Family beach cottage poised between the ocean, hiking, biking, eateries & shops - Vacation rental home in Emerald Isle, NC

Welcome to Bobby’s Beach Barn, a private home located in a peaceful family neighborhood.

This bungalow has been newly refreshed in 2022 with new floor, bathroom faucets, light fixtures, furnishings and more. It also has 3 comfortable beds (1 King / 2 Queen), 3 Samsung intelligent TVs, a Bluetooth stereo receiver, 5G WIFI and full-size washer/dryer. Plus there’s a humongous deck, outdoor shower and a beach cart you're welcome to use.

Sip your morning coffee calming in an Adirondack chair on the shady deck. Catch a nap in one of our hammocks. And bring your bicycles because the bicycle path (1/2 block away) takes you to wooded trails, close by eateries, mini-golf, a wine shop and much more. Take a family walk to the beach with your eyes peeled for whitetail deer that roam around the neighborhood at dusk.

Our beach bungalow has been in the family since 1982. Your host has spent many childhood summers and countless vacations as a grownup in Emerald Isle. He will be happy to share his local tips with you. In fact, here’s a start: Slow down, disconnect, and don’t forget to reapply. :)
