Summary: Locked out of our room, Ocean view was blocked by sand dunes so not a true upgrade; deck and windows dirty and screens off sliding glass door. Room was ok but not exceptional. The ice machine in our building was broken the whole time we were there. Needs a lot of TLC and upgrades. Second visit here and underwhelmed. Also had billing issues where they overcharged my credit card.

Summary: Our room was beautiful and clean. The beach was not crowded and chairs and umbrellas were plentiful. We brought our dog and had a great time. The pools and hot tubs were nice and clean. Staff could be more responsive and consistent. Our room had the smallest refrigerator we had ever seen. We did enjoy free coffee every morning in the lobby.

Summary: We stayed here a few years ago and it was lovely and perfect. This year was different. It is still nice and clean but not the same. They remodeled everything and not in a good way. It just seems like they don’t really care now. The hot tub was not working and very dirty. The staff is great but very few staff. It’s just not worth the money now.

Summary: The staff were friendly, efficient and responded quickly to any issues. The pool was amazing, very clean as was the hot tub. My complaint is with the entry/exit doors on the North building. Between the wind and occupants not closing the doors gently, all you heard up until midnight was the slamming of those doors. It was very loud and kept us up most of the night. We reserved 2 rooms for our party of 4, thinking they would be next to each other but that was not the case. One room only had 1 chair with a small table. The other room had 2. A stairway down to the beach would definitely better serve the elderly and out of shape guests. That hill was a hard climb. We had a good time despite a few hiccups but I think we will rent a house next visit.

Summary: If you’re looking for the perfect dog-friendly getaway in the Outer Banks, I can’t recommend the Sanderling Resort enough. The entire experience feels peaceful, upscale, and incredibly welcoming, especially for dog owners.
One of the best parts is the private beach access, where you can spend the entire day relaxing with your pups. The resort sets up umbrellas and lounge chairs for you, making it so easy to settle in and just enjoy the ocean breeze together. It honestly feels like a luxury beach day designed for both humans and dogs.
The property itself is absolutely beautiful, bright, clean, airy, and incredibly well-maintained. Everywhere you look has that calm coastal vibe that instantly puts you at ease. The rooms and common spaces feel fresh and inviting without being stuffy.
The restaurant on the property is also top-notch. Great food, great atmosphere, and such a nice bonus when you don’t feel like leaving the resort.
If you truly want to disconnect, recharge, and have a relaxing vacation with your dogs, this place is 100% worth it. It’s one of those rare resorts that actually delivers the peaceful getaway experience it promises.
