Another great vacation at Sugar Shack

This is our 12th year staying at the Sugar Shack. It goes without saying, we wouldn't keep going back if it wasn't the perfect vacation home. It's within walking distance of Duck shopping - a must - and, of course, great beach access. Thanks again for a wonderful time!

Great stay!!

We had a wonderful time staying at the sugar shack. The home was clean and well stocked with everything you could red in the kitchen! Close to stores and restaurants but an even better location for the beach. Being able to have my coffee in the sand was exactly what I was looking for! Would recommend and choose for future stays.
