As a solo traveler, I often look for a place to stay that is quiet, safe updated. The Islander Inn far exceed my expectations. The interior was freshly painted. The layout was open and clean. I enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pool and jacuzzi. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. I felt very safe walking on the beach before the sun rose and after the sun set. I will be staying at The Islander Inn the next time I visit Ocean Isle.

Pretty average “motel like” property. Lots of renovations happening, fresh paint smell in most areas. Sloppy paint job left behind paint on floors and sideboards. Bathroom needed a better cleaning. Long hairs in the shower, on the walls and on the doorframe. Microwave is old and rusted. The space overall was nice and the walkout balcony was very nice to have. Felt a bit overpriced for the condition. Front desk attendant was pleasant.
