Loved the cottage and the back porch! The view is beautiful. The beach was not crowded at all, even during holiday week. It’s a small trek over a little dune to get to the beach, but easily doable. Outdoor shower and hose very handy. Kitchen is equipped well for cooking and dining in. Location is great. We would definitely stay 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!

I can't say enough about this place, we have stayed here a couple time and hope to stay again in the future. Great dog friendly house and perfect location for a weekend away, not far from the bridge and right on the beach. The house was clean and the kitchen pretty well stocked with everything we needed.

Relax at the OBX

It’s hard to be closer to the surf than this cottage! So convenient when setting up chairs on the beach, or when dolphin watching from the covered deck. Really enjoyed our getaway! Though be very careful when backing out from the driveway, the view to the road is a bit limited.

Wonderful Beach House!!

The location is excellent, close to everything, and directly on the beach. A lot of the house has been remodel and the older parts are well kept. The kitchen is beautiful and has everything you need. The ocean front deck was by far my favorite part of this house. It is the whole length of the house and we loved that half of it was covered. We would definitely stay here again!!
