Welcome to Stella Maris — Your Island Retreat Awaits


Formerly known as La Hoya, Stella Maris (Latin for “Star of the Sea”) is a beautifully updated Bald Head Island home that truly has it all. Nestled in a quiet forest setting beside a protected dune, this spacious getaway offers exceptional privacy while keeping you close to the beach, market, and island shops.


Whether you're a large family or two smaller groups traveling together, Stella Maris is designed for comfort, connection, and unforgettable memories. With five bedrooms, including a newly renovated crofter suite above the garage, and multiple porches perfect for dining, relaxing, or reading in the swing, there’s space for everyone to unwind.


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


Gather & Savor - The fully stocked kitchen makes it easy to prepare family meals, and the outdoor grill is perfect for summer cookouts. Fresh linens and towels are included in the cleaning fee, and beach chairs are provided so you're ready for a day by the ocean. The nearest beach access is just a 2-minute cart ride or a scenic 0.4-mile stroll away—ideal for catching breathtaking sunsets.


Fresh linens and towels are included in the cleaning fee.
