Bodhi's Retreat - A Rare, Stylish & Modern Beach Escape on Emerald Isle! Steps to Beach • Stylishly Restored A-Frame • Dog Friendly • Bikes Included
Welcome to Bodhi's Retreat, a one-of-a-kind A-frame on Emerald Isle that has been beautifully restored and modernized into a true oasis! Second row from the beach, Bodhi's Retreat is a stone's throw from public beach access with a beautiful tree-lined path to the beach. A rare beach A-frame, this stylishly upgraded home creates a boutique-style beach retreat unlike anything else on Emerald Isle.
Perfect for couples, friends, or small family gatherings, Bodhi's Retreat offers a unique alternative to the mega-mansions that dominate the island--warm, stylish, modern comforts and upgrades, and memorable from the moment you arrive.
Location, location, location! Just steps from a lovely public beach access, you'll stroll to the ocean along a serene tree-canopied path--one of Emerald Isle's hidden gems. Spend your days playing in the surf, fishing, shelling, or reading under the sun. When you're ready for restaurants, ice cream, or shopping, the island's central district is just 3.2 miles away. We provide beach cruisers so you can enjoy Emerald Isle's well-maintained bike path that runs the length of the island.

The A-frame had all of the comforts of home, and more!! Bicycles and beach chairs there to use. Comfy king bed with wonderful linens. Upstairs, another bath and kitchen-living room combo, with a record player and great selection of albums. Sitting on the porch was like relaxing in a tree house! The beach path is directly across the street. We loved our stay and hope to return!
Beautiful space. Many thoughtful details. High quality towels, sheets, kitchen supplies. Great deck. Private landscaping. Utilitarian, clean design. California surf vibe. We brought bikes and 2 nice beach cruisers were provided. This alone elevated our stay! Short walk to the beach. We could hear the ocean from the deck. Surprisingly loud. We loved playing albums - Johnny Cash. The space is small, intentional and maximized. We hope to return. Small snafu with lock, but owners were extremely responsive. This house does permit dogs as does the beach. We did not realize and our allergic family member seemed to land his luggage on the bit of floor that got missed by a vacuum. Some sneezing! Still worth it!
