Had an awesome experience there. Rooms were clean and neat. The management and staff are very friendly. The water is hot to my liking. Will definitely return. Short walk to the beach.
Went down for a short birthday weekend getaway, booked a condo on Airbnb and it was one of the easiest check in processes I’ve ever had. This place is great! Walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and bars! The staff are all super friendly and the room was spotless and very roomy and comfortable. I’ll definitely be staying here again!
Room was very clean and the staff were amazing from check in to check out.They were very friendly and super accommodating. The best experience we have had with staff. Hospitality goes a long way.The location is excellent within walking distance to the beach and dining/ shopping. Our family had a great time and will definitely return. Five star service on a budgeted price.Highly recommended .
I had a very nice stay here during my vacation! I got there after closing time, since they were closing early, but I had no issue getting my key to my room! This is not a beachfront property, but you are definitely within a short walking distance of the beach, so that's not a deal-breaker to me! They have a pool and a lobby and I think some vending machines spread out somewhere, and the rooms are basically like miniature beach condos as far as how they're decorated!
Clean, spacious rooms with a kitchenette. The entire property is well maintained. The staff is friendly and attentive. Plenty of free parking. Impressive Wifi speed for a motel - no problem streaming video on our laptops. Nice pool. Family oriented - zero noise between 10 PM and 8 AM. We have stayed at several other places in Atlantic Beach, but the Island Inn will be our destination on all future trips. This place is a great value.
This was out 2nd time at the Island Inn. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. We love being able to walk to everything. There is never any trouble with noise or parking. We have been happy guests both times! Would recommend if you’re looking for convenience and charm at a reasonable price point.
Very pleasantly surprised. I remember this place from years and years ago, very shady back then. They have done an outstanding makeover of this place. Rooms are clean and bright, service was top notch and everyone we ran into was so pleasant. Cute pool area and would have had no idea it was a pet friendly place as everything is so well maintained. Very much plan on returning.
Very spacious rooms! Close to the beach. Lots of little shops to check out. Really friendly and helpful staff!!
