The Sanderling

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!

We have been returning to this resort for years! The outside bar and dining has been amazing. They remember our family and constantly provide impeccable service. The rooms are always clean and our requests are met without hesitation. The family loves the yoga in the mornings and the game station upstairs. We love utilizing the fire pits for s'mores and relaxation. Can't say enough about the staff and amenities. We will be back soon, can't wait!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Sanderling. I thought our room in the north building was super nice without being pretentious. Perfect at this price point and for the area (Duck). My kids liked the hot tub (open in December) and the fire pits/smores. The staff were all great as well. We’re already planning our next visit in the spring.
