more

This was our second stay at the Islander Inn and its hard to believe that it was better than the first. The rooms are spacious and clean, the staff is friendly and eager to please. We were a little disapointed at not staying in an ocean front room, but thats our fault for not booking sooner. What could be better... more

This hotel truly deserves its AAA three diamond rating. I was a bit scared after reading the negative reviews - but when we reached there the hotel exceeded all our expectations. The room was clean; attractively decorated, seemed to be recently renovated; views from the room are EXCELLANT! We had two double beds; balcony faces the ocean - Room service... more

We stayed for 6 nights and loved the beach but were somewhat disappointed with the hotel. During our 6 night stay, the room was NEVER vacuumed! When I asked for extra towels, the staff was rude. The breakfast was ok but one day we did not have any milk--staff did not manage to get milk that day. Not all of... more

We spent 4 nights there. The staff is friendly and helpful and the beach is wonderful. The internet access only worked some of the time, and the included breakfast is not particularly good. Our room and bathroom was small and there was a small balcony facing the ocean. The amenities (shampoo, soap, etc.) were excellent--the equal of 5-star hotels!! I... more

My wife and I planned on staying at Ocean Isle for one week.We called to see if we could get in to the hotel one day early and the hotel said no problem.When we arrived (around 1:00pm),we were told we could not get into our room until 3:00pm.We took the 2 hours to sitesee and eat.The beach and surrounding area... more

I'd like to formally debate the first review of the Islander Inn! Myself, my wife and my newborn son stayed at the Islander Inn in early July. Our first visual arriving near dusk was the stunning sunset coming over the bridge. It was a traffic 'stopper'. Bonus #1. Our second visual upon arrival at the hotel was the proximity to... more
