Fenwick Island is a land lost in time, and the Fenwick Islander Motel reflects that atmosphere. You are neither in Ocean City nor Rehobeth or Bethany, but someplace in between. The Islander is great for families with middlin' age kids: Need to cross a busy road to get to the beach. Teens love it because of proximity of the board... More

I have been coming here for 6 years now and I highly recommend it! I always stay the first week in July for a couple days. They price is usually lower then the other motels/ hotels around. Its very close to the beach, right across the highway, in walking distance. It has a clean pool and very friendly staff. One... More

My daughter and I stayed here during the OC Sunfest September 20 – 23, 2012. This was our third stay. We are always pleased with our stay and look forward to next year. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean and comfortable, very airy feeling with a screen door that can be left open on the... More

My sister and I stayed here over Labor Day weekend. The room was clean and comfortable for the most part, but could use some updating. Big deep drawers in the dressers accommodated everything we brought with plenty to spare. Tub was a bit dirty when we arrived. Not sure if it was just some staining that just can't be removed...

My husband and I stayed at the Fenwick Islander two years ago. It was nice, but was in need of some work. Well, they sure have been working on the place. It is newly painted, inside and out. New ceilings. Just totally freshened up. We had a king-sized bed that was so comfortable, as were the pillows. Neither of us... More

Stopped by to visit family staying here. The motel is very nice from what I saw. My daughter has been here twice and has been quite pleased. Location to the beach is great, one block away. The room was very clean and had nice appointments. The kitchenette has a sink, small refrigerator and microwave...just enough! Each room has a private... More

this was our second visit to the Fenwick Islander Motel in Fenwick Island Delaware . Pool was great. A/C in room was very musty smelling, the room got cold but was very damp the whole visit... possibly we should have complained the first day... maybe they could have changed the unit or moved us. Otherwise, the price was right, its... More

Location is great, pool is great, rooms were average, could use some updating. Beds were sleep able, shower was good. One block from the great beach- very clean beach. Within walking distance of shops and eateries. Overall you get what you pay for. Not a bad place for the money. Service was excellent - very accommodating.

Just went there and appreciated the location. It's really one block from the beach which is very convenient. Shops and restaurants are nearby. They also have a pool which is nice. Common parts of the hotel are otherwise scarry, not very clean, smelled bad, but the room was okay. We chose the deluxe room with view on the canal. I... More

If you are looking for a few days' getaway, we found the Fenwick Islander to be clean and comfortable. The grounds and pool are small but the location was really good. We did not have to get in our car once. Beach, restaurants and amusements all within a block or two. Will definitell be going back!!
