About this property
Hot Tub, EV Charger, Putt Putt, Corn Hole, Replenished Beach, possible pool
NOTE: A private pool is being built and is near completion. However, unknowns are still unknown, the weather is a huge factor. Therefore, the prices for the remainder of the season reflect no pool but there is a good chance that one will be available for your visit. If that happens it’s a win for you if you book before it is completed. On that note: We are big fans of the "under promise, over deliver" mentality. Therefore, you will find no stretched pictures in this listing (i.e. no square refrigerator or oddly rectangular oven to make the kitchen look bigger than it actually is), what you see is - at least - what you get.
Our beautiful home is located in South Nags Head, NC 27959 - mile post 21 - just north of the national seashore and near the Oregon Inlet where the great fishing spots are. It is a Grateful Dead themed house and is a perfect place for those who want to escape the crowded northern beaches to be in a more relaxed carefree area without having to drive an extra hour to Avon or Salvo, plus the beaches are dog friendly in Nags Head (at some of the other beaches, no dogs are allowed on the beach during the day in the summer). Further, linens are included (just bring beach towels) and there is a beach kayak for you to use at your own risk. A hot tub was added to the front deck in 2025 so you can watch the beautiful sunsets while relaxing with the jets.
About Stella Blue OBX: The home offers 4 bedrooms (2 with king beds, 1 with a queen bed, and another with a trundle - full over twin). All rooms have either a sound and/or beach view).
There are 2 large bathrooms inside (one bathroom has both a shower and a tub) and there is also an outdoor shower. The beds are very comfortable and there are TVs in every room with a Roku that offers Spectrum Cable and Disney Plus via Wi-Fi.
Other Features: The kitchen has a wet bar (a second sink with a drink refrigerator underneath). It is large, open, and is fully stocked (wine keys, oyster knives, Kitchenaid stand mixer, Vitamix blender, Cephalon and Hexclad pots and pans, electric knife sharpener, coffee bean grinder, french press, automatic coffee pot with Keurig option, Nespresso Virtuo Pop machine, and all the other stuff you'd expect).
The house has gorgeous tile and hardwood on the main floor and carpet on and upstairs; the entire home was renovated in 2017 and we continuously improve/reinvest into our home every year.
We are non-smokers with extremely firm rules to not smoke OR VAPE inside the house. Not only do we rent our home through VRBO, this is our personal vacation home - we're very lucky to only live a few hours away so we are able to visit the house regularly (usually between renters) to ensure sure this house stays up to our high standards.
Other extras include a hot tub, vintage video game table (with games like Dig Dug, Pacman, and Donkey Kong), board games, 9 holes of outdoor putt putt, an outdoor pool table as well as a fenced in dog yard so there is something here for everyone whether people or pups!

About the host
Hosted by Tiffany Trapasso
We bought the house after renting houses every year in the Outer Banks and wishing we could stay longer every time we had to leave. We found Stella Blue in the worst of worst conditions and fell in love. It was 90% gutted and perfect. We were able to pick out all new flooring, appliances, furniture, siding, and almost everything else. We were able to do most of the work ourselves, allowing us to invest the highest quality materials into our house while being confident that no corners were cut.
Through our renovations, our aim was to not only make this a home away from home for us but also for anyone who rents our house. There is a great sound system with speakers inside and out that has Sirius/XM radio, smart TVs in the bedroom are large for each room with the Spectrum cable app ready to go, the beds are incredibly comfortable. There is also a lot to do here other than relax on the beach, which may be enough for some. There is a single person kayak, a 10 hole putt-putt course under the house with golf clubs and balls, a vintage arcade table inside, an outdoor pool table, a pool coming in 2026, a hot tub, and everything a cook should need in our kitchen (plus some great pointers on where to get the best local seafood). We’re excited to share our home with you!
Why they chose this property
South Nags Head is absolutely beautiful! We are surrounded by the National Seashore (steps to our south once on the beach and it serves as a buffer between the sound and homes). This means the beaches are far less crowded while still not being too far from the amenities associated with being further north. Additionally, the best seafood around is almost all brought in through Oregon Inlet and can easily be purchased to cook at home right over in Wanchese (visible across the sound from our top deck but a pretty short drive away for AMAZING year-round seafood). Further, Manteo is a short drive, just north or Wanchese, and offers many fun family friendly attractions like events at Roanoke Island Festival Park, a stroll through Elizabethan Garden or the Aquarium, and great food in a downtown style setting. South Nags Head truly feels like the best of all worlds in the Outer Banks and we hope that you feel the same.
