"A beachfront Outer Banks retreat in Duck, North Carolina, the Sanderling offers airy, recently refreshed accommodations across three buildings, seafood-forward dining at Theodosia with sound views, casual pastries and poolside drinks at on-site bars, and a renovated full-service spa with updated treatment rooms and expanded manicure/pedicure facilities." - CNT Editors
"A higher-end oceanfront resort option offering more luxurious amenities for travelers who prefer hotel comforts over a private beach house while still staying close to the shore and local activities." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.

"Award-winning chef Vivian Howard is opening a new waterfront restaurant at the Sanderling resort in Duck, North Carolina as the beachfront property reopens after winter renovations to mark its 40th anniversary. Serving as the resort’s anchor restaurant, the menu will be rooted in the Outer Banks—drawing on salt marshes, fishing boats, recipes passed down, and island-inspired flavors—to showcase Howard’s inventive approach to Southern cuisine. The restaurant is named for Aaron Burr’s daughter; her disappearance at sea during the War of 1812 and the local lore that her ghost haunts the area help shape the waterfront setting and the venue’s narrative. The restaurant is expected to open in time for Memorial Day weekend." - Erin Perkins
"A beachfront resort in Nags Head offering a serene retreat."
"On the Outer Banks, I recommend this resort for couples who want to marry with waves crashing feet away and then choose from five cocktail/reception spaces — Kimball's Kitchen (up to 60), Keeper's Loft (up to 50), Event House & Deck for up to 100, or the Pavilion, a 180-person climate-controlled indoor venue right on the sound." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.
