My ratings for this property are based on my expectations. This is a 2 star hotel so be aware that you are paying for the location which is literally on the beach. Do not expect 4/5 star quality for a 2 star price.
I have been all over Thailand for many years and this met my expectations. It wasn’t perfect but that was easily made up for and/or surpassed by the location and the wonderful staff.
Staff were absolutely fantastic and I can’t praise them highly enough. Very kind and attentive. They even agreed that I could do a bank transfer to them and they would give my the cash after I lost my wallet with all my cash and cards. I’m so grateful to them.
Rooms were cleaned daily and bottles of water supplied.
I would definitely return again and would recommend to anyone on a lower budget who doesn’t need absolute perfection.

You pay for the location, not for a good room
PROs - the staff is nice, the owners daughter was nice and tried to accomodate everything in her power, the beach just in front the hotel is just perfect. amazing waves. The location cannot be better!
CONs - the sheets had holes and stains, there was no mattress protector, meaning you simply sleep on the sweat and dust of the thousands of people before you as the mattess itself was very old too, the warm blanket was old and disgusting with only a thin sheet layer around it not even fully covering it, the A/C was barely working enough to cool the room, the fridge was dirty, the bathroom was dirty (don't let the marble pics fool you) . The rooms are very poorly isolated. They did not change the bathroom feet towel over the whole length of the stay. There was sand everywhere and the last two nights the bed was infested with ants which bit me a lot in the night.

I stayed at IOTB recently after doing the sandbox at the s***hole Patong and it was such a great week and a bit. I have been to IOTB some 14 years ago and loved it then as well. Some of the rooms are better than others so best check the room before you move in. 405 was excellent with great hot water, a/c and fan with great view to the pool and beach. This side of the building does get early sun until about midday but the afternoons are in shade which I preferred. Breakfast is included but if you're a big eater I would suggest you go out. The owner (Buoy)is lovely and will go out of her way to make you stay fabulous.

Отличный отель на первой линии
Отель расположен очень удачно, на первой линии, до пляжа 30 метроов, номера дрстаточно просторные, уборка каждый день, завтрак порционный, стандартный для Пхукета. Рядом с десяток ресторанов. До ночного рынка минут 10 пешком, рядом с ним лаборатория, где можно сдать ПЦР-тест перед отлётом. SWAB-центр в 5 минутах хотьбы. До Каты 5-10 минут на тук-туке. Не будете разочарованы!

Good location, comfortable family business.
Heavy Scandinavian and Euro guests staying so coffee at breakfast was good as was the breakfast overall. The hotel booked us a scooter that was delivered to us. We rode up to Big Buddha and across to Patong Beach area. Recommend for experienced motorcyclists only as riding here is challenging. Hotel located right on the beach and within walking distance to downtown Karon.

Cozy Beachfront In at the Beach..living the dream!
In by the Beach is a quaint hotel right on a lovely less crowded end of Karon beach. It is very safe, clean and hosts a fruit punch, sweets and fruit happy hour each day at 4:00 poolside. The breakfast buffet was delicious with a variety of fresh items to choose from. Sunsets are Amazing from the beach or your balcony. Many European families spend 2 weeks here to enjoy the sunshine. The location is perfect for a relaxing holiday and 1 hour taxi ride from the airport. There is a weekend market 1 minute walk away as well as 2 beachfront restaurants. Party Bars, restaurants and shops in Karon are 5 minutes walk away.
The Sea is clear and cool, the sand is white and so fine on your feet. The hotel rents beach chairs and umbrellas. Some rooms have a lake view as well. The bed was comfortable, a small refrigerator and hot pot for morning coffee are nice touches.
Listening to the waves crashing from my balcony now and I'm living the dream!

Best Location but Poor Housekeeping
The hotel stuff are Friendly and it's literally on the beach (you or your kids don't have to cross any street, also you can hear the ocean waves in your room which is very relaxing),the rooms were renovated and the bathroom is just new, BUT there was humidity in my pillows and bedsheets like they were stored for long time and if you want them to change it they will charge you 1200bhat!!!!! Which is ridiculous!
I wish the owner care more about housekeeping, it's not going to cost him anything!
The location may look scary and isolated on your arrival but there are restaurants 5min walking and mega 7-11 7min walking, the area is safe even at night. Beach Dogs are friendly just give them some food and water :) most guests are decent russians.

Main attraction is the beach, perfect location, without have to go tru the traffic. A walk-distance to the crowd, shops, restaurant and bar. The night is quite and peaceful, enjoyed our night time sitting outside, all to our self with its lovely breeze and sound from the ocean.

The location of this property is worth the money just on its own. If you are a beach lover like myself and don’t want to waste time and energy to commute to the beach every day then this place is for you. The room I had was spotless and cleaned every day I’m very good condition. Everything worked with no issues. The pool area is relaxing in itself, perfect for a lazy dip and drink before or after the beach or even all day. The hotel staff are extremely friendly and helpful and there is always someone at reception to help with any needs. It’s a 3 minute walk to 7 restaurants and a 8 minute walk (yes I timed them) to Karon centre where there is many quality restaurants and nightlife with a very nice nightmarket on tuesdays and fridays. Overall I had a great experience at In On The Beach and will return again.

Location being right on the beach. Beer available and small food vendors just up the road.
A bit pricey for the hotel as very basic but paid for the location (I think it was cheaper on another booking site but forgot what one)

Great Location
Great location right on Karon Beach.Lots of restaurants nearby. Small night market on weekends. Rooms are in good condition but have no room service. There are a couple of dogs which are friendly but sometimes follow up all the way in this three storey property. Definite no for people uncomfortable with dogs/pets. No lifts..steep steps which can be troublesome for elderly. Nice pool with loads of sundeck chairs, hotel rents out sundeck chairs for use on the beach and provides beach towels too. Breakfast is nice but has little vegetarian/vegan options

Extremely dated and old. Booked nonrefundable 6 nights, stayed 1 night but paid for 2. Got a refund for 4. If you book this make sure to get the refundable option because our room was horrible. Has suchs potential but is old, messy, noisey, and just dirty. Would not recommend, but appreciate them refunding the nights. Although if they hadn't I would have contacted my credit card company.

Nice hotel close to beach
I suppose what made this a little pricier compared to other hotels in phuket was the very close proximity to the beach and the pool. (I stayed at one in Patong for $20/night CAN and it was great.) But in karon it's more relaxing as well if that's what you're looking for. All in all - worth the cost.
