We took advantage of everything the Sanderling had to offer! We took out the resort bikes, birdwatched, dined in Lifesaving Station and Theodosia. We took a few hours and did the wild horse tour too. Wonderful beachside gem! Rooms are beautiful! Make sure to go upstairs in the lobby where you can play games, read books and relax!

We loved this beachfront resort in Duck. It was very family friendly and convenient having chairs, umbrellas and beach towels available. The staff members were friendly (we loved our waitress Renee especially!) We had a few great meals at Life Station which was the onsite restaurant. Our room was ground level near the family friendly pool and we would choose to stay there again, it was nice walking right outside to it. The morning walk views were amazing on the beach, worth getting up early for. The room itself we stayed in was two queen beds and a large bathroom, we really used the little deck with rocking chairs off our room a lot, nice to be able to leave the beach gear out there and enjoy the fresh air. Overall, a really pleasant experience and laid back vibes which is what we were hoping for.

Place was dirty and no one was paying attention …. Do not come here if you are expecting a Pinehurst type of experience..this is not for you

We had a short stay here at the Sanderling, but will absolutely come back and stay longer next time. The room was stunning, and very clean. We loved the options for food on the resort property and other amenities like beach chairs and umbrellas, and beach/pool towels. The staff was extremely friendly. We didn’t bring our dogs with us but loved seeing the other guests that did. Definitely great for dogs lovers! A perfect place for couples and family’s. The Sandbar was great for mid day lunch/ snacks and delicious drinks. We were very pleased with our choice to stay at The Sanderling for our short little get away.

Our hone took great pictures but not what we got. We must have been the first renters of the season. This house definitely needs work and to be upgraded. For the price we paid it should have been a lot better. Plus the Mang. Heather didn't have a care in the World and didn't send us the paperwork we requested suggesting something was wrong with our emails. She was no pleasant at all...

Our three-night stay restored us body and soul. Well-appointed, quiet room had a super sunset view. Great places to eat, snack and drink close by and on property. Be sure to see Rhyan at the bar. Incredible walking beach with chairs and umbrellas waiting each day. EV charger a huge plus!Great staff--attentive and not intrusive. Wish we could have stayed for a month! Maybe next time!
