What guests say
9.3 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 128 guest reviews
Island Inn earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its prime beachfront setting, spacious well-appointed suites, and direct beach access — with several guests pledging to return. The most consistent caveat is that significant post-hurricane construction remains underway, affecting the grounds and leaving the pool unavailable, and guests felt this was not sufficiently communicated prior to arrival. Those who looked past the building site found the completed units exceptional.
