Private Residences with Resort Amenities

Arriving This Season

The Sanderling Resort offers a collection of three-to-six-bedroom residences, crafted for the way time is meant to be reclaimed. Here, the wild beauty of the Outer Banks meets the effortless indulgence of resort life. Within these expansive seaside retreats, those who matter most find the space to settle in, exhale and finally find their own rhythm by the tide.

A New Way to Stay in the Outer Banks

The coastal getaway, refined. Here, generous space and reclaimed time converge with the effortless ease of resort life. It is more than a seaside retreat; it is the definitive version of life by the sea. For summer 2026, our residences are being thoughtfully refreshed to enhance your home-away-from-home experience.

Dining

The Sanderling offers four on-site dining options along with multiple culinary experiences such as our seaside resort picnic and Sanderling Social Series. Enjoy coffee and pastries from the Beach House Bar, lunch outside at the Sand Bar, or a waterfront fine dining experience at Theodosia. Our Lifesaving station is open for all 3 meals and offers a casual dining experience for the whole family.
