Embark on a Luxurious Coastal Retreat at Red Barn Resort - Your Dream Vacation Awaits!

Nestled atop a majestic dune along the Crystal Coast of Emerald Isle, NC, Red Barn Resort is a stunning second-row sanctuary just steps from the beach, where luxury meets tranquility. Imagine waking up to breathtaking ocean views from each of the 8 beautifully designed bedrooms, creating the perfect start to every vacation day!

Indulgent Amenities for an Unforgettable Stay

  • Heated Swimming Pool and Brand-New Hot Tub: Dive into relaxation in our heated pool or unwind in the private hot tub for the ultimate coastal escape. Pool heat is available for $650/week plus tax.
  • Expanded Outdoor Oasis: Our outdoor spaces have been taken to the next level with an all-new and expanded pool deck, creating even more room to relax, gather, and enjoy the sunshine. We also added two new patios beside the putting green, designed for both fun and connection. These spaces feature a luxurious fire pit, hammock station, party lights, and a comfortable sitting area where you can unwind while watching family and friends enjoy the putting green.
  • New Outdoor Kitchen and Shower: The outdoor experience is even better with our new and improved outdoor kitchen, complete with a built-in grill and sink, making poolside meals and evening cookouts effortless. We also upgraded the outdoor shower for a more polished and enjoyable post-beach rinse-off.

Our stay at the Red Barn Resort was amazing! We had the best time, and spent a lot of time hanging out at the beach house. Our favorite part was relaxing in the jacuzzi and playing ping-pong! Thanks again bluewater for the awesome giveaway stay!!!

The moment you arrive, you instantly notice this gem is truly one of a kind. I feel it took the entire week of my stay to discover most of what The Red Barn Resort has to offer. From mini golf to the most well- maintained pool I have ever seen at a vacation rental. No words can describe the amount of attention to detail, and exemplifies the finest of a what a beach house stay is. White glove presentation at it's finest. The pictures truly do no justice for this home. I fell in love the moment I was able to unload and load a family's worth of luggage with complete ease through the elevator. I can honestly say this blows the competition out of the water and I will never stay anywhere else. THANK YOU to everyone involved that do their part to keep this place so magical. God bless.

We had an absolutely incredible time with friends and family! The house had everything we needed to both stay entertained and find time to relax. Fabulous mornings watching the sunrise from the porch, evenings playing games, beach, pool, hot tub, this place has everything! We love how convenient the home is to local dining and grocery options, while also being a stones throw to the beach. The kids loved the treasure hunt and claw machines! The elevator made it easy for ADA accessibility for a couple family members, too! We cannot say enough about this fabulous property! We will be back to make more memories!

Our stay at the Red Barn Resort was nothing short of magical. The property was immaculately clean and incredibly inviting, setting the perfect tone for a fun-filled vacation suitable for all generations. Clean and Inviting Atmosphere: From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with spotless interiors and thoughtfully arranged spaces. The décor struck a balance between beachy charm and modern comfort, making us feel right at home. Amenities for Every Generation: The Red Barn Resort truly has something for everyone! We spent our days lounging by the pool and soaking in the hot tub, which were both well-maintained and offered a great way to unwind. The porch swings became our favorite spot to relax with a glass of wine or nighttime story with our kids, enjoying the gentle sea breeze and each other’s company. Activities for Bonding: The putting green provided hours of entertainment and friendly competition among our group, appealing to both kids and adults. One unique highlight was the house scavenger hunt, a creative touch that brought our family closer together through teamwork and fun discoveries. Beach Access: Of course, the easy access to the beach was the crown jewel. Just a short stroll away, the pristine shoreline offered endless opportunities for shelling, swimming, and building sandcastles. The Red Barn Resort is a haven for creating cherished memories with family and friends. Whether you're looking to relax, have fun, or reconnect, this place has it all. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay at the red barn. We arrived to a very clean house that was freshly painted. The layout of the house is perfect for family trips, where you can have family gatherings in the kitchen/dining room overlooking the ocean view. Our kids loved the games, pool and hot tub. It is a very short walk to the beach and even quick to access the sound side which also has a playground that our kids enjoy. This will be our preferred place to stay when we make beach trips going forward. Not far from the main strip of Emerald Isle, but tucked away enough to be away from the traffic and noise. You can tell they want guests to come back based on the cleanliness and every detail within the house.

I recently stayed at the Red Barn Resort Beach House in Emerald Isle, and I cannot recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the charming and well-maintained exterior of the property. The beach house is located just a short walk from the beach, making it incredibly convenient for daily beach outings. The interior of the house is beautifully decorated with a cozy yet modern feel. The living room is spacious with comfortable seating and a large TV, perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need to cook meals, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches. Each bedroom was clean and comfortable, with plenty of storage space and lovely decor. The beds were very comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The bathrooms were spotless and well-stocked with high-quality towels and toiletries. One of our favorite features was the outdoor area. The deck has ample seating and a barbecue grill, making it ideal for evening cookouts. The kids loved the pool, which was clean and well-maintained. The location of the Red Barn Resort Beach House is perfect. It’s close to several great restaurants and shops, yet tucked away enough to provide a peaceful retreat. The beach itself is stunning, with soft sand and clear waters, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. The hosts were incredibly responsive and accommodating, providing us with all the information we needed for a smooth check-in and a comfortable stay. They clearly put a lot of effort into making this beach house a perfect vacation spot. Overall, our stay at the Red Barn Resort Beach House was fantastic. It’s an ideal place for families, couples, or groups of friends looking for a relaxing beach vacation. We will definitely be returning!

My family and I have been traveling to Emerald Isle, annually, for more than 20 years and we love the island. Now that we have found the Red Barn Resort we love the island even more. As our family has grown, our needs have also grown. We've found the Red Barn Resort at just the right time. Not only have we been able to find a place where the entire family can stay. This home provides something for everyone from the youngest to the oldest. The children love the beach, pool, and the hot tube as well as spending time trying their luck on the claw machine (Everyone is a winner). One of the first things the kids did was to embark on finding every way point on the treasure hunt, (such a creative and fun, unexpected surprise). Having an elevator made including those who were unable to scale the stairs part of the family experience. It also helped out tremendously in getting groceries up to the kitchen. The views are breathtaking and the proximity to the beach is perfect. Whether we wanted to relax or occupy our time playing pool, ping pong, putt putt, Foosball, or playing Golden Tee, there was always something to do. This is our new "Go To" place, we can't wait to return.

This beach house is even better in person, the photos do not do it justice! As a family with four young children, we are very choosy with our vacations. We rented this beach house in the spring time, and it far exceeded our expectations! The house comes equipped with everything you need. The claw machine, pool table, game room, and fooseball table provided easy entertainment! As did the putting green out back! My kids enjoyed hours of hopping from pool to the hot tub, despite the milder April temperatures. The house is in pristine condition. It smelled like a brand new home, with crisp white linens. All of the adults enjoyed drinks on the porch after the kids went to bed. They even had cute coozies for us to use! Whether it’s a family vacation or a special trip with friends, this is the perfect house for creating special memories. We will definitely be returning! Thanks for hosting us!
