We love Island Beach Resort - it is our serenity get away. We have been coming every July for the past 3 years with an extra added trip this past March. We just got home from our eight day stay and are already looking forward to going back. The rooms are clean comfortable and provide needed amenities to make it feel like home. Doreen at the front desk is welcoming helpful and accommodating. Cynthia is always there to help make trip comfortable and pleasurable. Its nice to stay somewhere where staff will willingly go above and beyond for your needs with a smile on their faces. Grounds are well maintained restaurant is amazing and location is out of this world. Picture perfect views!!!! Cant wait to return.

Very nice resort featuring daily, weekly or monthly rates. Very cool Shuckers restaurant with great selection of food and bar serving tropical drinks. Quaint gift shop on premises with nice selection of beachy clothes, jewelry, stickers, sea shell art, crystal dangles, cute signs and more. A must visit if you are staying on the beach, shopping or eating out.

Great vacation. Our condo had everything we needed for our two week stay. Great location. Beautiful views. Ocean is easy access right through a gate. Beach chairs were in our room so we did not have to bring our own. Added bonus, Shuckers Restaurant.
