Bob's Island retreat
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.
The condo is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a safe.
