A Guiding Light on the Outer Banks
Follow Star of the Sea (formerly Stella Maris OBX) to your perfect Outer Banks vacation! Located just south of the Nags Head/Kill Devil Hills line, this oceanfront vacation rental is conveniently positioned in the middle of everything: Start your day with coffee at Front Porch Cafe or pick up groceries from Food Lion at The Shoppes at 10.5, just across the street. Popular restaurants like Dirty Dick’s Crab House and Red Drum Grill & Tap House are less than a half mile away, and Nags Head Fishing Pier is only a mile further for early morning walks or an afternoon cast.

Modern Coastal Casual Ambiance 
Large picture windows frame the ocean and fill the top-level living room with natural light, creating a beautiful space to relax together. The open kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, tile backsplash, and ample cabinet space — practical for family meals without feeling crowded. Downstairs, the ground-level rec room is a favorite for kids and teens, complete with a pool table, arcade game, TV lounge area, and full-size refrigerator.

Always on the Water
A large oceanfront deck on the top-level offers sweeping views and plenty of room to unwind. The raised pool deck, accessible from the mid-level, includes an in-ground hot tub and space to lounge between beach trips. A private walkway leads directly to the sand, and the dunetop deck with built-in seating is the perfect place to end the day with drinks in hand, watching the sun settle behind the horizon. At Star of the Sea, the beach is always front and center!

Best house we have been to
This is our 4th house at obx and it is by far the best and our favorite. There is an ice cream place with shave ice right across the street! Has amazing ice cream. About 2 blocks away from the food lion. Kitchen is fully equipped (but we couldn't find a pizza cuttter). Plenty of seating for all of us inside and out. Couches were so comfy. Outside the chairs are so sturdy and not flimsy to where you feel like you're going to fall over. When we got here one bedroom sliding door lock, the outside pool light, a shelf in the fridge and a shower head were all broken. They offered to come fix things but we just suggested the shower head. The rest didn't bother us and could wait till we left. The elevator was a huge help to us with several people in our family needing the assistance. The path to the beach is not that bad either. There are some stairs but dune isn't so bad climbing to go back to the house. There were a few things that we did not care for about the house however it was not enough to bother and we made it work and we will absolutely be back next year. It says there's parking for 8 cars. However we had 2 cars a large suv and a huge truck and it was pretty tight. I don't know how 8 cars would fit. Also there's not a way to get to the outside deck to go down to the pool from the second floor without going through someone's bedroom. The pool is basically between level 1 and 2. Not on the first floor. So if you are in the 2 bedrooms that do not go out to the back deck and can't go through someone's bedroom you need to either go up to the top floor then down or down to the bottom then back up to go the second floor where the pool is. Getting a house with an elevator meant we had a person with physical issues. I wish there was a safety grab handle getting out of the shower on the top floor. Other than that the house is amazing and we had the best week. Everything was amazing.

Loved this house
Absolutely loved this house. So easy to access beach and the elevator made it so much easier for my husband with his walking problem. It also had everything we needed for cooking.
