Welcome to Bobby’s Beach Barn, a private home located in a calming 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. :)

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Crystal Coast vacation home experience:

When to go & When to book:

  • To get the best value, try changing your family's Crystal Coast vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and reduced traffic.
  • Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
  • Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
  • Property managers often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
  • Find a copy of your local Crystal Coast area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to pick the best vacation rental in the Crystal Coast area:

  • Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
  • Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Family beach cottage poised between the ocean, hiking, biking, eateries & shops has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
  • Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property management company before you book the property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
  • Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
  • Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
  • Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.

More considerations for your visit:

  • Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
  • Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
  • Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
  • Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
  • Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
  • Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
  • Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
  • Leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to compel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
