Stella Maris Hostel

Coastal North Carolina


This great hostel, located in a 1913 house, is a good-value getaway within walking distance of downtown. It's small – just two six-bed dorms (one mixed, one female) and one small private room with shared bathroom – and is mostly DIY (coded access, self check-in, staff not always in).

There is a decent guest kitchen, a small common area and backyard hang space. Hardwood flooring throughout.
