Shugafoot Oceanfront

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!

Perfect home directly on the dunes, quiet area. Our 2nd stay here and hope to return in the future!

Host was very responsive to messages. View was amazing and beds were comfortable. It was nice to be able to share our vacation with our fur babies.

The view is the best part of this house and easy access to the beach. The closed in porch was a bonus for our dog. It was chilly during our stay but that didn’t interfere with our sunrise walks on the beach! Great location! Thank you for a great stay!

Shugafoot was perfect for a relaxing week at the beach. Mark was an exceptional host and responded quickly to all questions. The cottage was clean and very comfortable for bringing a pet. The evenings were quiet and the location was convenient to food and shopping.

Greqt location

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.

House was perfect for our needs.

Location could not be beat. Steps from the ocean and protected by a substantial dune. Hearing the waves as we fell asleep in the comfortable king bed was a plus. Sadly the place needs updating to be clean enough for us to come back.

Great location, clean and everything you would need for a beach getaway.

Everything was clean and organized. Sheets and towels provided which is not common! Rooms were a great size and everything was pretty kid friendly. I must mention the book! The Little Blue Cottage book was such a hit that we have already found it on Amazon! ordering when we get home.

The host was friendly, great communication and help. The property is ON the beach, just a dune and there it is. The views from nearly all the rooms in the house are mesmerizing. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped, and the new beds are spacious and comfortable. Excellent wi-fi and cable. Plenty of parking. Our Havanese, Dickens, was also comfortable, and loved the beach. Recommend the Black Pelican and Hurricane Mo's. Touring the Wright Memorial, including climbing Kill Devil Hill, is a must. We had a great time, and found it to be a good value.

The house was just the right size for our family (and could have fit a few more) the location was excellent, and we loved watching dolphins from the front porch. Great sunsets and beautiful stargazing. The host was also very attentive (thank you, Mark!). We would definitely come again.

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.
