It was our first time staying here and we rented one of the cabins and it was everything we needed for a family of 3. Very clean, comfortable and relaxing. The pool was also very nice, clean and just a short distance from our cabin. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely stay here again 😁

This was our second stay at Hatteras Sands and I cannot praise this group enough. The cabins are camping cabins, no luxury cabins but comfortable none the less! We had an incredible experience from start to finish. Cassandra (I’m so sorry if I messed up your name!) was at the desk whenever we checked in, right as the car we were driving was breaking down. We had driven 420+ miles to get to Hatteras Village and I was nearly hysterical about being stranded. She went above and beyond to ensure I felt safe, secure and do my best to enjoy our vacation. The campground is well maintained and the community cannot be matched. If you stay, you’ve got to try Harbor House Seafood (shrimp boil!) and Dancing Turtle Coffee shop. The campground is within walking distance to the major attractions at Hatteras Village, so while we were unable to drive our car, we still could enjoy the OBX. Thank you all again!

Our stay here was very pleasant and quiet. We got in late after they closed and they had the key in the front ready for us, very convenient for us. Area surrounding the cabins on other side of canal is a little cluttered with debris, but other than that beautiful view and very clean on the inside. The cabins are a bit small, they give the vibe of a tiny home which I think is adorable, but wouldn’t recommend staying with more than 4 people.

Nice cottage. Would be nice if there was a small dresser to place clothes inside. The bigger issue was not being able to see yourself in the bathroom mirror. It is placed so high above the sink you would have to be at least 6 feet tall to see yourself.

Stayed there for our 4th time. Will stay again.

This place is the best price and you really get alot more than what you pay. I'm a big guy (6'7", 290lbs) and the place we stay in, is a cabin. The cabins have a bathroom that I fit very comfortable in and the showers are great too. Lots of hot water and very spacious. Alot of campground cabins I've stayed at have cracks to allow mosquitos to fly in. These are sealed great and stay warm or cool for whatever time of the year. My wife and I love them bc they are pet friendly but you'd never know a pet was in one of these because they always smell good and are very clean. The staff is always accomendating and super nice, if you need something. The grounds are amazing and the clientele of everyone who stays there is good (no sketchos). It's also a good central location in hatteras. We stay there bc I fish alot out of hatteras marina, so it's close. I hope the prices will stay the same bc we plan on staying there unless it closes.

Did not like the fact that there are cockroaches. Talked to the gentleman at the front desk advising we were checking out early due to the cockroaches. He said they spend thousands of dollars every year but can not get rod of all of them. Also when we got there i tries to rent linens since they advertised on their website they have them for rent. We was able to get sheets, toewels and wash clothes but they did not have blankets. We had to go to the dollar store to buy blankets. Over all would not stay there again. They do not offer any type of refunds. I did purchase travel ins so hopefully i get some money back since i paid for to stay from Saturday to Saturday and left of tuesday. I had 2 people traveling with me that have been allgery tested and tested positive for allergy to cockroaches.
