This place was decent, we had a good experience in general and I would recommend to someone but with full disclosure. The rate is apparently based only on the oceanside location and maybe size of the room, nothing else that would persuade us to pay that amount again. It about killed us to do so for what we got, but... more

I am a native of Emerald Isle and stayed at the Islander for a family reunion. My 3 day stay was nothing like I thought it would be. They have updated the rooms but definately not the hotel staff. Rooms were spacious and being on the beach was great. The pool was very nice at night. The noise level in... more

Bath tub didn't drain - so requested maintenance - which was corrected but smelled so bad had to leave the room. Stained sofa so dirty looking - requested an extra sheet to put over it so we could sit without feeling yucky. Broken lamp! Only one night table - other side of bed nothing!!! No outside phone service or internet... more

Check in was easy and front desk pleasant. The outdoor porches were shady and pleasant with nice seating and great views of the ocean. Great access to the beach. Ice was plentiful and accessible. Didn't use the laundry facilities, but they were close and available. Pool was small ( but great for both kids and adults) . It had nice... more

Stayed for a few nights before the 4th of July holiday rush. Standard room was spacious and fully satisfied what we needed. Bathroom is small, but didn't really need a bigger one. The small refrigerator is a great touch. Beach access is really convenient with this hotel and it does get crowded due to the public beach access right next... more

Loved this place and will come again. Customer service was the best, especially Dan. Rooms were clean, big & loved the big plasma TV. Also the free computer in the reception area was a life saver! Thank you! more

This is truly a hidden gem. We arrived for a couple of days at the beach and were able to book a room without a reservation on a Sunday night. We were given a second floor corner room that had great views of the ocean and pool. The room was very charming - decorated in a cottage style with two... more

We took an impromptu trip over a weekend in April with no destination or hotel in mind. We stumbled across this hotel through our GPS system's "POI" locator or we would not have known it was there. It is one block off the main road. We were pleasantly surprised. Arriving on a Friday afternoon, we were able to book a... more

We're glad you were able to find us! We are abit tucked away back by the ocean. We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay and we hope you will visit with us again. Look for big changes in the Lobby/office building in the next year or two. We hope to have the old building torn down and new one in...

We stayed for a week last summer and we loved every second of it. We walked to the pier every day at least once. There is a lot to do in this area... enough that we are going back again this year. Oh, and make sure you visit Fort Macon... more
