About this property
Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Currituck Sound, this oceanfront retreat offers a variety of accommodations, each featuring private balconies or patios with ocean, sound, or resort views. Thoughtfully designed interiors create a serene, stylish ambiance, perfect for a relaxing escape. Guests can indulge in a diverse culinary experience, including the highly anticipated Theodosia, an all-new dining concept by renowned chef Vivian Howard, set to debut in late Spring 2025. The resort also features the renewed Beach House Bar, ideal for morning coffee, craft cocktails, and sunset views by the firepit. The Sanderling is located just 6.2 km from Duck, NC, and 18.5 km from the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, with easy access to the Wright Brothers National Memorial and other top Outer Banks attractions.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.5 for a two-person trip.

- Charles United States“We had breakfast twice at the Lifesaving Station and it was wonderful. The food is good and the staff is exceptional!”
