Carolina beach Condo

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.

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!!!

Ever little thing you need

This was a wonderful place to stay at Carolina Beach. It was neatly appointed and had everything thoughtfully provided (binoculars, toiletries, first aid items, dryer sheets, hose downstairs...and the list goes on). Location of condo slightly misleading as it is technically on the 2nd row but with 2 streets and 3 rows of homes between. Traffic on street in front of condo slightly annoying/loud. Place was comfortable with the exception of cheap rickety chairs at table that we were afraid to sit in for fear of their breaking. Secondly, the water pressure in the shower (especially the master)was extremely puny, requiring VERY long showers to get shampoo out of hair. Walk to the beach wasn't bad, and could drive up to walkway at beach opening for drop offs, if needed(we had elderly folks with us). Some difficulty reaching Bob and never located the checkout process info. Whole island is parking insane(places down at boardwalk are a flat fee of $25/day!) but can avoid fees walking to pier and Freeman Park easily from condo where have free parking for 2 cars. FYI, neighbor highly recommended eating at the Deck House but it was over priced for barely mediocre food and appalling service. Skip it! All in all, we loved it albeit an unreasonable amount of fees tacked on. He's definitely not losing $$ on this baby! Regardless of previously mentioned issues, would come back.

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.
