    The location was perfect—right beside the pier and within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and everything we wanted to explore. Our room was fantastic, with an enormous picture window overlooking the ocean and a balcony complete with rocking chairs. Sitting outside listening to the sounds of the waves was incredibly calming. The beds were some of the most comfortable we've slept in while traveling. We also loved the easy beach access, the relaxing pool area, and spending evenings by the fire pit listening to the ocean. One of the highlights was watching deer grazing in front of the hotel near the beach—it was such a peaceful and unexpected sight. If you're looking for a relaxing oceanfront getaway with beautiful views, a great location, and comfortable accommodations, we highly recommend staying here.

    The property has recently redone their whole outdoor area with new decking and a new patio area. We ate all our meals out on the patio. Our room couldn't have had a better view! The rocking chairs on the balcony were comfortable, although it's hard to see the beach through the handrail. The breakfast was okay, if you like pre-packaged manufactured food-like products, much like most hotel breakfasts. Thankfully I brought my own protein sources for breakfast. (I will say, the gal managing the kitchen was lovely and very kind!)

    Upon arrival on the first day the check in was not welcoming. But the overall experience was great. The only suggestions I have was to have a shower locations to rinse off your feet from the beach.The customers was tracking sand in the pool. The smoke locations was ridiculous the room next to ours 125 had the door open and you can clearly smell smoke. Its was even harder to enjoy the beach because of the cigarettes smell blowing towards everyone. I came to spend my birthday weekend with my family I wanted a beach view the only option was the parking lot available. We would love to come back once it's warmer. Cigarettes smell on the beach. No shower locations after coming from the beach Sand in the pool No beach view no balcony Weather was cold and rainy Check in was not welcoming

    Complimentary breakfast was a nice unexpected touch. Being so close to the beach was very convenient. Having a clean bathroom to use downstairs if you needed to go while on the beach is a huge plus. Not having to drag everything to your own room was great. We thought we were getting an ocean front room but it wasn’t.

    It was right on the beach. The breakfast was decent. The pool area was clean and loved all the pools. The beds were comfortable and clean. Loved the overall location in OIB… I didn’t like that there was only one elevator in the middle of the building and we were 4 units away. Didn’t like that they blocked off the underground parking to say they were painting and never painted.

    I loved the hotel because I can sit on the balcony and rocking their blue rocking chair, slept like a rock and they're comfortable beds, and can't wait to come back again and enjoy the pool. They have Continental breakfast which was okay. The room could use some new light fixtures. But other than that it was just fine for what the price of the room was and the location. Will be back.

    Some mildew in the shower, the bottom of the bathroom door was warped and damaged. The breakfast was really just cereal, yogurt and waffles. Those being my only small gripes and not even issues. This place is amazing. Beach front with access. Showers at the edge of the beach to rinse off. Two pools and a hot tub.walking distance to the pier and restaurants.

    Last minute booking and usually do not stay at beach inns. Check in was frustrating due to lecture on parking which can be scarce. Noise level Saturday night was excessive and walls must be paper thin. My wife had a couple of things missing and I can't recall when we have had any concerns about items at risk of being taken. The facility is very clean and the location is great.

It is an older hotel but it doesn’t bother us as the staff is phenomenal.

    The room was clean and the breakfast was good. The main issue was having to park across the street since we arrived later in the evening. Having to haul bags and kids across the street and then having to make sure the car was moved at a specified time the next morning so we wouldn't be towed.

    Visit March 25-28, 2026. Very CLEAN and helpful & polite staff. Great breakfast (7am to 10am)=hard boiled eggs, Chobani yogurt, bagels, individual pastries, waffles, milk, microwaveable sausage biscuits, fruit cups, oatmeal, and cold cereal. Plenty of parking, indoor & outdoor pool (open until 11pm) with towels, wooden walkway to beach has place to rinse off sand (showers & foot showers), close to beach, great view of ocean from our ocean front balcony, comfortable beds, office had beer ($4.50 a can). Ocean Isle has clear water and the town is very clean. Not many places to eat but we found Duffy's Bar & Grill, in Shallotte; prices reasonable, portions large, live music, $5.50 beer, $10-8" sub...worth the 10 minute drive. Office open 24/7; if you need anything the staff at the front desk is so helpful. The staff was so nice! Short walk to the pier; closest place to stay if you want to be by the pier (without renting a house). Cost to walk on pier = $2. Cost to fish on pier with your own poles = $10. Cost to fish on pier with rented poles = $20. There is an outdoor church in the neighboring lot (Sundays at 8:30 am?). Pier has small store where you can purchase beer and snacks; also an arcade for the kids. A couple of surf shops and close to grocery store (Publix). You should not be disappointed if you stay at Ocean Isle Inn.

The woman that worked in the breakfast room was delightful!

    The only negative was the internet. There was bandwidth enough to check your email.

    When we first got to the hotel we met Rebecca, she was friendly and accommodating. The pool was clean and beautiful. The beach was right behind our room which was great. The fire pit was a great addition, just ask the staff to put it on for you. I really liked how up to date and clean the room and the hotel was. I even saw the staff cleaning the exterior room doors, I have never seen anyone ever do that The breakfast area was overlooking the pool which brought in the sunlight. The breakfast was good. I will definitely be back.

    Good location and pretty view. Continental Breakfast- was next to zero choices. Indoor Pool and hot tub were not working. Outdoor pool area had lots of ants. AC in room not working upon arrival but was fixed quickly. Gnats and fruit flies in the room- to the point that there was spray already in the bathroom. Lots of construction seemed to be underway, so hopefully next season the updates will be complete.

    BookEd an extra front room did not receive that was told they were sold out. It was like basically the only hotel within 15 miles and anything near the beach so we just took the room. The gentleman at the front desk was not helpful. The worm side definitely nothing special. I think it’s really nice about the place is the outdoor amenities which we sat outside looked at but did not use because we were only there for one night and I already had plans.

    My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. We went the first week of June Tuesday through Friday. Everything was very clean. It's right on the water, so that's great. There weren't many people on the beach. Maybe because of the timing. Lots of dining options. Inlet View on Shallotte River had amazing mahi mahi and rice. We went to the indoor pool and hot tub twice. One family was in the pool once. We stayed in room 206. The shower was roomy with a good shower head. The AC unit worked wonderfully. We'll definitely stay again!

    There is very limited parking and it is chaotic at best. Cars are everywhere. I was given an adjoining room and my neighbors were up late singing and clapping and it sounded like they were right next to my bed singing in my ear. Also, the water temp in the shower/sink never gets above luke warm. Honestly, this should have been $50/night, not $170. Would not stay here again

Tiny hiccup the morning of checkout we left the room for an early stroll on the beach and returned around 9:45 to grab a shower before check-out, housekeeping was turning out our room (premature & awkward.) Standard Continental breakfast with a super nice attendant. Easy and convenient parking.
