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!
