My friend and I came for a girls trip, we stayed 5 days. The hotel staff is friendly and welcoming. We were able to barrow beach chairs, towels, and a beach umbrella daily. We could walk directly across the street to access the beach. The pool at the hotel is beautiful and there are tons of chairs surrounding it to use. Housekeeping kept our rooms clean and provided fresh towels daily. There are some really good restaurants in walking distance. We had an amazing stay. We would come again and recommend to anyone!! We ? Island House Resort Hotel!!

Room was the cleanest of any hotel or resort we have ever visited. Rooms are spacious, pool is clean, and office staff (Kelly, Diane and Tanya) are very kind, courteous and extremely helpful making our stay all that much more enjoyable. The maintenance man (Azarel) was also very helpful and was available for any of our needs. Overall, a great experience and is now our "go to" hotel for this area . Thank you Island House Resort Hotel...

Very nice and clean rooms. Great location. There is beach access right across the street. They had beach chairs and towels to use for the beach. Beautiful pool area. Definitely would stay here again.

What a great hotel. The rooms are absolutely beautiful. Everything looks brand new. The staff here is so kind and helpful. They have everything you need for a fantastic beach vacation. I will stay here again and recommend this place to everybody. Wonderful!!!

This motel is across the street from the beach and they have chairs you can borrow to take to the beach with you. The kitchenette came in handy, the rooms are large and very clean and there are grills there that you can use. Every employee was lovely and the caretaker is very sponsive to any issues that may arise. Would definitely stay here again.

I am fortunate to have been introduced to Island House through my wife and her family. It truly is a special place. The service is amazing, the amenities are perfect, warm pool, laundry facilities, game room and of course the white silky sand of Crescent Beach!

We only stayed one night but would absolutely come back next time! The ladies in the office are so sweet and helped us with anything we needed! The room was clean and beds were comfy! The gulf is walking distance. The area was hit with hurricane Helene and we could tell the people were so humbled! Will definitely be back..

?????????? This is not my first time staying at The Island House, and I truly hope it won’t be my last. From the moment we arrive, it feels less like a place to stay and more like coming home. The people who run this place are simply incredible. I honestly can’t say enough good things about them. Every time we come to the beach, they welcome us like family. They are genuinely kind, thoughtful, and caring — it feels like spending the week surrounded by friends. The property is always spotless, well-maintained, and clearly cared for with so much pride and love. What makes this place extra special is the personal connection. Four years ago, my daughter ate all the chocolate — and the fact that they still remember us and treat us like family says everything you need to know about the people here. That kind of hospitality is rare. My heart goes out to them after being hit so hard by the hurricane, but I’m incredibly grateful they’re still here and continuing to do what they do best. Big resorts can keep their money — family-owned businesses like this offer something far more valuable: warmth, authenticity, and unforgettable memories at a price that makes it even sweeter. The Island House will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we feel so blessed to be able to return. If you’re looking for a place that feels welcoming, clean, and filled with genuine hospitality, this is it. ? Edited ?? I do want to add this, because I’ve seen some of the reviews — and I think perspective matters. If you’re looking for a high-priced, ultra-modern hotel with luxury branding, wall-mounted shampoo bottles, and a completely updated 2025–2026 aesthetic, this probably isn’t the place for you. And that’s okay. But if you’re looking for something far more meaningful — a family-friendly, come-home feeling, a place where you’re known, remembered, and genuinely cared for — this is exactly that place. Some parts are a bit outdated, but that’s part of the charm. It feels like being at the beach the way it used to feel: simple, comfortable, and full of heart. I personally appreciate not having those shared, wall-mounted toiletries that everyone touches. What matters to me is that everything is clean, well cared for, and thoughtfully maintained — and it always is. This isn’t about flashy upgrades; it’s about hospitality, kindness, and creating a space where families can relax and make memories. This place feels like coming home. It’s warm, welcoming, and real — and that’s something you can’t put a price tag on. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll love it just as much as we do. ?

What a wonderful stay, Ms. Di at the front desk was very kind and helpful. Who goes to the beach in December, this lady right here! I booked my girlfriend and I an anniversary trip here and our stay was absolutely perfect. This hotel is located in the best location directly across from the beach, room was spotless and spacious! We will definitely be staying here again and referring friends/family members to stay here in the future!!!!

This place is Amazing! It's similar to being on a tropical island. Small little animal statues everywhere. A nice place to grill, very comfortable beds....and the pool is heated. The rooms are all clean and designed very well. When you smell the towels they don't have that dingy smell like some hotels....they are fresh like new. The staff is very friendly and treats you like family.
