We came to the Island Inn for a weekend of fun and relaxation, and that is exactly what we got! Our room, while not luxurious, was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed having both a refrigerator and microwave. The room was cleaned promptly each day, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We also used the wireless internet in our room.... more

We stayed the weekend before Labor Day. The room was clean and comfortable. Location was not far from the beach and the front desk was friendly. Also I left an item behind and they called to let me know and then mailed it to me. Great value. more

I'll admit that I was a little leary of this place, just because the rates were so cheap. When we arrived, and walked into the room, I was pleasantly surprised! The decor is definitely very beachy and colorful, and I loved the tiles floors and wood paneling on walls/ceilings. The room was very clean and had everything we needed to... more

The Island Inn is the furthest thing from a 5 Star Hotel. But if you are looking for nice place to sleep with friendly service, then this is the place for you. My Fiance' and I stayed there for a week and we absolutely loved it. The beach was a short walk from the Inn and there were shops and... more

My family and I always go to Surf City for a few nights when we go and visit family in Raeford. We ended up staying 4 nights this vacation and they upgraded us to a bigger room when we got there which was awesome. It is quite, and just a 30 second walk to the beach. They also have a... more

We make the trip from Ohio to the Surf City/Topsail Island area for our summer vacation almost every year, and we would never stay anywhere else but the Island Inn! The Inn is a minute walk from the beach if that. It is also within walking distance to most of the Surf City restaurants, shops, and fishing pier etc. The... more

My wife & I travel through N.C. once a year and make it a point to go out of our way to stay at this place. The service is great, the rooms are kozy, and the view is spectacular. One of the managers personally made sure we enjoyed our stay. We thankyou Christine from the bottom of our hearts. Will... more

I am a travel agent who uses Trip Advisor quite often to check on hotels. It usually works but not this time. We spent 2 weekend nights here in August and it was a big disappointment. We were told there would be internet which there was not. They nickel and dime you to death and it is very cramped unlike... more

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Island Inn. It is very close to the beach (less than a block) and a good value for the money. We stayed in a room with a single queen size bed which had both a refrigerator and a microwave. The room was pretty and painted in beach house type colors but it... more

The room was clean and provided a microwave, coffee maker, and mini-fridge. There was no phone in the room and the hotel does not offer any type of internet service (no Wi-Fi in the area either). The bathroom was very small and the shower stall had a slow drain so it filled up with water. The front desk staff is... more
