Welcome to Bob’s Island Retreat, your quintessential hideaway located just a block from the photogenic Carolina Beach. This inviting two-bedroom, two-bathroom abode is ideally placed near the entrance to Freeman Park, striking the ideal balance between a calming getaway and a beachside adventure.

Though the getaway 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 appeal 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 close by ocean, while the rear balcony offers a striking view of the marshland. Here, during particularly huge high tides, the marsh transforms into an enchanting water landscape, creating a serene and impressive backdrop for your stay.

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

Pet owners will appreciate that Freeman Park accepts 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 family pets on the beach, ensuring everybody has a moment in the sun.

Bob’s Island Retreat is equipped for comfort, featuring comfortable queen-size beds in both bedrooms and an additional twin-size air bed for an additional 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 calming on a beach chair, you’ll find everything you need for a ideal 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 calming escape with handsome vistas of the transforming marsh or an active beach holiday filled with sun, surf, and sand, our home is primed to provide an memorable vacation experience at Carolina Beach.

Tips to get the optimal Cape Fear area rental experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• To book the largest rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Cape Fear area restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Selecting the best rental in the Cape Fear area area:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Bob's Island retreat has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you book your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

Know before you go:

• Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peace. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
