Family beach cottage poised between the ocean, hiking, biking, eateries & shops

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

This cottage has been freshly updated in 2022 with new flooring, bathroom faucets, light fixtures, furniture and more. It also has 3 comfy beds (1 King / 2 Queen), 3 Samsung smart TVs, a Bluetooth stereo receiver, 5G WIFI and full-size washer/dryer. Plus there’s a huge deck, outdoor shower and a beach cart you're welcome to use.

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

Our beach cottage 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. :)
