I think the Inn should forewarn customers of the lack of elevators. I did fine, but not everyone would be able to handle the stairs.

Love how quiet and private the beach is here. Nothing flashy here. Just the beach and a decent room. Close to Jerrys grocery and Doc Fords. What more could you ask for. Staff is friendly and rooms are nice overall. Only complaints was the AC not working which we did not realize until later when we got back from dinner. Too late to really get anything done about it. The furniture in this room was little dirty. Could use a steam cleaning. We will come back because overall it is what we are looking for. Beachfront. Remember that this area has a lot of damage still unattended to from the hurricane. Keep that in mind. A lot of fenced in construction type scenery.

The island still has a lot of construction needing to be done and areas are rundown but the Island Inn was wonderful. The room was perfect and their hospitality was fantastic. I would definitely stay there again.

Fantastic little spot
Fantastic little spot. The room is more like a condo than a hotel-all with views of the beach Everything was spotless and new. Ned was comfortable. Love that there was a table and chairs on the screen patio. Will definitely be back!
