We really enjoyed the location. Able to walk to town very easily. Beach just right outside of the outdoor pool area. Simple and clean rooms. Super convenient snacks, variety of affordable mixed drinks, sodas and snow cones available at the poolside bar - bartender was very friendly. Breakfast was a welcomed plus - cereals, breads, waffles, apples, bananas and yogurt - easy and quick. Be prepared for the stairs up to the rooms but the covered parking & beach/island views are worth the climb.

This place a a true piece of heaven. The rooms are clean and well set up. The television has a bunch of channels, and the WIFI is strong. Also, the A/C units keep the room cool. Also, the mini fridge and microwave are very convenient. You cannot beat the location to the beach, restaurants, museums and parks. After a long day at the beach, we really enjoy the pool area and Tiki Bar. Parking here is also very convenient, and once you park, you can walk to just about everything in the area. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. This is our 4th year of coming to this property, and every time we are here, we have the best possible experience. I highly recommend booking at this location.

The ocean isle inn is so much more updated, nice and clean. Same views. I stayed at both places and the islander inn really disappointed me. Ill be going back to the OI Inn, staff is more friendly and everything is so much nice. Me and the wife never get away alone so I was very disappointed with my stay.
