Our group of 11 had a lovely dinner in this newly renovated restaurant in early May. While there were still some rough edges, expect this to be a contender for top dining spots on the outer Banks very soon. The space is beautiful with a clean, simple line and clear tribute to the sea, with decorative items from the old... More

I personally really enjoyed our visit to the Sanderling, but my husband was as pleased which is why I'm rating a four instead of a five. While I loved the ocean views and the room, my husband was disappointed with quality of service at the front desk which he didn't feel was quite up to the standard he was expecting... More

We spent two nights at The Sanderling Resort last may. We left our french doors open all night because we could hear the surf. We loved our room and the beach. Duck is a really cut4e town and we ate at a fantastic restaurant artoss the street-with the best raw oysters I have ever tasted.

I am looking at staying in one of the guest houses on the property, probably the goldeneye. Can anyone provide a review on it? Can we use all of the property amenities if we stay in the house? Is there a golf cart to get around?

Thank you for considering renting one of our homes.

The property is not large enough for a golf cart. Everything is... More

We spent 3 nights (added two after our 1st night) at the Sanderling in July 2012 and wished we could have stayed longer. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly, accomodating staff and our two rooms were lovely, quiet, and comfy. We didn't get to try all they had to offer (spa & Fine Dining), but our...

I love the rooms, the bed, the balcony and all the little touches the Sanderling provided including the complimentary tea and cookies provided daily in the main lodge. The staff couldn't have been nicer. My husband and I took advantage of the "Heroes Welcome" deal as an Army Vet. This deal is also available to fireman and policeman. What a... More

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and took advantage of the HEROES WELCOME. We will do it again in 2013 so keep an eye out. It is good for current and retired military, fire and rescue, police, and medical personnel. Our sister property, Hawks Cay, also does it if you are interested in a visit to the Keys.... More
