The Sanderling

Nice resort. Rooms were nicely furnished with high poster beds, and large bathroom. Also had a sizeable deck with chairs. Quick walk to the beach. Biting flies on the beach were terrible. Apparently a typical summer thing. Pool areas were nice with a separate kids pool and adult only pool. Beach bar was ok and morning lobby coffee/breads were ok. Would stay here again.

We had an awesome stay at The Sanderling Resort in Duck during our visit in August! The location is hard to beat, especially with such easy access to the beach. We loved being able to spend the day by the ocean and then come back to such a relaxing and comfortable resort atmosphere. The food was another highlight of our stay. Everything we had was delicious and the dining options made it easy to enjoy a great meal without having to leave the property. Between the beach, great food, beautiful surroundings, and welcoming staff, it felt like the perfect Outer Banks getaway. Our August visit was a great experience from start to finish and we would absolutely recommend The Sanderling Resort to anyone visiting Duck or the Outer Banks. We will definitely be back!

Thank you for an exceptionally wonderful vacation. Hospitality is definitely a lived brand at this resort. From the gracious reception, excellent dining experiences, comfortable and spacious room, and special care given at the pool and beach, each day was a true holiday. It is important to me to call out some of your employees who delivered gracious hospitality in every interaction. Please thank Vernette, our housekeeper, whose service was very much appreciated daily. The team at the Life Saving Station made every meal special and served us delicious food breakfast, lunch, and dinner: Dennis, Nellie, Dawn, and Simone. Tracy and Andrew, your team is excellent. Also, a fond shout-out to Nikki, Gregory, and King at the indoor and outdoor bars. Finally, I regret not having gotten their names, but the two young people at the beach who kindly set up our chairs and umbrella each day and chatted with us went above and beyond. Thank you all for an excellent experience, well worth the 8-hour drive to get here.

We purchased a day pass through the hotel due to Resort Pass being sold out for the day. In terms of having a really lovely beach day, while a bit pricey at $75-$100 per person, you have access to beach chairs and umbrellas, food and drinks ($), two pools, including one for adults only, restrooms, outdoor showers and rentals (boogie, surf and paddle boards, etc.). It was low stress, easy and the beach and tranquility pool were fantastic.

Beautiful luxury resort, situated just north of Duck - a very nice town. It’s all about the beach - world class. Gorgeous pools and amenities. Management is professional, mindful and responsive. Great restaurants with wonderful food and very friendly service. Special shout out to one of the directors - Zack. Extraordinary service. We’ll be back.
