Guest Reviews

Mark (10/5): A wonderful and relaxing stay. - Great location, wonderful amenities, excellent staff. Nothing to complain about
Michel (8/5): The pools are NOT heated, in April that means pool water is frigid. - Only one restaurant was open for service in mid April. The food and the service there were great, but the lack of options was frustrating. Even the pool side service area was closed during our stay.
Kaitlyn (9/5): Our stay was relaxing and restorative. - Food at the Lifesaving Station was excellent; staff was very friendly; grounds were lovely and well maintained. Slow service in the restaurant; Memorial Day weekend upcharge was excessive; pet fee was higher than what we've paid at other hotels/resorts.
Turner (8/5): Low key getaway in Duck - We were able to walk to 2 outstanding restaurants...Theodosia and The Paper Canoe. The staff was very friendly and always had smiles for us. The sandy pathways made walking challenging, and the foot-rinse shower was positioned in a way that you would immediately get sand on your feet again after using it.
Jessica (7/5): -
David (8/5): Excellent location, service, resort quality amenities. - The Atlantic Ocean beach is within walking distance of the hotel. Pool and hot tub available, plenty of lounge chairs, fire pit open every night. Coffee and pastries served in lobby early each morning. Restaurant has very limited menu, and the pricing does not justify the marginal food quality.
AYELE (10/5): Amazing experience. Great stay for our honeymoon . - Quite and great staff .
Jay (5/5): -
Amber (8/5): Our stay at The Sanderling. - We really enjoyed the hot tubs and how close the sanderling was to the beach. Also the town of Duck being pretty close. It was a very relaxing trip and the room was beautiful. The staff were also very nice and talkative. The lifesaving station was very overpriced. And the food was not the best. For only two meals we paid over $120 which I do understand for a higher priced establishment, but oftentimes food can be very good for much less.
Ilana (10/5): -
Jessica (10/5): Relaxing and not long enough - Staff at front desk are wonderful
Lois (8/5): Great stay, great location, would return again - Cleanliness, adult pool separate from kid's pool area. Service is slow across the board at food venues, staff do not smile, seem a bit disorganized and they do not move any faster even when getting behind. No indoor opportunities; billiard table, games, cards, ping pong,
Julius (8/5): -
Kathy (7/5): Nice - Room was spacious & very nice. Tall/big guy on beach set up chairs & then helped husband try to fly his kite but not enough wind. He was great. Bartender at outside bar was very good as well. Fire pits with chairs were nice Breakfast at Rescue restaurant- food was good but service slow & price high. Requested early check-in when booking but room was not ready til 4:30-4:45 Would have like to have some bottled water in room or in lobby (snacks as well)
Jeanne (8/5): It was good to very good, but not as wonderful as I had expected for the price - The entire staff was excellent! They went out of their way to be accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The pool facility was well maintained, easy to access, and plenty of room for guests. The room was large and bedding was so very comfortable! The in-room coffee was disappointing. With only a hot water kettle and no microwave, one did not get a good hot cup of coffee, and coffee bags do not deliver a good product. On top of that, the main lobby coffee was not working for anything more than regular brewed coffee., so one was forced to go to the onsite restaurant for a specialty coffee. I was disappointed in the room view, or lack thereof, the cleanliness of the porch, the lack of recycling by the resort itself-- which on an island should be a main concern for the environment! I wish there had been a sundry shop for such things as sunscreen, tylenol, etc. Instead, one was forced to drive to purchase forgotten items one might have needed. There was an odor or fragrance in the room which was overpowering when one first walked into the room. I had to open to door to the porch to allow fresh air in to help mitigate this. It gave the odor of a floral scented plug in air freshener. Not pleasant to me !

Travel Guru (8/5): Very nice place, needs some basic cleaning and maintenance during the slow season. - Beautiful resort and un-matched location. You can see both the Atlantic and the sound from the upstairs lobby area. Outside facilities are really nice (even though much was closed due to the off season). Very nicely decorated. Lots of amenities (in normal season) and would be great for families. Multiple problems with state of repair and cleanliness. Dead mesquites all over the window trim and woodwork in upstairs lobby. The place was only at 10% capacity (per employe) yet they couldn't clean the areas people congregate in. Our room, #316, had a broken door stop, closet doors which need adjusted and won't close properly, a TV which has Direct TV service but couldn't receive major networks, and spotty internet coverage. We and another guest smelled the pungent aroma of pot having been smoked in the downstair lobby area of the south hotel building. Not good. Pillows not very comfy. The restaurant - The Life Saving Station - does not have its outside lights on and looks closed. We wandered in for dinner and were the only one there. No wonder, people just drive by thinking it is closed.
Kevin (10/5): -
Siobhan (9/5): A great coastal getaway - The newly renovated rooms were beautiful and clean, the lobby was lovely and the staff was very friendly. We loved our meal at Theodosia and Life Station. The hot tub wasn’t hot
Marilyn (10/5): Beautiful beach, everything convenient, restful, spectacular! - Love the complimentary coffee. We had a spectacular dinner at the station restaurant. Best short ribs ever. Complimentary breakfast pastries?
Ute (10/5): Wunderbares Resorts. - Frisch renovierte Zimmer. Wunderbare Lage direkt am Strand. Trainingsschwimmbecken. Frühstück
Kyle (5/5): -
Harrington (10/5): -
Nunnally (6/5): - The decor in the rooms and the wallpaper. It all looked so elegant. The beach was very close. I didn't feel the pricing was not appropriate for the time spent. I tried calling for someone to help with my bags as I was leaving because I was packing up for 3 people and they never answered the phone. It's a very nice place, but it is very expensive for a one-night stay especially due to nothing being included or complimentary. Also, I was there to surprise my 75 year old gma with a birthday gift, but also was scouting the place for my upcoming wedding. When I let the staff know of my plans to return, it didn't really feel like they would care either way. I was expecting more of a tour or even a pamphlet with important wedding information considering this resort is suppose to also be a wedding venue.
Brenda (8/5): -
Marisa (9/5): Beautiful resort with a gorgeous beach! - The property was beautiful and easy to get around. The pool areas are small and don’t have a lot of seating.
Gigisouth (5/5): I did not receive the room I booked and paid for. - The restaurants, beach and location were great! I was given a small room facing the parking lot with a dangerous balcony. I booked an Ocean View Junior Suite in November 2024 through Booking.com for a vacation in July 2025. After one night in the small room, I complained to the front desk. They didn't have anything else for me. Then late afternoon on the second day the manager found a junior suite for me, facing the parking lot and again, no ocean view. I did not receive the room I booked and paid for. Main building has no elevator. Also, dogs on furniture in common areas. Bathroom sink in second room backed up.
Connie (10/5): Exceptional -
Bennett (10/5): Exceptional -
Samuel (9/5): Superb -
Lynda (10/5): Beautiful upscale resort - Loved everything about this property!
Reed (10/5): Great rooms, great location, great food options. - Beautifully situated between the ocean and the bay, with lots of activities available in both (we did the parasailing). Rooms were comfortable with gorgeous walk-in showers. Unbelievable food menus in the Lifeguard Station and Theodosia across the street, where we had one of the finest meals we’ve ever eaten. Close to lots of shopping and other eateries in Duck. We loved our three days at The Sanderling. A storm blew in some small jellyfish that made swimming in the ocean unavailable one day. Not much the hotel could do about that, though.
Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
Lisa (9/5): Superb -
Virginia (8/5): Very good -
Christian (9/5): Superb -
Kouder (7/5): Good -
Angela (8/5): Very good - Lovely holiday house and great location The house had not been prepared well - WIFI did not work, a number of the venetian blinds were broken, the outdoor furniture had not been wiped . Think this was due to early season and when pointed out was quickly rectified and I was offered a discount to compensate
Glynn (2/5): Overpriced - Beach was peaceful. Pool was decent. Staff were lovely but woefully understaffed and overworked. Completely overpriced. 2 star masquerading as 5 star. Understaffed in all areas. Rooms not cleaned. Our room was right next to a huge AC unit. Food and drink overpriced for the area. There are no coffee facilities in the room. It so badly wants to be a top resort, but it's not. Sadly cannot recommend it.
Kopfman (9/5): Wonderful -
Kristen (7/5): Good -
Chrystal (8/5): Stunning views but expensive - Pools, beach & restaurants very conveniently located. The ocean suite room was extremely comfortable and large with a beautiful view. The prices of drinks & food were extremely high. Also, when the wind was fierce, the outside first floor door would slam and could be felt & heard every time all the way in our room on the 3rd floor.
Roger (10/5): Exceptional -
Jean (4/5): Overpriced , poor customer service, and very little value for the cost. - Nothing in particular. We felt nickled and dimed. The room was cold and uninviting. Ice machine didn’t work, view of the ocean was obstructed by cobwebs on the balcony. The staff wasn’t helpful. My husband fell due to a protruding board in the doorway and all they offered was a couple of bandaids and to call EMS. His pants were bloody but they didn’t have a laundry facility. They did not offer to send the pants out to be cleaned or to buy a new pair. Poor customer service. Not even a free bottle of water or a cup of coffee. The vent in the bathroom barely worked so the bath was steamy after a shower . The toilet seat was broken. There was only one ice machine in the building but it was broken. By the way an electric coffee pot was available but I wasn’t going to use bathroom sink water. No comfortable chairs in the room. We had no desire to eat on the property because everything was overpriced. No bargain, no luxury, poor customer service service. No follow-up on the fall.
Hora (8/5): Very good -
Jeffrey (9/5): Superb - All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Room did not get vacuumed during visit.
Benjamin (6/5): Not a 4 star property. - Beach, pool, large room, comfortable bed Cost, restaurant reviews so bad we did not bother eating there, uncomfortable room chairs
Trovato (7/5): See above - Coffee availability poor, inferior hot plate in room and no availability for coffee and water in lobby. No concierge to help with directions and suggestions on high end restaurant at resort, food poor and very pricey either limited choices
Gary (10/5): The Sanderling is a delightful place with beautiful beaches and high quality rooms. - The Sanderling reminded us of New England beach properties in Cape Cod and Maine. Great location on both the sound and ocean. The rooms and halls were newly redone in very warm beach like colors. The room was very inviting. The bed was comfortable and beautiful. The bathroom was clean, pretty, and large! Understandably, the cost of eating in the restaurant was high but the food and service was of excellent quality.
Michelle (10/5): Exceptional -
Charles (10/5): Fantastic location right on the beach! - We had breakfast twice at the Lifesaving Station and it was wonderful. The food is good and the staff is exceptional! I wish there were easier places/bars to get drinks during the day. It would also be nice to have a coffee bar.
Rheri (10/5): Exceptional -
Powell (7/5): Good. - Clean. Looks like they just updated When we arrived the ac in our room did not work. The pet fee is ridiculous.
Mike (6/5): This is definitely NOT a resort! It’s a very nice hotel. There is no room service, just one restaurant on site with uppi - Great beach! The staff was excellent. Not what was advertised
Jason (10/5): Exceptional -
Donald (9/5): Superb -
Patricia (10/5): Exceptional -
Corina (10/5): Exceptional -
Arthur (5/5): Disappointing after long, six hour drive. - No water provided in room. I was told ,"we have a water station on first floor." I said, do you have a bottle I can put it in? They said, no, you have to bring your own. I asked, do you sell water?...no, they do not. None of this indicated prior to booking. White chairs on balcony were covered in dirt...if you weren't paying attention, your clothes turned black. Zero water pressure in shower. I won't be back. Sorry, reversed it...location on the beach was very nice and the rooms were large but that was really about it. Not coming back.
Melvin (7/5): Good -
Danny (8/5): Very nice and comfortable. - The breakfast was good and the location was fine; however, the personnel was understaffed. We had to wait often to be seated because the wait staff was only one and she had to help in the kitchen, wait tables and seat guests. See problem mentioned above.
David (8/5): Excellent short break at a nice location. Just what we needed. - We had an ocean view room which was fantastic for the sunrise and dolphin watching Food was very expensive
Scott (9/5): Superb -
Philipp (6/5): Pleasant -
Stephen (8/5): Enjoyed our stay. Was a quiet and in great location. We should return in the summer - Nice grounds and beach Under repair. Not everything is open.

Margaret (9/5): Superb -
John (7/5): Overall good experience. - Setting Lack of off mealtime food/snacks. Vending machine with stale chips isn’t a good option.
Allison (10/5): A beautiful place to make wonderful memories and celebrate our anniversary - Beach access, resort amenities, friendly staff, beautiful and comfortableaccommodations
Dale (9/5): A beautiful relaxing place to go. - Secluded beach, amazing pools and jacuzzies and great bar food and drinks. Rooms were a perfect size and bed very comfortable. Sadly the outside bar closes fairly early so was a bit disappointed with that. A bit far out from any of the towns, but can understand with the private beach.
Mary (10/5): Luxury and a coastal sunset - I was given a Deluxe room when I booked just a few weeks before my arrival. On checking in, I was told that I was upgraded to a premium room: my own large deck, incredible view, tables & chairs for 2 to watch the sunset, play cards, enjoy cocktails. Zero

Joanne (10/5): Exceptional -
Sandra (9/5): Really nice stay. - I loved the pools and hot tubs especially the adult pool section. The outdoor bar/restaurant was awesome and really enjoyed how all the umbrellas and chairs are set up in the morning at the beach. Made it our stay super relaxing and hassle free. There were many chairs and areas around the resort that were covered in spider webs. One area being our balcony. As someone who hates spiders and their webs, I would have appreciated and expected more upkeep.

Deborah (9/5): Beautiful resort. We had a lovely stay. Spa was wonderful - Location and staff Price is high
Diana (4/5): Not what it used to be. - The location is perfect and the staff that was there was lovely. We have stayed her many times in the past and the facilities have not been well maintained. The hotel is severely understaffed and it shows. Limited to no breakfast service, waited 2 hours for eggs. Property was not landscaped, room never cleaned, trash and debris not cleaned from grounds, no beach chair service. This special hotel has really gone downhill.
Brozusky (8/5): Very good -
Michael (8/5): It is not a value stay for families on a budget. - We choose not to eat breakfast as it was not included in the $500. plus cost. Breakfast should be included.
Wendy (8/5): Very good -
Candace (9/5): The Sanderling Resort is a beautiful place with exceptional staff! - Lovely property and perfect location. I would have liked a few more food selections at the restaurant.
