This review is of Sanderling Raquet and Swimming Club located in Duck Rd., Duck. A community pool…read morefor non-members staying at one of Sanderling rental houses. It has a tennis court and a gym(members only) on the second floor. Place is impeccably clean including the bathroom. It has shower rooms and small place to change. That's why the four star. Small patch of lawn is well manicured. However, the woman working the day of Aug. 21 at around 12noon turned us off. Her manner of telling the kids not to stay in the lap lane or not holding on to the pool rope divider verged on rude reprimand and she did this while on her cell phone. We never came back. It was probably the intention. Not that it matters to her or Sanderling. It was our first time renting a house without a pool. Lesson learned. The older guy was nicer.

Terrific swim and tennis facility for Sanderling residents. Open 8-6 during summer season…read more Highlights: 1 - Phenominal fitness center! Still fairly new nautilus equipment, med balls, and cardiovascular equipment. The fitness center is on the second floor of a new clubhouse and looks out a bank of floor to ceiling windows with gorgeous views of the sound. The cardio is also hooked up to cable TV so come watch Sportscenter or an episode of Law and Order and get an hour in on the treadmill with a beautiful view. 2 - Clubhouse - the new clubhouse is great. Large screen TV if you want to get together with some friends. Even the bathrooms for the pool are very nice and high end. 3 - Crab dock - make sure to get some line, a net, and seem chicken and see how many blue crabs you can pull in! 4 - Pool - very good functional pool. Has a lap lane for those who want to get a workout it. A pool that still has a dive pool deep enough to dive. Wish the pool had a beach entry but it was built too long ago. There is a kids pool for the little ones. 5 - Tennis courts - always in good shape. Make sure to call the pool to reserve your time.

Incredible accomodations. thanks a million for referring OBX celebrations they are truly excellent…read more Chef Sam and Robin the event manager went above and beyond for our group.

Our beach house was with walking distance from this park. Which was nice little detour to do if you…read moreweren't in the mood for the beach. Especially since it can get quite hot while down here. There is so much to do in this park. Throughout the year, and especially in the summer, they have events. During the summer, it is almost daily events that you can partake in. They had music in the park one night, but with our place being so close, all we had to do was sit on the porch to listen. There is also a farmer's market, exercising in the park, I believe art in the park. If that is not your thing, there is definitely things here that could keep you busy. It should go without saying, there is a stage/bandshell area. There is a picnic area if you wanted to bring food and hang out. If you have kids, they definitely have you covered here. There is a decently sized playground (right near the public restrooms, convenient). This playground is quite extensive and inclusive. Slides, swings, seesaws, monkey bars...you name it, it is here. A lot of them are wheelchair accessible. Then there is the sandbox, complete with a turtle making it look like you are on the beach. The sidewalks here are interesting as well. Every so often you will see a seashell in the cement. Turtle tracks near the sandbox. Fossils on the climbing rocks for the jungle gym. They really put some thought into this place. Also available here for you to enjoy, horseshoe pit, cornhole, basketball court, pickle ball court, and bocce ball court. The thing about the bocce ball court, they have the state champs for Special Olympics here, complete with a plaque of sorts. One of the neatest thing here, you know those free little libraries? They got one that is a little free art library. Tiny little pieces of art that you can take with you. Bookmarks, small drawings, magnets, shells, all free for the taking. Supplied by the local community or those visiting.

Great park with lots of parking. If you can't find immediate parking there's a lot at the school…read more Just drive past the park and turn right and turn into the school lots. On Thursdays there's a nice farmers and craft market. There's a nice produce stand with lots of local product. Many of the stalls are local artists and bakers. I love lots of the beach theme products, all very good quality.

To my surprise, this park was one of the highlights of our trip to the Outer Banks. We liked it so…read moremuch, we visited twice that week. Park admission is free which was a big surprise for us. There are hardly any services here (which I guess is why it's free to enter). What makes this place so cool is that you walk from the parking lot for just a couple minutes and you feel like you're on the set of a movie (think of the desert in Star Wars or Dune). You then climb to the top of one of the dunes and you can see the ocean on one side and the sound on the other.

Jockey's Ridge State Park is one of the best spots to visit in the Outer Banks. The massive dunes…read moreare incredible to see and fun for kids to climb, run around, or roll down. It's the tallest living sand dune system on the East Coast, and the views from the top are amazing, especially at sunset. The visitor center has some neat exhibits about the history and ecology of the dunes, and the rangers are helpful with tips on where to go. People are out there flying kites or even taking hang gliding lessons, which makes it a lively place. Admission is free and it's a unique experience you don't want to miss.

Small clubhouse with refreshments, bathrooms with showers, indoor seating and generous size patio with tables, seating, and fire pits. Daily (weekday) mid-day hour long sessions to get in some good practice and hit a ton of balls (Feeding Frenzy) and two-hour evening sessions (ran similar to a high school practice) with instruction, drills, and real play. Tuesdays are for kids only. The rest of the week is open to all ages. Saturdays offer two-hour sessions for beginners and/or those who have not played in a while and would like some refreshers. Saturdays also offer Feeding Frenzy. Very reasonable membership price - and if you're not a member, affordable session prices of $20 per hour. Lessons are available as well. New addition of Cornhole more recently which have been set up for true tournament (or leisure) play. They did a great job with the setup of this new space. If you want to play tennis, learn tennis, or improve your tennis...regardless of your level, I highly recommend checking out Cape Henry. They have a wonderful community of members, coaches and staff, alike.

If you're a fan of tennis, no matter what your level of playing is, you need to check out CHRC…read more This place has always something going on - classes, tournaments, social events, you name it. And Darryl (the club owner) is awesomely welcoming to all. 3 outdoor American clay courts, 2 indoor, nice outside sitting area, a couple picnic tables spread throughout the courts (no ON the courts though, hah), a little area inside by the offices to sit, read, watch TV, etc. Great facility to get your game on, watch some tennis (whether it's on TV or right in front of you!), and altogether have a good time!
