Beach Barn Upper - Charming 2BR Upper Unit on the Oceanfront

Beach Barn Upper – Relax and unwind in this renovated two‑bedroom, one‑bath upper‑level unit of an oceanfront duplex, perfectly located within walking distance to downtown Surf City's restaurants, shops, and more.

Enter from the oceanfront side and step into a space that maintains its classic beach‑house charm, complete with knotty pine walls and ceilings that create a warm, cozy atmosphere for your getaway.

The open kitchen, living, and dining areas are filled with sunlight streaming through the large oceanfront windows, making the whole space feel bright and inviting. The kitchen is equipped with everything you'll need for quick meals, while the comfortably furnished living room—featuring a large flat‑screen TV—offers the perfect spot to relax after a day in the sun.

One of the best features of this upper‑level unit is the new oceanfront deck. From here, you'll enjoy gorgeous sunrises and endless views of the Atlantic, all from your private perch above the sand. With direct shared beach access, your toes will be in the sand in no time.

Beach Barn Upper is the perfect blend of classic charm, modern comfort, and unbeatable oceanfront views.

Great location

We loved the beach barn upper. It was clean and easy access to everything in Surf City and quick access to get over the bridge to multiple other stores including grocery. Only thing that would be better if there was TVs in the bedroom. Otherwise no complaints

I’ll be back

I forgot how much I like the beach. Beach Barn Upper has too many steps for me and the dog but I would definitely stay downstairs next time. Great location and comfortable.
