Amazing view of the Marina! Enjoyed our morning coffee on the screened in porch. The condo was perfectly located and beautifully decorated. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Thank you, Kristina, for your wonderful feedback! We’re happy to hear that Stella Marina provided a beautiful view of the marina for your stay. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another memorable visit in the future!
Great location and beautiful condo. Because we are seniors the stairs were difficult with luggage, etc.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the location and the beautiful condo. We appreciate your comment about the stairs and understand that they can be challenging. We hope to welcome you back again!
Peaceful marina location with the nice views. Good walking, close to golf and grocery shopping. Short drives to Southport and Oak Island. Needs a thorough cleaning; cleaning service not adequate.

Thank you for your review and feedback! We have addressed this issue to our cleaning crew. It was a pleasure hosting you and we hope you to host again!
Great view, convenient to the Marina Restaurant. Rental decor was nice, my suggestion would be kitchen towels used to many paper towels. Gift bag was helpful provided necessities to start the vacation off without running to the store. I recommend this rental and would rent again.

Thank you for your review Tammy! We are glad you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure hosing you. We look forward to hosting you again!
Had a wonderful stay here in St. James. The condo was updated and had the most beautiful view of the marina. We felt safe in the neighborhood and didn’t feel the need to go out and explore much considering our place we stayed was so nice. Beach was very close and any times we had questions it was extremely easy to send a quick text to get an answer. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Thanks so much for your kind words, Cassandra! We're happy you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the view and the beach and felt safe.
We’d love to have you stay with us again in the future!
I had my 80 year old parents with me and the stairs were much steeper than I realized. 30 steps to get to the 3rd floor and while I loved the lay out and decor of the condo, the stairs were taxing to say the least. Everything else was great, great view and perfect location. Just keep the steps in mind if you are traveling with older people.

Thank you, Gina! We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you loved the layout and decor of Stella Marina, as well as the great view and perfect location. We understand that the stairs can be challenging, especially when traveling with older family members, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay anytime!
This was an extreamly disappointing stay. From the start, communication from the host was poor. Golf and the indoor pool were supposed to be included but it wasnt. The beach club and outdoor pool were supposed to be included but they weren't. To top off the stay, we were watching tv in the living room one evening and the largest cocaroach we have ever seen ran across the floor. The host did nothing to accomodate us. False adverising and unclean. They provided 1 roll of toilet paper per person for 8 days, 1 roll of paper towel, 1 dish detergent pod and 2 laundry pods. They provided 1 hotel sized shampoo and 1 hotel sized conditioner in total and 1 towel per person. Save your money and book somewhere else. This host should not be in business because hospitality is not their calling.
