Steps to Beach • Stylishly Restored 1970s Gem • Dog Friendly • Bikes Supplied
Welcome to Bodhi's Retreat, a one-of-a-kind A-frame on Emerald Isle that has been handsomely restored and modernized into a true getaway! Second row from the beach, Bodhi's Retreat is a stone's throw from public beach access with a handsome tree-lined path to the beach. A rare beach A-frame, this stylishly upgraded home creates a boutique-style beach getaway unlike anything else on Emerald Isle.
Ideal for couples, friends, or modest family gatherings, Bodhi's Retreat offers a unique alternative to the mega-mansions that dominate the island--warm, beautiful, modern amenities and upgrades, and memorable from the moment you arrive.
Location, location, location! Just steps from a alluring public beach access, you'll walk 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 eateries, ice cream, or shopping, the island's central district is just 3.2 miles away. We provide beach cruisers so you can appreciate Emerald Isle's well-maintained bicycle path that runs the length of the island.
