You have to remember where you are....it's the Outer Banks of NC. That narrow strip of beautiful coastline that is littered with bad chain restaurants, a wide range of housing developments, and constant traffic. The Sanderling is an oasis of relaxation and pleasure in this area. The staff is wonderful....welcoming and attentive. Truly communicating that they are interested in your... More

Beautiful room, fabulous Spa-like bathroom; Spa was great and my spouse could go with me and relax w/o day pass fee. Everyone there was extremely nice and did everything possible to make our stay special. Our favorite part was watching the sun set over the sound from the outdoor hot tub in January with a bottle of ... :-) More

We just returned from a 3-night stay at the Sanderling. It was our first trip to the Outer Banks, and I can't think of a better place to experience it. The inn was "understated elegance" - a low-key (not stuffy) ambiance, but it was first class in every way. Service was top notch. All three meals at the casual dining... More

We returned to the Sanderling after a long absence and it is just as wonderful as we remembered! Even in the winter! It was so quiet and peaceful. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. The service, excellent. Even though it was chilly, we took many walks on the beach and along the sound. Don't miss the Audubon Society trail that... More

I have been coming to the Outer Banks since 1971 and from Corolla to Ocracoke this hotel is defiantly one of the gems. When I can't muster the energy or time to drive to Ocracoke, the Sanderling Inn makes a beautiful alternative choice. Nestled in between the sound and the ocean just north of Duck you literally are ensconced between... More

We took advantage of a Groupon deal for this resort. The inn is north of the very quaint town of Duck, NC. The service was top notch. The room was on the first floor of the main inn and had a view of the sun deck (since it's winter, obviously nothing to look at). The room was inviting and cozy.... More

My husband and I hadn't booked a place to stay in early January and the property was referred to me by a co worker. We were driving down from Maryland we after deciding not to stay in Virginia Beach, I called the Sanderling to inquire about availability and rates. The agent on the phone was pleasant and provided the rate.... More

We stayed at the Sanderling in September for our Anniversary, and it was a beautiful resort. It's very quiet and we had Dinner in town one night at Aqua Restaurant and they had excellent food (creative gourmet/not too expensive). The only issue we had was that we made reservations at the Sanderling Spa, and my aesthetician was late to the... More

We arrived at the Sanderling on a cold, windy winter night in January of 2012. I have been a visitor to the Outer Banks since 1972 but had always stayed in the Kitty Hawk area. The staff was wonderful as was our room. We ate in the restaurant. The menu, service and our meals were excellent. The wine list was... More
