Welcome to Bob’s Island Retreat, your quintessential getaway nestled just a block from the picturesque Carolina Beach. This inviting two-bedroom, two-bathroom abode is perfectly placed near the entrance to Freeman Park, striking the perfect balance between a tranquil retreat and a beachside adventure.

Though the retreat once offered a slight ocean view between two distant buildings, nature’s touch has since enhanced the scene with flourishing palm trees, providing just a fleeting glimpse of the ocean’s grandeur. However, the charm of Bob’s Island Retreat extends beyond the sea view, with two balconies that allow you to soak in the natural beauty surrounding the property. The front balcony whispers the presence of the nearby ocean, while the rear balcony offers a stunning view of the marshland. Here, during particularly large high tides, the marsh transforms into an enchanting water landscape, creating a serene and picturesque backdrop for your stay.

Our guests have exclusive access to one of the island’s finest swimming pools, known for its superb quality and peaceful setting, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a quiet day of relaxation.

Pet owners will appreciate that Freeman Park allows dogs to roam freely at any hour, ensuring that your furry friends can join in on the fun. On the rest of Carolina Beach, there are designated times for pets on the beach, ensuring everyone has a moment in the sun.

Bob’s Island Retreat is equipped for comfort, featuring cozy queen-size beds in both bedrooms and an additional twin-size air mattress for an extra guest. Step out to discover multiple beach access points just a block away, ensuring your journey to the sand and surf is seamless and straightforward.

The island offers a plethora of rental options to elevate your beach experience. Whether you’re interested in exploring on a golf cart, riding the waves on a surfboard, or simply relaxing on a beach chair, you’ll find everything you need for a perfect day at the beach.

At Bob’s Island Retreat, every detail caters to your comfort and enjoyment, ensuring your stay is both relaxing and memorable. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful escape with beautiful views of the transforming marsh or an active beach holiday filled with sun, surf, and sand, our home is primed to provide an unforgettable vacation experience at Carolina Beach.

    We had an amazing time at Bob’s place. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The water pressure in the showers was amazing. It felt like a spa after a day at the beach.The location was perfect. The beach was literally a 2-minute walk, which made everything so easy, especially with a toddler. My 3-year-old, Lucas, was absolutely amazed by the house. He loved exploring, and the calm vibe made it easy for all of us to relax.Bob was a fantastic host. He was responsive, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. Everything was well-prepared, from the clear check-in instructions to the cozy beds and well-stocked kitchen.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable beach getaway.

    We love the condo, it’s in great location and has everything you need to be comfortable with a family of four, and our tiny dog.The place is clean, kitchen is well equipped with all the things you need to make meals. Beds are comfortable. The whole place is well taken care of.Communication with Bob is excellent. Bob is super helpful with all the information you need to know before you make the trip. Our trip got cut short because of Chantal tropical storm. We look forward to visiting again soon.

    We loved our stay at Bob’s condo. The 2 porches allowed us to read and relax in the shade. The condo was comfortable , clean and well stocked.The access to Freeman Park beach was lovely for easy trips to the beach. We also enjoyed the proximity to Carolina State park for long, early-morning hikes with our dog. Carolina Beach has much to offer. The aquarium is close by, plus the ferry to Southport was a fun trip.
