The Stellar Story
When John founded Stellar Beach, he did so with the intent to help others create memories with friends and family at the beach like those he had created with his family over the years.
John and his wife, Adel, purchased their first vacation home in 2012. What started with a single-family vacation home quickly became a vacation rental company that spans over the beautiful beaches of eastern North Carolina with over 40 vacation rental properties. We give our guests the chance to discover some of North Carolina’s most beautiful settings in high-end homes worthy of your vacation time. With a team that is passionate about our mission, focused on customer service and local to our property locations, we are constantly searching for new ways and opportunities to help create truly unforgettable experiences for our guests.
Our Team
We stop at nothing to provide relaxing vacations the way they are meant to be experienced, shared, and remembered.
The power behind our stellar service is our amazing team. These individuals are just a call or click away during each step of your vacation. They’ve spent time at our rental properties, experienced local attractions, eaten at local restaurants, and scouted out the best experiences and things to do. They’re stationed on the ground at each of our property locations to help make your getaway more memorable, and smooth any snags along the way.
