8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (526)
Immerse in coastal tranquility at this Kitty Hawk retreat with direct beach access and comfortable loungers. The 2 outdoor pools, full-service spa, and local cuisine at Lifesaving Station restaurant create a perfectly relaxing seaside escape.

"The location was fine and the bed was comfortable. Other than that, the inn didn’t have much else to recommend it. We stayed here twice many years ago and we had fond memories of the beauty and service. The staff we saw were nice but the available amenities were minimal. The furniture was tired and the decorating was a bit weird. I’ve experienced better amenities and services in mid-priced business hotels. The Sanderling Inn was a poor value."
