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!

The kitchen was everything that we could have expected. It had all updated appliances and utensils along with plates and silverware. The unit was immaculate. The surrounding was a calming experience to just relax or to walk or drive a short distance into town. We would definitely come back

This was a perfect spot for us to stay while in town! The space was incredibly well-appointed, with thoughtful touches throughout that made it feel both comfortable and special. Everything was spotless upon arrival, and it matched the listing exactly...no surprises, just as advertised.The atmosphere made it easy to relax, and it was clear a lot of care has gone into maintaining the property. It felt like a true getaway while still being convenient for everything we needed during our stay.We had a great experience overall and would absolutely return to Southport Tree Escape in the future. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!
