We've been coming to the Islander for 5 years now, and we'll keep coming back as long as we can. If you're looking for a hotel/motel in the Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, or KDH area, and you're traveling with children, the Islander can't be beat. The management, office staff, maintenance and cleaning staff are all so friendly and remember us from year to year. The grounds are beautifully kept. Although the rooms are older, they are clean and well-maintained. Other locations on the beach don't allow children on top floors (the only location where you truly have an ocean view), but the closed porches here negate that issue. Convenient to lots of restaurants and things to do. Beautiful, clean beach just steps away. Staff even arranged fireworks on the last night of our visit!!!!
