The staff was really friendly. Loved the location, we plan on staying here again in the future. In the room they have a book of menus to the restaurants in the area along with directions to them. This was really helpful in deciding where we should go. We enjoyed our stay :)

This place was close to the beach which is exactly what we were looking for. Another plus was it was walking distance to food and retail. Customer service was good, we had a concern that was addressed immediately.

This summer was our first time visiting Surf City, and I am quite glad we chose the Island Inn for our stay. The price was excellent, the location was great (perfect would have been overlooking the beach, but this was more than acceptable), the rooms were clean and the staff and owner treated us well.

We were visiting our son at Camp Lejuene in Jacksonville and added a couple extra days for a mini-vacation for our anniversary. Our son was able to stay with us one night before he had to leave. Fortunately when we made our reservation, they did not have a single bed room left so they split the cost of the double... More

Location was great. Rooms were small but clean. I really liked the outdoor space provided to each guest (picnic tables, hooks for drying beach gear, and rocking chairs). However after I left I was charged with a “lost” room key charge of 10 dollars. The owner texted me to ask where I placed the key. I informed her that I... More
