Not what I expected, but some moments shined

We got lucky with a sunny day, and I loved morning walks on the beach, it was stunning watching the sunrise over the water,, almost made me forget about everything else. The staff at the restaurant? Uhhh, one guy was really friendly and shared a few local stories that added to our meals. it felt a bit personal and warm, ya know?

Morning coffee was delightful with ocean views!

A hidden gem in Duck

The beachfront access was incredible, and our oceanfront room had lovely decor. We enjoyed evenings by the fire pits, making s'mores and sharing laughs with fellow guests—the best moments!

the staff is super friendly and attentive. rooms need better cleanliness and maintenance.

The Sanderling offers a beautiful, secluded location with spacious oceanfront rooms and great beach access. However, the room cleanliness needs attention, and the staff appeared overwhelmed at times, impacting service quality. Ideal for families seeking a relaxing getaway, but consider improvements in room maintenance and service efficiency.

Duuude, the pools and hot tubs were epic! The adult pool was, like, my fave. The vibe at the outdoor bar/restaurant was so chill, and I loved how they had all the beach stuff set up in the morning. Super relaxing stay! Wish the room had some TLC though, it kinda looked worn out, ya know?

The people here are just grand! Every staff member had a smile and a friendly 'hello. ' The pools were a real highlight, quite lovely. But, the dining service was a bit slow—had to chase down our orders more than once. Still, the vibe made up for it!

Loved the adult pool and hot tubs! The beach chairs and umbrellas were set up perfectly each morning, making it a super chill experience. They even had an outdoor bar that was just fabulous for relaxation.

But honestly, the room could use a little sprucing up. I didn't expect the decor to be so 'vintage' it might qualify for its own museum exhibit!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful location, with easy access to the beach and stunning oceanfront views. The restaurant on the property was delightful, offering delicious meals that pleased the whole family. Our children especially loved the fun activities offered on-site, from the hot tub to evening fire pits for s'mores.

The room cleanliness could use some improvement for a more comfortable experience.

We spent three nights at The Sanderling in a beautifully decorated oceanfront room, enjoying the lovely pool area and easy access to the beach. The food at the Lifesaving Station was enjoyable, with friendly service and delicious options like seafood medley and chocolate cake. The staff were attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay, and we appreciated the prompt setup of beach chairs and umbrellas.

Beach access was fantastic, and the water sport facilities were a hit with my family. Our room, unfortunately, could use better cleanliness, as it felt a bit worn. Overall, a fun stay!

Personality shines through with every staff member—each was attentive and genuinely friendly. The adult pool area was a serene retreat, and the outdoor bar made relaxation effortless. However, cleanliness needs attention. a bag of trash near the pool was an unwelcome sight. Check-in delays were frustrating, and finding amenities missing in the room, like trash bags, was disappointing. Breakfast included delightful home-baked bread, elevating the meal experience and making mornings enjoyable.

wonderful beach access and great nearby attractions

Staying here was fantastic with beautiful oceanfront views and proximity to attractions like the Corolla Wild Horse Fund Museum and the Audubon Pine Island Sanctuary, making it easy to explore the area on foot and enjoy nature. every day, I loved taking long walks to see the stunning surroundings and enjoy local shops, bringing a unique charm to my trip.

We had a fantastic time at The Sanderling! Our spacious Deluxe Two Queens room offered a lovely view and a comfortable setup. The hot tub was a hit with the kids, and we enjoyed relaxing by the fire pits while making s'mores. The quick access to the beach was ideal for family fun. The restaurant on-site served the best meal of our trip! The Easter egg hunt was a delightful surprise for the children.
