“Thoughtful renovation exceeded expectations!”

Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW via mobile

After years of coming to the Sanderling under previous ownership, I was excited to see the renovations by the new owners. The inn looks fantastic! Tons of natural light, beautiful decorating with clean, minimalist lines without being overly contemporary. We stayed in a poolside suite and the room was terrific. Comfortable sitting area, spacious room and huge bathroom! The fire... More

The wife and I managed to sneak away to the Sanderling minus the kids. We arrived to a completely refreshed entrance, lobby and sitting area with views of the dunes, gorgeous pool and the fire pit. Immediately felt we were at the beach on vacation. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Our room was excellent for the price with... More

Reviewed 3 June 2013

This is going to be a long review because I want you all to know the details and judge for yourself before you decide whether to stay here. I've traveled around the world and stayed at many different resorts. I have never thought to ask whether there were "quiet hours" before I made a reservation, but that will be my... More

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately a very fair assessment of this weekend which was unprecidented for us as well. We have always had a 10pm curfew specific to music. The firepit hours which are new this year (only a month into it) are being evaluated to ensure that guests are not inconvenienced. In this particular instance as we reacted... More

“Sandbar Disappointing”

Reviewed 1 June 2013 via mobile

We just left from eating lunch at the outdoor restaurant at the Sanderling Resort called the Sandbar. We were disappointed in the quality of the food. We both had the Fish Tacos and they were very bland and for what we got, very pricey...$13. We were excited to see they had Pacifico on tap (makes us think of Mexico) but... More

“Beautiful Renovation But Still Lacking”

Reviewed 28 May 2013

To begin, I wish that Trip Advisor allowed for 1/2 stars because this would be a solid 3 and 1/2 stars for me. This review is based on paying <$400 a night plus $25 a day resort fees, so what may have been acceptable if we were paying $200 is no longer when considering the higher price. I've been going...

“Dreadful in Duck.”

In December of 2012 I received an email announcing renovations at the Sanderling. We have been to the Inn many times and decided that we would return over Memorial Day. I made the reservation for a Premium Oceanfront King in December 2012. Apparently that is not enough notice for the "new and improved" Sanderling to actually provide a room with... More

We are sorry the new "re-imagined" Sanderling did not live up to the expectations. While it was important to add the new services and amenities (like the pools) to the east side of the property we also wanted to maintain some of those tranquil areas that have been enjoyed for years. The Grand Gallery and additional lounge/seating areas where the... More

“New Owners, New Pools, New Energy”

If you have stayed at The Sanderling in the past, you will not recognize the new incarnation. It is a much improved new setting. The new owners have made a huge investment in the inn, adding 2 new much-needed pools, an outdoor bar and restaurant and generally brightening up everything. They have yet to upgrade all the rooms but that... More

Thank you so much for your many visits to Sanderling and glad you enjoyed the many changes we made over the winter. We appreciate you telling others about it and look forward to you returning many times in the future. More
