We had a great time at the Sugar Shack! The size was perfect for our family (2 adults, 2 kids under 3). The walk to the beach is about 3-5 minutes, not bad at all. The drive to the heart of Duck is a quick 7-10 minute trip. My only negative complaint, and it really wasn’t a big deal, the list of amenities listed a coffee pot, when we got there we found there was only a Kuerig, so be sure to pack or buy pods. Overall, we had a great time! (This would be a perfect spot for a couple or friend getaway).

Wonderful beach cottage in Duck

This lovely cottage was the perfect place for our stay over Labor Day weekend! It is very comfortable and cozy and beautifully decorated. The kitchen also has everything you might need. It's a short walk to the beach and you don't have to cross Route 12, which is great. It's really nice to have a place that isn't huge, too. Lastly, the owner communicated well and provided all the information we needed. We can't wait to return!

Longtime friends get together

The house was very tastefully renovated/decorated. The owners were very responsive and accommodating and we had a great time! The only thing we had to complain about was when we had to leave today!
