About this property
Southport Tree Escape - King Treehouse Downtown
"Take me back…we stayed a long weekend at the Tree Escape for our babymoon. It couldn’t have been a more relaxing, comfortable, and peaceful place to stay. We kept commenting on how thoughtful every touch was - a well equipped kitchen, luxurious linens and bath products, a front porch with rockers to enjoy our morning coffee.” - Grace, ‘25 Escape to your private vaulted studio nestled in the trees — the perfect setting for a romantic getaway or peaceful weekend retreat. Hosted by year-round locals, this charming guesthouse blends contemporary comfort with the relaxed feel of small-town Southport.
Perfect for two guests seeking a quiet retreat close to downtown and the waterfront.
Key Features • King suite with luxury linens • Private deck with rocking chairs and fire table • Fully equipped kitchen • 58" HDTV with streaming services • Fast Wi-Fi • Easy access to Southport’s waterfront, dining, and shops
You’ll also find modern conveniences including a Nest thermostat, USB charging ports, and your own washer and dryer — so feel free to pack light. There’s even a comfy loveseat for movie nights or rainy days, though the private deck will likely become your favorite spot.
Spend sunny mornings relaxing with a cup of coffee before heading downtown or out to the nearby beaches. In the afternoons, watch for wildlife passing through the trees or settle in on the deck for a quiet evening under the stars.
"My goodness, what a gorgeous little oasis in the trees! I love this place so much. It’s got anything and everything you could possibly need; it’s so clear how much thought and care was put into it. It’s private and spacious and surrounded by the most beautiful trees. The birds, squirrels, deer and wild turkeys all right there on the property were such a treat, and the sunsets and sunrises were absolutely stunning as well. I spent a lot of time on the porch!” Jamie, - ’25
Sunset is the perfect time to relax on the deck, uncork a bottle of local wine, light the fire table and snuggle in for a cozy evening!
