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 tree Escape was absolutely wonderful! Our Hostess was delightful, responsive and just over all very warm and friendly. The tree Escape provided everything you could possibly want and more for your stay! everything was Modern, updated,super clean and I can't even begin to tell you how comfortable that bed was! My husband and I suffer from terrible bad back pain, and it is literally the most comfortable bed we've have ever slept it in our lives. We reached out for the information, so we can order one when we get home it was that great! Southport is a cute Waterfront town and I would highly highly recommend this Airbnb. Reasonably priced and literally one of the best places we've ever stayed! Thank you for everything Ginga!

    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!

    We absolutely loved our stay here! From the moment we walked in, it felt cozy, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together with everything we could possibly need. One of our favorite little touches was the amazing selection of K-cups—such a small detail, but it really made mornings feel extra special. Laying in bed and looking out through the windows felt like being in a treehouse—peaceful, relaxing, and surrounded by such a unique view. We even got to see deer and turkeys right on the property, which made it feel even more special and connected to nature. It was the perfect place to unwind. The location couldn’t have been better. We loved being able to walk into Southport anytime—morning, afternoon, or evening—and enjoy everything it has to offer. It’s truly one of the cutest, most charming coastal towns we’ve ever visited. This spot was also perfectly situated for exploring nearby Wilmington and Oak Island, which made our trip even better. We had such a wonderful experience and will absolutely be back. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to rebook this place—it was perfect in every way!

    This was our third stay at Tree Escape. It is very well maintained and beautifully decorated. We love being among the trees and the quiet setting. For a “studio apartment” it is spacious and airy. It is always very clean, and the owners generously provide an array of coffee pods, sugar and creamers, as well as bottled water. We stayed for a week, exploring the area. I highly recommend this great little getaway.

    Ginga, Oz and Roxy,Thank you for a delightful stay in the Southport Treehouse. We immediately felt right at home. I loved sipping coffee on the deck and playing frisbee with Roxy.There was not one thing lacking - the attention to detail was impressive. From the well-placed notes throughout the home, to the app, to the aesthetics. You won’t need to bring anything except a beach towel. There’s even an umbrella in the closet! I loved that we were able to walk to town (much to the complaint of my husband, lol). It was the perfect, quiet, relaxing stay for which we were hoping.

    First of all, thank you Ginga! Your place was elegantly designed and a super comfortable base for our weekend. Every last detail considered, from labels on the light switches to a thorough welcome book with a digital version. We couldn’t afford lodging on Bald Head island and “settled” for Southport. Turns out, it was the right choice! We enjoyed our stay and will be recommending to friends. All in all a “fair dinkum” stay!

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

    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.

    No detail was left undone. If there was a question, it was either in the welcome app or a QR code for the answer. The only problem is that there is so much to do in the area, we really didnt get to enjoy the space as much as we could have. But after a long day of sight seeing and activities, it was the perfect place to come back to and decompress. We had a great conversations with the host when we arrived, even played a little game of fetch with their pup. A wonderful trip and wonderful hosts.

    From the moment we walked it we knew it was going to be wonderful. It was so clean we could have been the first guests. The owners have it decorated so nice. It is behind the owner’s home and above their garage, however privacy was never an issue. It was quiet and peaceful. The added touches…games, toiletries, blanket, coffee…were great. We highly recommend.

Location is great and walking distance to many bars and restaurants. The owners are amazing and very easy to contact if you need them. Their dog Roxy is very sweet and we love playing frisbee with her outside! Inside the room is always clean and neatly organized. We could say sooooo many more good things. We highly recommend staying here for your next couples getaway!
