MArisa, We're absolutely thrilled that you found our resort to be beautiful! At our little slice of paradise on the Outer Banks, we aim to capture the essence of the beachy, laid-back vibes that make OBX so special. From the stunning views of the North Carolina coast to the cozy charm of our accommodations, we're delighted to know you felt the beauty of our beach retreat. Can't wait to welcome you back for more sun and sand.

Great choice!

Pros: The location is ideal. Close drive to any sights. Easy walk over the dunes to the beach. Life Saving Restaurant & Bar on property was terrific!
Cons: Really can't think of anything...
Location: Easy drives North or South. Make sure you watch your speeds. Police everywhere. Ideal location to walk to the beach or the nature trail.
We had never been to the Outer Banks and weren't really sure where to stay. Chose the Sanderling Resort and it was perfect. From the service, to the staff, meals, room and location everything exceeded our expectations. Of course, our stay was before the busy season and there wasn't a lot going on at the hotel, but that was ideal for us... We ha a wonderful three nights/four days!
