The Sanderling

Peaceful resort spanning across the barrier island from the ocean to the sound. Excellent food in the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. You would need a top floor room to be able to see the sea over the dune. $300 charge for the dog seemed steep.

I would not recommend staying here unless it is in season. We stayed out of season and nothing was open. No amenities were open (aside from one restaurant), no waters given and no bathrooms within any reasonable walking distance to the pool were open, the hotel lobby bathroom wasn't open, the only restroom was very far from the pool and subsequently, all the children must have urinated in the pool and jacuzzi - I never saw a single child leave. Subsequently, myself, my two children and my friend's child all came home with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (look it up, it's disgusting!) because of it. The rates were still quite pricey for nothing being opened and there was no warning on the website saying that there was very limited use of things.

Recent redo made property feel like the Hamptons. The Ocean Studio we stayed in was beautiful and perfect for our 3 day getaway. Bed and linens provided comfortable rest. Everything and everyone was most accommodating. We will definitely return. We did enjoy sitting by Tranquility pool. Chaises are in need of upgrades but are still usable, just not in condition expected for such a beautiful property.

Our hone took great pictures but not what we got. We must have been the first renters of the season. This house definitely needs work and to be upgraded. For the price we paid it should have been a lot better. Plus the Mang. Heather didn't have a care in the World and didn't send us the paperwork we requested suggesting something was wrong with our emails. She was no pleasant at all...

I never write bad reviews. But I really feel like this needs one. I gave one star because the saving grace of this hotel was the beautiful beach. Otherwise, it wasn’t the stay we hoped for. First, our reservation was lost. We were told it’s because the deposit wasn’t paid, but it was. And we were given a room with a parking lot view instead of the dune beach view we booked. I’m also eight months pregnant, and our room was in a building with no elevator and five flights of stairs. I’m still in pain from having to go up and down the stairs so much. Also, it was our Babymoon, and I ordered a special amenity to be delivered to make it nice. But it was brought like we ordered towels or something with nothing special. If we were staying at a holiday inn, I would have no complaints. But for the price point, it wasn’t worth the stay. We just came from a mountain resort where we had an elevator, the view we booked, and were made to feel special during our trip. I loved the beach, but I would book somewhere else. It’s not worth the money.
