The Sanderling

While we experienced a minor snafu during a late night check-in, the rest of our last minute visit was perfect. The hotel refresh is lovely and totally hits the mark for charming coastal chic, and we appreciated all of the amenities such as towels, beach chairs and umbrellas, coffee in the lobby, etc. We also appreciated being able to get breakfast sandwiches and and lattes in the lobby on the weekends as we weren't in the mood for a longer meal at the restaurant. The most notable part of our visit; however, was the impeccable service we received - especially from Cassie at the front desk. Cassie went above and beyond fixing the check-in issue and making things right; she also arranged for my dress and sweater to be laundered after learning an inebriated patron at an off site restaurant dropped an entire full drink on me the evening before. When the weather turned warm (unexpectedly early in the season), she arranged for chairs and umbrellas to be brought out of an offsite storage unit (thank you, Derek for having them set up for us every day before we even made it out to the beach)! Everything we needed or asked for she made happen and she did so with a smile - I wanted to bring her home with me! It's clear she understands great customer service... I hope they understand what a wonderful employee they have! We had a great time and hope to visit again soon.

My wife and I had the perfect stay! I don’t say that often. Have traveled extensively and this is one of my favorites places. The Staff, accommodations and the great vibes were over the top. Resort itself was phenomenal and done with guest comfort as main goal. Would recommend for a great time!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! The resort is phenomenal - the rooms are so so comfortable. The Pillows - I truly wanted to sneak one home. BUT - one of the highlights was meeting Vernette - our INCREDIBLE housekeeper. Heck - I wanted to keep her. She is by far one of the biggest assets at the Sanderling - be sure to meet her if you can! Thank you Sanderling for a memory that will last our life time :)

We had an amazing time at The Sanderling Resort, the room was fabulous!!! And the trip would not have been the same without Miss Vernette, she greeted us with so much joy and happiness each time we met in her in the hallways!! She is a beautiful person with a genuine heart!!!!!!❤️

It's a beautiful resort and I visit often. The staff is very kind and helpful and the location is one of the most beautiful places in the US. The spa is also wonderful! You have everything in the resort, plus so many activities and shopping options (in season).

My husband and I came to the Sanderling for a much needed romantic getaway. We stayed in the North building in an ocean view King. From the moment we walked into to the spotless, newly renovated room we knew it would be a weekend to remember. The bathroom was sparkling clean and well stocked with towels. We opened our balcony door and let the sound of the ocean carry us away. That night we had dinner at the Lifesaving Station and the service was quick and efficient and the food was delicious. Each morning we saw the sunrise over the ocean from the beach and walked to the main lobby in the Beach House to get coffee which was fresh and delicious. Every staff member we saw and spoke too was pleasant and helpful. They all seemed to generally enjoy their jobs and i could see why. The decor of the hotel was beautifully appointed and the attention to detail was superb. We felt lucky to me staying at a location where we could see the sunrise of the ocean and the sunset over the sound and nearly the same spot. The location cannot be beat. We had to reschedule our original stay from February because of some unexpected changes where we had gotten the stay two nights get the third one free. While we could not get the exact same deal for our March stay, Lisa in reservations was kind enough to work with me to get us a complimentary upgrade so the the value for the timing and the room was amazing

Sanderling Resort exceeded my expectations. The room was beautiful and affordable with a great view, and the atmosphere was relaxing. The staff was great and stood out for their professionalism and kindness always attentive and friendly. It was a memorable stay, and I’d gladly return for another couple of days of luxury and tranquility.

Coastal charm at its finest. My recent stay at The Sanderling Resort was warm, welcoming, and truly memorable. The Beach House is beautifully situated and centrally located on the property, making it easy to enjoy everything the resort has to offer. The room was clean, spacious, and well-appointed perfect for a comfortable week-long stay. Even during the cooler weather, the accommodations were cozy, and the views were exceptional, with stunning sunrises and sunsets each day. A wonderful coastal escape that delivers comfort, location, and scenery.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at The Sanderling Resort in Duck, NC. From the moment we arrived, the level of service from the entire staff stood out — every interaction was welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. You could truly feel that everyone cared about making our stay special. The food and service at Lifesaving Station were exceptional. Each meal was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented, and the service matched the quality of the food perfectly. It quickly became a highlight of our visit. Our room was wonderful — comfortable, clean, and well-appointed — and the meeting spaces were equally impressive. They were well designed, functional, and supported by an attentive team that made everything seamless. Although it was cold during our winter visit, the property team went above and beyond to accommodate every request with positive attitudes and genuine smiles, which made all the difference. Their warmth truly offset the winter chill. We will most certainly be returning — not only in the summer, but again in the winter as well. The Sanderling Resort delivers an outstanding experience year-round, and we can’t wait to come back.

Recently stayed at the Sanderling and it was such a wonderful trip! I got an 80 minute massage and an hour long facial done at the spa and they were fantastic and so relaxing! We had breakfast and dinner at the life saving station and every meal was delicious! The staff were attentive and kind and assured we had a great stay. Nothing beats the views and great location between Duck and Corolla. We are already planning our trip back for the summer!
