About this property

Southport Tree Escape * King Studio Near Downtown

“Tree Escape is beautiful! Private and peaceful, hidden away in the trees but still so close to everything. With friendly hosts who’ve thought of every little detail designing this space. Highly recommend!!!” – Lindsey, ‘22

Tucked up above a detached garage you’ll truly feel like you’ve escaped to your own secluded treehouse. Head up the stairs of Southport Tree Escape to your own king-sized suite with luxury linens and a spacious, completely updated full bathroom.

There’s also an eat-in kitchen, equipped with all the cookware, appliances, and essentials required to satisfy the most exacting chef. Note: chef alert! While you’re out exploring Southport, be sure to pick up some fresh seafood at nearby markets dotting the Intracoastal Waterway.

You’ll also find modern conveniences including a Nest thermostat, USB charging ports, and, feel free to pack light: you’ve got your own washer/dryer as well. There’s even a comfy loveseat to curl up in for movie nights or rainy days, but, the private deck will probably be your favorite spot!

Spend sunny mornings lounging with a cup of coffee before hitting downtown or the beaches. Or take an afternoon to watch the wildlife pass through.

"As I sat on the deck trying to complete some work, I was visited by Hummingbirds, Dragonflies and Butterflies. It's so very peaceful." – Carolyn, ‘21

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!

Excellent Visit in Snow

We had a wonderful time staying at the Tree Escape. How many times do you get to see snow in Southport? Tree Escape was more beautiful than we expected. We were also able to meet Ginga and Oz which was a bonus.

A great late October stay!

This is a perfect option for a couple's weekend getaway to Southport. We enjoyed 3 perfect nights in the Tree Escape. The location is within a minute's drive of many options for dining, shopping, and sightseeing. We really enjoyed watching the Witches Ride and watching as they moved from spot to spot. The Tree Escape was newly renovated and is being well maintained. It is spotless. This is a good choice.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at the Tree Escape! We spent most of our time on the deck enjoying nature as the loft is pushed back off the street. Ginga has everything you will need. The loft is well organized and very clean. Don't miss out on this gem of a place! Book now! Yes, the shopping and restaurants are right up the street! Genevieve & Duane

Peaceful and relaxing

Close enough to town but far enough away for peace & quiet. The house and furnishings were great. Clean & accommodating. We didn't feel like we were in a hotel, it felt like our own space. Communication was outstanding and the info provided by the owners was above and beyond any we have ever received. We would stay here again and again.

About the host

Host profile image
Life has its ways of letting you know where you need to be. After a health scare in 2014, I decided I wasn’t going to wait any longer to build the home I’d been dreaming of. While I’d traveled all up and down the Carolina Coast, I knew that Southport was where I should be. Soon after, I met my Aussie husband and the rest, as they say, is history. We began a home remodeling business and have spent our time breathing new life into homes in our beloved community and beyond.

Southport Tree Escape: When we decided we wanted our own space to share with guests, we rolled up our sleeves and finished the guest area above our detached garage to create a contemporary coastal retreat - our very own Southport Tree Escape. We were very pleased with the results—and our guests have been, too. We love welcoming guests to Southport, North Carolina - America’s Happiest Seaside Town.

Pinehurst Brews & Snooze: Inspired by fond memories of attending equestrian competitions years ago, we took several weekend getaways to Pinehurst and neighboring Southern Pines. We love the atmosphere and thought it would be a wonderful addition to our portfolio. We had a ball with the remodel and are pleased to offer Pinehurst Brews & Snooze to Pinehurst, North Carolina area travelers.

Our goal is to seek out destinations with a unique flair and set of attractions that guests can’t find elsewhere. Providing them with an exceptional experience in each of our vacation homes is both our pleasure and our #1 priority.

Having done our fair share of traveling, we know what makes a property feel more like a “home” and less like a “unit”. It has been a wonderful experience to decorate and outfit our properties with all the little touches that make our guests feel welcomed and cared for.

We look forward to welcoming you!
