I just visited the Island Inn this past weekend with my husband. We decided to be whimsical and at the last minute (a couple of days prior to our stay) booked a single room with one queen-size bed. Topsail Island is not the most elegant of places when it comes to lodging, so we were very surprised to find this... More

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful 7 day visit to Surf City. Our stay at the Island Inn was great!! The rooms were very clean as well as efficient. The pool is terrific! The owners and the staff were friendly and helpful. We couldn't believe that it was so nice for the amazing price! We will definitely... More

We decided to take a trip to Topsail for our anniversary and stay at the Island Inn. When we originally called there was only a room with two queen beds available. The owners told us they would contact us if a one bed became available. When we arrived, we had a one bed room, much to our surprise! We were... More

We stayed at the Island Inn and we were so surprise of how clean and quiet the hotel is. A couple of week prior to going to the Island Inn, we were in a 4 stars resort in the Caribbean and let me tell you, the Island Inn was more clean, the towels were more spring smelling fresh, if you... More

For a spur of the moment trip to Topsail we were able to book a room at the Island Inn and were very satisfied with our stay. The room was very clean, no sandy floors or gritty showers, and we were pleased with the firm mattress and the quality of the appliances (TV, microwave, and refridgerator). The staff was pleasant...

Stayed here recently for an overnight at the beach. The room was small but clean and the staff was nice. The pool was full of children, not a problem for me I raised 3, but the cigarette smoke was a bit overwhelming. More

It almost felt as though you were staying in a nice rental house insted of an hotel. The room was spotless, (nice up to date remodling!) air... More

We stayed several nights in a small, dark but very clean room with a picnic table outside our door that came in very handy for sorting shells and drying beach towels, etc. This is certainly not a luxurious place but does offer a sparkling clean pool in case you're not interested in walking across the street to access the beach...

We fell in love with Island Inn the first time we saw it. It depends on what your needs are for the beach, but for us this is Just Perfect. We are close to the ocean. They take Great Care of us. We love the fact it is simple and restful and clean. We have a place to wash the... More

Our room was in the dark corner. It was small but I felt claustrophobic. The beach is across the street, which was good but when the tide came in, there wasn't much beach to walk on. Bring some towels if you wash your hair - only two towels per room. More

We could not make the rooms any larger, therefore the picnic tables outside. As for the towels, if you need extra all you have to do is ask. We gladly supply extra towels at no extra charge. Try our best to make sure everyone is comfortable and have what they need. More
