Stella
A hidden gem nestled within woods and water neighbors the vast nature of the Croatan Game Land.

Stella, North Carolina, with hiking, fishing, camping, and more, this unincorporated waterfront community in Carteret County is a treasure to the local area. Less than twenty miles to Jacksonville and Emerald Isle, and only ten from Swansboro, Stella offers rural living with city comforts a short trek away. A sweet spot to watch sunsets or bump elbows with the friendly residents, Stella is a lovely place to call home.
