About this property

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.

Second stay at Bobs Island Retreat since July!

We were at Bobs Island Retreat at the end of July. We absolutely LOVED everything about the property. The condo was clean, had fantastic decor and had everthing we needed for our stay. We enjoyed our time so much that as soon as we were able to come back, we did! This week did not disappoint. We took advantage of the beach near the condo, which was a change from our stay in July as we had other family staying near the boardwalk. It was nice being close to the beach. Our host was available as he had been last time and was reasonable and accommodating and house rules were clearly stated. We are hoping to make this a regular vaction spot. Thank you so much for the use of your fabulous condo.

Comfortable and clean

We enjoyed our stay at Bob’s condo. It is conveniently located a block off the beach that has a beachside restaurant/tiki bar on the pier. The condo was very clean and homey. We really enjoyed sitting on the front and back balconies. The condo had all of the supplies we needed. The condo had a clear list of check out duties. We would stay here again.

Wonderful Getaway at the Beach!

Very clean and well appointed condo! This is the best pet friendly location we have had the opportunity to stay in. Everything was clean, and if not new- very well taken care of. Extremely comfortable and has everything you need to make it your home away from home. Decor is laid back and eclectic- so fun! the location is perfect- very short walk to the beach and the pool is right next door- and was almost always empty!! Stay here and you will not be disppointed! Thank you Bob for sharing your perfect place!!!

About the host

Hosted by Bob Smith

I've worked on movies in the set decorating department for 27 years in cities across the country. I'm usually on location for a month or more. I don't like staying in hotels myself. It's nice to have a kitchen, if only to fix a bowl of cereal. I hope you'll be comfortable in my home.
