We checked in at 330pm. Got to the room and it had a sour smell. The mini fridge didnt work and the blinds were broken. We got our swim wear on and checked out the indoor pool where it smelled like rotten eggs. We checked out the hot tub and only one jet worked. We overlooked all this and went to get dinner. We got home around 8 and the noise was insane. The walls are paper thin and the adjoining room had a screaming baby. The room above us sounded like they were bowling. We heard everyone coming and going on the stairs. We waited till about 9 and then called the office to see if we could change rooms. They were fully booked so we decided to leave at 930 and checked out. We had booked a two night stay and only were there for 6 hours. We drove 5 hours each way for 6 hours. I called the next day to see if it was possible to get a refund for the second day. They said the manager would call me back. Its been two days with no call or refund. I would not recommend staying here. The pictures online make it look like a five star resort but in reality it hasnt been updated since the 80's.

Check in/out was easy, and very short walk to the beach, pool area close to room.The washer and dryers was out of order. Continental breakfast was sufficient typical bagels, toast, cereal and waffle maker. The hotel definitely is in need of renovations, it’s older and the pool needs to be resurfaced it has several spots where the concrete has broken up and can be unsafe. For smokers, you can either go to the Parking Garage or the beach. The elevator works but very slow and is infested with gnats. I’m a person who doesn’t like musty smells and I purchased air freshener and a citronella candle for the balcony. They need to spray for insect's, we ordered pizza to be delivered and the gnats were getting in our food.

We have stayed here several times and enjoyed the quiet and quaint hotel. However this time we found it lacking. The sheets felt like sandpaper and we could feel the springs in the mattress. This time we had a second story room and learned there is no sound proofing between the floors. It sounded like a herd of elephants above us till two am! There were a lot of little things like rusty toilets that need attention. I am sad to say unless there’s some upgrades we probably won’t be returning.

This was our first trip to OIB and we really enjoyed our stay at the Islander Inn. It was perfect for the two of us and it was convenient to many local restaurants and ice cream spots. Which are important to us. The breakfast was a nice added bonus. The rooms were clean and we had a balcony to the beach which was our favorite feature. Parking was great as we were able to park directly under our room. Very nice place over all. We would definitely stay here again. The only thing that wasn't great for us was the bed. We just couldn't get comfy. This could totally just be the preference we have for a bed, it was clean and that was most important.

Affordable beach front property. One building is dog friendly. A lot of families so it was a little loud but probably not in every room (we could hear through the adjoining door). It's a simple inn, right on the beach, no complaints. Breakfast is included- also very simple but a few "hot" options along with the standard yogurt and bagel selection. Shopping, dinning, and putt putt all very walkable (less than 1/2 mile) and good sidewalks.
