The air conditioning did not work went out the first day we had to cut our stay short! There were roaches in the bathroom and in the hallway! Complained about it, but did not get resolved! So we just left

Great stay and clean rooms. The building exterior needs repair. The pool was awesome and not crowded. Great pool service also. Definitely would stay again.

Daily housekeeping services were severely lacking especially at the price point of this hotel. Bed sheets were never changed during a 5 night stay even after requesting it. Black mold in shower tile/grout. Used Qtip/drinking straw, and trash/hair in drawers upon arrival/check in. Found roach in bathroom one night. Cobwebs in corners of room and light fixtures. Found hotel room door unlocked/opened after coming back from day at the beach. Dirty outdoor balcony furniture.
This hotel might be "renovated" but the inadequate upkeep and housekeeping makes it undesirable to return next year. Management should take a long look and try to fix the inadequacies before they start losing return guests.

Far exceeded expectations!!
The Sanderling is absolutely magical. I entered check in and was greeted by Lisa who is so helpful and kind. Our king suite was roomy and offered amazing views and the decor is beautiful. The two pools, beach set up with chairs are umbrella are included. The property has a Lifesaving station restaurant. It is amazing to see how the rescues occurred off the coast years ago and see the museum pieces on display in the restaurant. We spent two nights and truly relaxed. I can’t wait to return.

Great check in experience. First night here. Arrived at night. Great service and beautiful room.

Check-in was average. Easy parking. Room had about 30 mosquitoes in it. Not ideal. Nighttime brought more. The lower lobby of our building literally had 2 swarms of mosquitoes on the walls. We’re talking apocalyptic number of bugs. Easy to fumigate, I’d presume. Not relaxing. Not worthy of another stay.

I was skeptical when I read the Sanderling was ditching the coast guard orange umbrellas and cushions that were symbolic of the resort; however, I was pleasantly surprised how easy on the eyes the new colors are. It was a good decision. The new carpets, paint, color coordinations, they are all home runs.
The Sanderling is the crown jewel of the Outerbanks.
I have just one minor suggestion: Get rid of the two stroke engine powered blowers used to push sand back onto paths. Electric blowers are powerful enough these days and far less jarring.

The room was a nice size and clean. Had to ask for thongs that should have been restocked at cleanings. Will no stay there again.

Not what we expected
Check-in experience was okay. Just handed a resort map and information sheet. Told that it had "all info" we needed.
Found later that they should have been directing "traffic" to there new restaurant Theodosia. They made zero attempt to do so!!!
It is not cheap to stay here. Really expected to be welcomed much, much better.
