We were so happy with everything about this B&B. We didn't want a beach hotel among the noise and craziness but wanted to be close enough to get to the remote stretches of beach to really relax. Island House was the perfect choice to get us away from nighttime noise and just a few minutes from the major thoroughfares. Accomodations were reasonably priced and very, very cozy and comfortable. Ms. Jeanne is a wonderful hostess and provided exceptional breakfasts. We'll be going back....definitely!!

Beach lover in Middle Atlantic? Visit this wonderful B&B on Roanoke Island - away from the crowded beaches of Duck & Kill Devil Hills yet a short (10 min) drive to the gorgeous dunes of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Coquina Beach is a must visit- enjoyed the multitude of private parking areas for beach solitude. The Island House has great "CocaCola" artifacts,comfortable beds (Sleep #)and a truly gracious host. Area also great for biking. Breakfast was thoughtfully prepared with lots of variation; fresh berries and melon were served every day.

We have had the pleasure of staying at the Island House B&B several times over the past 10 years and most recently the end of March for 3 nights. Our suite was beautifully decorated with many antiques and a bed with fluffy pillows, a comfortable mattress, and a beautiful antique quilt. The InnKeepers, Jean and Roy Green, have paid great attention to detail in making sure their guests have all the comforts of home and more. Our room was meticulous! We had our own sitting room with a television, DVD player, and a jaccuzzi in the bathroom. It was so nice to come back in the evening and have a bottle of wine as well as mints waiting for us in our room. Even though the weather was a little cold as it was March, we found plenty of interesting things to do at the house from looking at all the Green's collections, antiques, books, music collection, and watching movies. There is a lovely sun porch where we relaxed and took a nap. Our breakfast every morning was delicious. You could help yourself to a variety of hot or cold foods and special diets were accomodated. When we left to go back home to our hectic work schedule, we were relaxed and better able to cope with our busy lives. We plan to go back to the Island House sometime this summer.

We have stayed at this location many times over the past 12 years or so and have always thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Jeanne is very knowledgeable about the area with regard what to see and where to eat. She does a remarkable job running the business by herself and is always warm and wekcoming and eager to please her guests. Breakfasts are always delicious and Jeanne will also cater to special needs if told ahead of time It has also been a lot of fun meeting the other guests and we have met some really interesting people over the years which can lead to some great conversation at breakfast time.
We have sent several of our friends here over the years and they have always enjoyed their stay at the b and b.
