Islander Motel

Once again, we had a fantastic weekend at the Islander. I believe this was our third stay here, each time celebrating our wedding anniversary. We've always loved the location (walking distance to a lot of shops and restaurants) and the peace and quiet (well off busy, noisy Hwy. 158). But the main reason we keep coming back is the service. Jessica and the staff always go out of their way to take good care of us. They always treat us like family and that means a lot. Yes, there are bigger, fancier, newer hotels on the Outer Banks, but I'll wager none come close to the Islander as far as making visitors feel at home. That's why we keep coming back.

The Islander Motel has been our home away from home for 19 years now!! We absolutely love it here. Amazing owner and staff. The Motel is very clean with the most comfortable beds! It has a great heated pool and swings to relax in. The 1st floor has a kitchen. You're right on the oceanfront with private access to the beach. We now come twice a year.

My whole experience was exceptional. The room was clean, staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Ocean view was spectacular. Easy access to the beach or lounge by the pool. I plan on returning.

This is such a cute little hotel. Whenever we come to nags head, we always stay here and we will continue to do so moving forward. Only thing I wish they had was a hot tub!! 😂😉 Has a beautiful view of the ocean with a super short walk and it’s close to a lot of shops, grocery stores, gas stations, etc.

We love this little beachfront hotel with vintage vibes! We have been coming here with our family for years. In fact, my husband has been coming here since he was very young, and now we bring our own kids. The staff are so friendly and go out of their way to make sure your stay is relaxing. The rooms are always clean with comfy beds. We usually stay on the first floor and have a kitchenette (stovetop, microwave, mini-fridge with freezer—just enough to ensure you don’t have to eat every meal out and can save some cash). The pool is perfect for little swimmers and adults alike, but being just a set of stairs away from the beach is fantastic. We also appreciate that it’s just a short walk to The Dunes Restaurant and Fat Boyz Ice Cream. Parking and loading/unloading is easy with the wagons pro
