“Great Bang for The Buck”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Our first visit to Ocean Isle and we were wonderfully surprised. It was very clean, the staff was courteous, and the amenities were great. The view from our ocean front room was spectacular.. the sound from the surf was relaxing .. and being it was off season, it was very quiet and peaceful. The breakfast room was very cheerful, amply stocked and the malted waffles were delish!! Jessica at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Very easy to get to and not that far away to go for a long weekend. We can't wait to go back next winter and would highly recommend to anyone who visits Ocean Isle to stay at the Islander Inn.

“Enjoyed visit but....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

My toddler son and I visited Ocean Isle beach a couple of weeks ago for the first time. Was looking for a clean, safe and reasonably priced place to stay. Checked around and found the lslander Inn online. I was pleasantly surprised of the great view and the cleanliness and size of the room. It was very nice and quiet for us. The breakfast was fine for what we needed. The staff was very pleasant and accomodating to get us the right room.

However, I was very dissappointed in the lack of hot water/water pressure from the shower. I let the staff know the next morning and a nice man said he checked the hot water. When I returned I asked the woman at the front desk and she said it was fine but let them know if it's not. Well by the time I got my son in the shower, the water would just not warm up- he was freezing. I couldn't leave him in long enough to wash his hair- nor could I wash mine with the lack of pressure!! By this time it was time to put my son to bed, so I didn't see what could have been done. Anyway, I did note this on the comment card but it has been 2 weeks and was dissappointed that I haven't heard back from the management about this. I had also made a comment about the indoor pool- was very nice/cleanand the water was warm- just too cold in the room itself- again- keep it in mind if you have little ones.

Dear Valued Guest,
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our property and to share your experiences. It is only with the feedback and suggestions of guests like you that we can continue to grow and refine our services. We are delighted that you enjoyed the lovely view of the Atlantic and are pleased that you found our staff pleasant, our rooms spacious and clean, and our prices reasonable. We are equally sorry for the issue with the water pressure/temperature and the temperature of the pool room. Our maintenance staff is investigating all reported issues. I would also like to explain that a representative from our corporate office in Wilmington collects comment cards from our locked boxes every two weeks. This precaution is taken to assure the integrity of the feedback system we have in place. A downside of this method is that it takes longer to reply to comments or suggestions. We do hope you understand this matter. Thank you again for visiting the Islander Inn. It is our wish that you will consider our property again on a future trip to Ocean Isle Beach.
Warm Regards,
Marnie Williamson
General Manager

This was our first visit to Ocean Isle and we cannot wait to come back again. Would recommend anyone that comes down to stay at the Islander Inn, we had great service and the people at the desk are very friendly and the room was very clean. Love the view of the ocean from the room.

Room Tip: always choose the room with the ocean front view.

“It's as good as its get at OIB NC”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

If you're looking for a great get-away at a scenic,quaint, and well maintained place, your destination should be the Islander Inn at OIB, NC. The staff there are so supportive and will assist you in any reasonable way. I love this place and look forward to making annual stays there.

Room Tip: The second story rooms are great because you really get a panoramic view of the ocean.
