The Sanderling

The stay was wonderful. The staff were amazing. This was our honeymoon trip. We still look back on so many fond memories of that trip. The sanderling was instrumental on making this trip so special. We look forward to returning as much as we can. The views are stunning. The beaches couldn’t be beat. So many enjoyable things to do in the area.

As is stated in many of the reviews, the entire staff is a gem! Friendly, accommodating, intelligent and efficient:). Such nice people! However, this hotel needs a major makeover in the rooms and with the pool. I am an interior designer, and all the decks I had observed are rotted and dilapidated due to environmental damage. Our room was dank from previous water damage:( The pool has seen better days— and it’s small for the amount of guests using it at peak seasonal times. The Lifesaving Station cuisine is fantastic. Theodosia is ok for what it costs and advertises. The location is an A+ The staff is A++.

Stayed in July and loved the area and the vibe of The Sanderling Resort. First time on the outer banks but definitely not the last time

Our stay at the Sanderling Resort was exactly what we needed. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was peaceful, relaxing, and welcoming. The amenities were perfect—from the beautiful pools and beach access to the comfortable accommodations and exceptional dining. It was the ideal place to unwind and enjoy some much-needed rest and relaxation. A special thank you to Andrew Gallimore, Director of F&B whose hospitality and attention to detail truly elevated our experience. It was clear that he and his team take great pride in providing outstanding service, and it made our stay even more memorable. One tip for future visitors: plan your travel accordingly, especially if you're arriving on a Saturday morning. Traffic heading into Duck can get very busy, so arriving earlier or later in the day will make for a much smoother start to your vacation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return. If you're looking for a relaxing Outer Banks getaway with excellent amenities and outstanding hospitality, the Sanderling Resort is a fantastic choice.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Sanderling for the July 4th weekend. The staff took great care of us to include food and beverage. We were blown away at the available amenities and we appreciate the help and support from the Director of Food and Beverage, Andrew Gallimore, who ensured all of our needs were met.
