This is a great location! You just go over the dunes and you are right on the beach. It’s about as close as you can get. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching and listening to the waves. Loved having the gate on the deck so our dog could hang out there with us. House was clean and as described. Welcome package and cottage info was a nice touch. It’s a pretty busy road to pull out of and difficult to see oncoming traffic so I recommend backing in when possible. If we come back to the Outer Banks, we would definitely stay here again!

The view was amazing !!!!! Would definitely stay here again!

We are a couple that stayed at Shugafoot in May 2026 with our corgi, Einstein. This stay was honestly one of our best trips yet and we thank this location for that! The deck at Shugafoot was honestly such a blessing. We would spend hours spotting for pelicans, ospreys and pods of dolphins. We even saw a few Guard, C130s and Navy Osprey flying along the coast. We were extremely lucky to have good weather which allowed for some good shelling finds at the beach as well!Other things we enjoyed about Shugafoot:-The large kitchen island and spacious fridge-Location (The cottage is very close to a lot of our favorite KH eats including Awful Arthur’s, John’s Drive In and Arts Place)-The views of the ocean from the living room/kitchen area-Upgrades to the cottage but still has the comforting and nostalgic coastal feeling of staying at the OBX with family We would definitely love to stay at Shugafoot in the future!

Place was in a great location on the beach. Ocean view from deck is not as pictured. See pics from our stay. House is a bit tired looking despite some updates. Be aware that you have to buy supplies like trash bags, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, fabric softener and everything for cooking including basic spices. Beds aren’t made up on arrival but linens are provided. Maybe this is all standard for this area but not typical of other stays at vacation re talks, so be aware. Die the cost and view, we didn’t think this was a good value.
