Guest accommodations include king or queen beds with luxury bedding and modern amenities. The property houses multiple dining venues, including the renovated Lifesaving Station restaurant serving southern coastal cuisine with locally-sourced ingredients and fresh seafood. A full-service spa provides treatments ranging from massages to facial therapies, complemented by an adult-focused Tranquility Pool. The resort offers sunrise yoga classes and specialized wellness programs.

Located 62 miles from Norfolk International Airport, Sanderling Resort provides direct access to dune-rippled beaches and the area's natural attractions.
Pros
Multiple dining options including oceanfront venues and local seafood specialties
Dedicated adult Tranquility Pool separate from other resort pools
Private beach access on both sound and ocean sides
Comprehensive spa offering specialized treatments and yoga classes
Executive meeting facilities with waterfront views

“The Sanderling, with its enviable beachfront location, has great potential. I appreciate its pet-friendly policy and the access it grants to both the ocean and sound. However, based on what I've gathered, it seems a renovation is overdue to truly restore its charm.”
Isabella MooreSenior Editorial Director at Petfriendlyhotels
