Could have been better

It was nice, room had been recently updated. It was missing a bath mat so stepping out of the shower was very slippery. Also they were short on staff so checking in and out was a very long wait. I’m sure things will improve

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.

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.

We came from Sterling, Va., to spend a few days at the beach. We were given a warm welcome by Heather who checked us in, showed us around, and gave us excellent suggestions about things to see and do. You would not be able to find a more gracious host than Heather. The Sanderling was recently remodeled and is beautiful. The beach is just a few steps out the door and was pristine. The Sanderling provides chairs, towels and umbrellas. The food was delicious and we ate frequently at the restaurant. Highly recommend this hotel and a special shout out to Heather for making our visit special.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
