Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can stay at Stella Maris?
15 people can stay here, but we do have two bunk beds which might not be comfortable for some adults.
Who cleans the house?
We have a cleaning crew that takes care of the heavy cleaning. We do ask guests to take their trash out for pickup on Saturday, and put all their dirty sheets and towels in the bags provided.
I want to stay again. How do I book for next year?
At the end of your stay you have 48 hours (Monday), to let us know if you would like the same week for next year. If you wish to change your week, the calendar will be updated in September so you can check back then to see what is available. Booking will be first come first serve at this point.
We want to bring our dog. What are the rules for pets?
We do not allow pets in the house since cleaning afterwards is more extensive (for allergy reasons).
When is trash pickup?
Trash is picked up on Wednesdays and Saturdays during the summer. Cans are under the house and can be taken to the curb after 8 pm the night before and should be brought back up to the house after pickup (for Wednesday).
We have friends stopping by. How is parking?
The Town of Sunset Beach started paid parking this year (2025). Parking passes are tied to the license plate of a vehicle so friends can't borrow them. There is space for 6-7 cars in the driveways on either side of the house, depending on car size and if one parks between the tree and the house. You are not allowed to park along the road under the tree, as it is too close to the fire-hydrant.
Do you take credit card?
We currently do not accept credit or debit cards. Our preferred types of payment at the moment are check, Zelle, and Venmo.
