My family just spent Thanksgiving break there and it was wonderful! So the lobby where you get the key to your room does have to be renovated (what wouldn't be after 100 years!) but the villa we stayed in (villa #8) was of this time period, all new, clean and super spacious! Both bedrooms had a private bathroom with double... more

I gave credit Card information to place a reservation for the Crows Nest. I was told that the card would be charged for 50% of the reserved stay. But if I changed my plans they would credit back the card if I could not make it. (withen 48 Hours of the reservation date).Well I called, to cancel a Month and... more

The Island Inn web site is as untruthful as possible. We arrived around 5pm to find our keys taped to the door, after walking by garbage and junk. Our room was supposed to be a big beautiful room which we had payed dearly for in advance - by a charge to our credit card. The anticipated big and nicely renovated... more

I underline all the lines the previous writers have contributed. All of that is true - happened to me as well. They charged us an unbelievable price in advance and then didn't have the courage to face us - fully aware we would complain. Fully aware of the filth and mold, the absolutely outrageous price they dared to charge for... more

Do not waste your time or money on this place. The exterior of the Inn and the yard itself was very nast. We stayed in room 5 and only because there was nothing else available at the last minute on the island. Our room was very old and outdated, the lamp had bulbs in it that were to big and... more

The Island Inn web site is based on lies. We arrived in the late afternoon to find our keys taped to the door, after walking by garbage and junk. Our room was supposed to be a big beautiful room. Instead you walked into mildew, mold, carpet rot, holes in the walls were old non-functioning air conditioners (surrounded by cob webs)... more

First off, do not stay here. You will be waisting your money. You are better off spending forty dollars for the NPS campgroud. My girlfriend and I stayed here because it was the only available place on the Island. There are reasons why it was available. Upon arriving, we found our keys taped to the door of the main office.... more

We made reservations in July 2008 for Sept. 2008, but needed to cancell which we did in august more than 20 days when we were to arrive. Ocracoke island inn took our credit card number, which I assume like all other places was to hold the reservation, instead they credited our credit card 289.00!. We cancelled in the alloted time... more

Although the Island Inn Villas are in a decent location and are large and well equipped, any value they offer is undermined by the poor standards of cleanliness. The hotel shows a hygiene score of 97% but I have no idea how it got that.... the reception smells overpoweringly of dog, and there were stripy animal hairs on the 'clean'... more

We stayed in the villas/condos. Ours was well-equipped and clean, but there was mold in the bathroom. It was great to go off season - the island is very quiet and relaxing. If you stay in a villa/condo, bring your own food, because there is only one restaurant open. The high rating is for the overall atmosphere of the island,... more
