The Sanderling

Totally average experience. Did not feel like resort at all. Upon arrival in rainfall, I was asked to walk in rain with staff to get bags out of car and walk to seperate building. No one offered to valet park car in downpour. Upon entering room, air conditioning broken in room, no soap, no spring water bottles like my colleagues received, no glasses for water. Any buffets set up by staff were not thought through (food prep was out of order), no staff stepped in to check to see if we needed anything. Although buffet, it’s a resort, and if we want to request special sauce (ranch), we should have opportunity to. Also no ice provided entire week for beverages on buffet. No where to put dirty plates either. I had to hunt down a cart in hallway each day to help group have somewhere to place dirty dishes. Not even a cherry in my $20 old fashioned. Bartender at restaurant brought out martini instead of requested margarita, and a shot of bourbon instead of a proper old fashioned. Also cannot see beach at all, dunes cover view. No special views at all unless you walk to beach. Dark brown sticky gunk on room light fixture. Ew. No staff went out of way to provide ANY thing extra. Did not feel like resort, will not be back.

Second trip here to this beautiful resort! It’s elegant and relaxing at the same time. Rooms are beautiful and recently redone. The staff is accommodating and welcoming!

Truly love staying at this resort! Everybody’s wonderful resort is clean and the rooms are beautiful. We plan to come back again next year! It will be A yearly anniversary trip for us

Sanderling Resort is really peaceful, great for relaxing, but there’s not much to do. The Lifesaving station Restaurant is hit or miss; I ordered the same dish on two different days, and it looked and tasted completely different each time.

Horrible experience at the sanderling. Booked a week long stay at the caffey house for may 2025, only to find out that they had double booked the house-and despite being a Long time customer-my stay was the one cut short. To make this up to me I was promised two additional free days added to the October 2025 stay I had already booked. Shocker-one month prior to this stay I found out the house had again been double booked. The two additional days added on to my reservation were among the 5 days which were not available to me. The sheer incompetence of this resort is astounding. Not even to mention that on arrival at the may 2025 stay-in which I was promised an early check in-I was not permitted entry until 3 hours after their posted check in time. One bathroom in the house was out of order and we had to deal with maintenance workers in the house for the first two days of our stay. The tv in the master bedroom was not working and the ac on the top floor of the house was also out of order. The ac was not fixed in a timely manner. Literally stay anywhere but here!
