Welcome to Stella Maris — Your Island Retreat Awaits


Formerly known as La Hoya, Stella Maris (Latin for “Star of the Sea”) is a attractively refreshed Bald Head Island home that really has it all. Located in a peaceful forest setting beside a protected dune, this cavernous hideaway offers exceptional privacy while keeping you close to the beach, market, and island stores.


Whether you're a sizable family or two smaller groups traveling together, Stella Maris is designed for comfort, connection, and memorable memories. With five bedrooms, including a freshly modernized crofter suite above the garage, and multiple porches ideal for dining, calming, or reading in the swing, there’s space for everybody to relax.


Island Adventures Await - Each day brings new possibilities. With three four-seater golf carts at your disposal, discover the island’s beaches, nature trails, stores, and dining spots with ease. Ride bicycles along the winding paths, go crabbing or fishing, paddle through the marshes, or simply appreciate the songbirds from one of five inviting porches.


Gather & Savor - The entirely supplied kitchen makes it painless to prepare family meals, and the outdoor grille is ideal for summer cookouts. Fresh linens and towels are supplied in the cleaning fee, and beach chairs are included so you're ready for a day by the ocean. The nearest beach access is just a 2-min. cart ride or a breathtaking 0.4-mile walk away—ideal for catching striking sunsets.


Fresh linens and towels are supplied in the cleaning fee.
