“This oceanfront inn offers direct beach access, indoor and outdoor pools, plus an ocean view from every room; the Tiki bar and central location near the pier are definite advantages. Though bearing some signs of age and smaller bathrooms, it presents a practical choice for shorter stays on Ocean Isle Beach. It's a worthy option for vacationers prioritizing location and amenities.”
