About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Owner Managed, Pool, Hot Tub, EV Charger, Putt Putt, Corn Hole, Linens Included…

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 and a private pool is available starting in the 2026 rental season.

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 pool, 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!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take advantage of recreation opportunities including an outdoor pool and a hot tub.

Best house we’ve ever stayed at in Outer Banks

So cozy! But cozy in a comfy way not meaning small at all. The open floor plan was terrific. All of the beds and linens were very comfortable. Everything was super logically stored and super well thought out. We have a family lake house that we are getting ready to add onto for our expanding crew and I got some really smart user friendly ideas from the whole set up of their lovely home. We really enjoyed every inch of the house from the putt putt under the house to the multiple family friendly screened in porch areas. And the location! So close to the beautiful never over crowded beach! Plenty of seating and kitchen stuff. If you don’t want to go out to eat you are going to find everything you could possibly need in this house and more! The fenced in yard was money for our dogs. And with their cool sliding door access to the festive yet practical area under the house I always felt like they were safe. So many things that are clearly there for their own family of varied ages that they share with their summer guests!!This year we were an all adult crew but our daughter is 8 months pregnant so we were checking out all of the things they have to offer a familywith babies and young children and they had it all and then some. They even had a very nice mattress to put inside the pack and play bed to make things more cozy for a baby to sleep on. I am sure I left off several really cool things that we all loved about the Stella Blue but that’s bc there are to many to keep track of!

Great place

We had a wonderful time at Stella Blue. Great location, easy beach access and a great house. The only drawback is the amount of palmetto bugs/roaches that show up at night in the house kinda freaked me out. Also nobody seemed to clean up after their dogs in the dog area. My husband ended up cleaning it up bc there was so much dog poop in the yard.

Ripples of Joy

A dear friend is a lifelong Grateful Dead fan. So, we decided to surprise him with Stella Blue. While he was thrilled, so too was everyone else. We had many delicious meals together and lots of time on the beach. One person went on a deep sea fishing trip, and we all ate sushi and wasabi. Stella Blue is beautifully provisioned. It was cozy and playful. We are so grateful for the experience.

Nice house in good location

Cool Grateful Dead decor, nice stereo, good location between beach road and quiet street. Putt-putt, pool table, and cornhole under the house provide for fun, especially if you get bad weather for the beach. Roomy, and well-stocked kitchen. Perfect for our family, although one more bathroom would be a nice touch.

Amazing! Grateful to have stayed here!!!

This is the best beach house we have ever rented, and we have been coming to the Outer Banks for decades! Sparkling clean, beautiful decor, wide and uncrowded beach, dog friendly, and so much fun. Our entire family enjoyed the mini golf and pool table in the evenings with festive lighting and music. Our dogs loved the fenced in area to enjoy the outdoors. We just can’t say enough about the owners and their attention to every detail! Highly recommend Stella Blue for a perfect summer getaway.

Nags Head Awesomeness

We were thoroughly delighted with Stella Blue. It had everything we needed, plenty of room, and some very cool touches. The kids loved the psychedelic swirly lights!! The putt-putt course under the house was cleverly made, fun, and quite challenging, with the extra bonus of the cornhole game built in. The screened porch was a lovely place to hang out. The location was so nice for us to ride bikes, as there was very little traffic, and what traffic there was, travelled carefully and slowly. Getting to the beach was an easy short walk, the little bridge to get across was cool. We loved watching for the tiny fish on our way there. Tiffany was very responsive to our questions and made sure everything was pleasant. It was a wonderful vacation, we all enjoyed it immensely!

Once again, Stella Blue was the perfect choice for our OBX vacation with friends and pups! We LOVE this property!! The dogs can run and play while we relax and we don't have to worry about them because everything is so secure with fencing! A short walk to the beach, a quiet neighborhood and all the comforts & necessities a home should have. We love the pool table, putt putt course and arcade game too!! Owners are always so kind and responsive and we feel like they're OUR family! Ready to book for 2023 already!

Amazing stay!!

This house was FUN! It’s a Grateful Dead themed house that is super dog friendly! Our family dog had an amazing time and we were not worried about her with the dog yard. There is a wonderful sidewalk to walk your pets here as well. The master bed is amazing! Comfy with 5 stars. There are 2 showers in the master bed which was helpful. The shower outside - the Box of Rain - was clean and refreshing. There were extra chairs & umbrellas there if we needed. The most amazing thing was how well stocked the kitchen was. If you’re at the beach & want to cook. We found everything we needed & we cooked all our meals. The charcoal grill came with a chimney starter which was extremely thoughtful! We would stay here again & again! Thanks for being such amazing hosts!

Spectacular!

Everything was so thoughtfully curated, labeled, and organized that we could relax into vacation immediately. I loved the theme, the location, and the amenities. Main floor and 2nd floor masters were perfect for our group of 8, and everything was spacious, clean, and lovely. Pics do not do lighting justice, but everything in (and under) house was in fantastic condition in sun-drenched happiness. We played a TON of putt-putt, cornhole, and pool — almost as much as when we thought we’d be there during pandemic lockdown. Check-in and -out were a breeze, and the owner was incredibly responsive, helpful, and wonderful. I hope to be back next summer.
