A private home theater anchors the ground level at Barney, a six-bedroom semi-oceanfront escape in Southern Shores from Carolina Designs. An elevator travels all the way to the ocean, a hot tub on the rooftop deck overlooks the water, and the ground level holds a rec room and a poolside cabana kitchen. With nearly 5,000 square feet of finished living space, this OBX vacation rental pairs traditional New England style, cedar shake siding and a light gray metal roof, with six private suites and top-notch amenities.
Overview
A memorable vacation awaits you at Barney, where style, comfort, and thoughtful design come together just steps from the beach.

Southern Shores sits on a narrow stretch of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Currituck Sound, greeting you as you approach the Outer Banks from the Wright Memorial Bridge. Tree-lined streets shaded by pines, dogwoods, and live oaks are perfect for walking and biking, and the town's location between Kitty Hawk and Duck puts a wide range of shopping and dining within easy driving or biking distance.
