A retractable clothesline device (10) for storing a clothesline (12) when in a fully retracted position and enabling the clothesline (12) to be readily extended from its retracted position for use, the device (10) including an outer housing (14) and a spool (26) disposed within the housing (14) for retaining a clothesline (12) thereon. A spring is operatively connected to the spool (26) for being in a biased condition when the clothesline (12) is in an extended position and in a substantially unbiased condition relative to the biased condition when the clothesline (12) is in a fully retracted position. The device (10) includes an upper shelf (122) disposed directly over the spool (26) and a bottom shelf (124) disposed directly below the spool (26), the upper and bottom shelves (122,124) extending radially outwardly from the spool (26) substantially to the front wall (120) of the housing (14) to prevent the clothesline (12) from winding off of the spool (26) and into the housing (14).
