10/10 Excellent

"Just beautiful sitting on the deck. Staff was great"

The Sanderling

10/10 Excellent

"If you’re looking for the perfect dog-friendly getaway in the Outer Banks, I can’t recommend the Sanderling Resort enough. The entire experience feels peaceful, upscale, and incredibly welcoming, especially for dog owners. One of the best parts is the private beach access, where you can spend the entire day relaxing with your pups. The resort sets up umbrellas and lounge chairs for you, making it so easy to settle in and just enjoy the ocean breeze together. It honestly feels like a luxury beach day designed for both humans and dogs. The property itself is absolutely beautiful, bright, clean, airy, and incredibly well-maintained. Everywhere you look has that calm coastal vibe that instantly puts you at ease. The rooms and common spaces feel fresh and inviting without being stuffy. The restaurant on the property is also top-notch. Great food, great atmosphere, and such a nice bonus when you don’t feel like leaving the resort. If you truly want to disconnect, recharge, and have a relaxing vacation with your dogs, this place is 100% worth it. It’s one of those rare resorts that actually delivers the peaceful getaway experience it promises."

CLASSIC 1935 OCEANFRONT BEACH COTTAGE

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay when we booked it for a week on the beach. We really enjoyed having coffee on the covered porch every morning while we watched the dolphins moving up and down the coast. There are also some good places to eat and drink within walking distance from the cottage.The best thing about the cottage is the view. I don't think we spent much time inside the house when we weren't on the beach -- We were usually sitting on the porch soaking up the scenery. Gorgeous house. Great host communication. Perfect views."

Shugafoot Oceanfront

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

Suite is 100 yds from the Beach! Walking distance Private Beach Access.

10/10 Excellent

"Clean & perfect for two. Very short walk to the beach, which was nice when we wanted to catch the sunrise. Our host Diane was very nice and accommodating. The apartment was well stocked and furnished nicely. Restaurants within walking distance. Everything you need for a great trip to OBX is here. Thank you for sharing your space with us, Diane! We do hope to visit again!"
