- ERElise RochfordMay 13, 20265.0We had such a wonderful stay at the Sanderling Resort. It has a quiet luxury feel while still being very warm and welcoming. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, and the views of both the ocean and the sound were incredible. The staff was genuinely friendly and attentive throughout our stay, and the whole property had a peaceful coastal vibe. We loved grabbing lattes from the lobby’s coffee bar and walking the beach. It’s the kind of place that really helps you slow down and appreciate life. Hands down the best resort you can stay at in the Outer Banks!
- LJLorie JaynesMay 13, 20263.0This could be a wonderful place. Needs some updating , cleaning and a more service oriented staff
- TPTaylor PetersonMay 13, 20265.0We had such an amazing stay at Sanderling Resort in the Outer Banks! From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, attentive, and made everything feel effortless. The property is absolutely beautiful — the ocean views, peaceful atmosphere, and well-kept grounds made it the perfect getaway. Our room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed, and we loved being able to relax by both the beach and the pool. The location in Duck was also perfect — close to great shops and restaurants while still feeling quiet and relaxing. What really stood out was the level of hospitality. Every staff member we interacted with went above and beyond to make our stay special. Whether you’re planning a romantic trip, wedding weekend, or just a relaxing beach vacation, we would absolutely recommend the Sanderling and can’t wait to come back!
- MBmelissa briggsMay 11, 20264.0Colonial meets Southern Charm. Fabulous room #348. An unexpected entry of stairs to heaven. The ocean view was splendid. The large, cozy, detailed decor was welcoming and very appreciated. Our couples massage was a top 5 of all massages around the world (Lisa & Glen). The only room for improvement is their tea offering. It would have been nice to be served. They need a biscuit/granola/fruit to accompany the tea. The self serve tea kettle was a bit dirty. The Theodosia restaurant reservation was a good experience.
- RPRobert ParkMay 11, 20265.0The Sanderling is a gem. We went for a conference and found the grounds, pool, hot tub, bonfire, and beach to be immaculate. The staff are AMAZING! So kind, so friendly, and really went out of their way to help us on several occasions. Most notably, they found several items I had left in the room and shipped them back to me. Thank you so much Sanderling for a great weekend and amazing service!
