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 relaxing 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 gorgeous view of the marshland. Here, during particularly sizable high tides, the marsh transforms into an enchanting water landscape, creating a serene and beautiful backdrop for your stay.

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

Pet owners will savor 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.

Vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to visit Carolina Beach & When to reserve a Wrightsville Beach rental home:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in Carolina Beach. Book your Wrightsville Beach rental in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guides have offers and deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Bob's Island retreat has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the host before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is optimal for your vacation.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• If there's a certain Wrightsville Beach attraction you long to visit, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many concerns.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address 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 comments.
