Nice place to stay

We were only there for two days, but the room was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful. Unlike some other places, the walk to the beach was short and easy. It did say on the website that there was a bar by the pool, and we saw the building, but it was not open while we were there. Just would have been nice to have notice it was not available. But, that is not going to keep us from coming back since I have already booked for a weekend in August.

We just stayed there the week of july 4 and overall great experience.Within walking distance of everything you could possibly need or want. The park, arcade, shops, pier and ice cream was awesome!! The ocean BEAUTIFUL, along w the views from where we were. However, if u stay, you want a ocean view, close to the pools, as many buildings there actually are, add ons would be a definite, pools and bar AWAY from the pool, that was the main negative the bar is right by the outside pool, to close, and the pools stayed packed w the same ppl noone else could hardly partake. However it was very quiet considering how many ppl were there, parking needs to have an all stay parking spot, we would leave then come back and not have nowhere to park... So parking needs to have parking slots that are your designated parking spot or spots for a group . And brooms in the rooms!!!! Other than that totally worth the money.... Oh and free breakfast helps but not being able to bring food in your rooms when the kitchen is packed, not cool!!!! I will say ocean isle has rules like no other beach I have ever been to, dont spend or waste any money on any type of shelter but a shaboomy or umbrella bc nothing else is allowed...very picky choosy who they say anything to as well, which is not cool..if your going to have rules, it should be posted on their website and for everyone!!!! Need to be staying somewhere w beach access, if not pay to park and hardly anywhere to park due to all the developments!!!

Time Away

We loved everything about the Islander Inn, except the beds were terrible. Both indoor and outdoor pools were great. We loved the pool having a view of the ocean and there were plenty of pool lounge chairs. The snack bar was a nice addition to the pool area. It was a wonderful place to stay and we would go back again. Hopefully they will improve their mattresses.

This was our second time staying at the islander but our first time with an ocean front room. The balcony and ocean view was DEFINITELY worth the price alone. The rooms were clean and AC worked well during a giant heat wave. My only criticism was that the rooms are very inconsistent and you never know what you’ll get. The first time we stayed here we had a Roku TV that we could log into streaming on and a freezer compartment in our mini fridge for cooler ice packs. This time we were surprised when we checked in and had neither. We made do without them but it would’ve been nice to know what we were getting and we paid more this time so I expected the same amenities. Overall I would stay again but I will double check on individual room details before check in.

The Inlander Inn staff can not be beat. From the folks at the front desk to the bartender at the bar, everyone was very friendly. It would be nice to have the gate to the pool from the hotel be fixed. I thought I would break it when opening or closing it. The pool got very cloudy by the last day we were there. It could have used a chlorine shock. These are not deal breakers in my book. We'll be coming back.

Ocean front. Close to the pier. Friendly check in. Adequate parking. Nice room layout. Downside, beds weren't great. Walls are thin, but expected in a dated building.

Definitely felt like a beach hotel. Well used, utilitarian, but adequate since easy access to the beach was the main attraction. The two small pools were a good change of pace. Breakfast was only average. Traffic getting on and off the island was terrible, so not having a kitchenette is something to consider. All in all, would stay there again.
