Kitty Hawk hotel guide. Independent hotel in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina

"Nice vacation getaway with good sized very clean suite, awesome swimming pool, and very friendly staff. It is a mile or so away from the beach, so a short drive. Recently acquired by Hilton, so poolside bar not yet open, but progress and improvements can be seen."

"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. "

"We got to stay in the upgraded condos! They were beautiful! I had never stayed in the A and B side! Each of one of us had basically an apartment to ourselves. "
