Escape to the unspoiled beaches of Figure Eight Island & enjoy the panoramic views from the Tree House.

You'll be on the highest spot on the island so nothing will obstruct the breath taking 360 degree view of the crystal clear blue ocean, white sandy beaches, intra-coastal waterway or the beautiful sound filled with wildlife. You can enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, claming, crabbing & fishing off the PRIVATE dock which is located behind the cottage. You have your own walk way down to the dock. There is also a sitting area which is a great area to gather. You are directly across the street from a beach path. So you have the best of both worlds. You can get to the beach but only the lucky families that have their own boat dock can get to the sound & enjoy all that it has to offer.

Easy living is what figure 8 Island is all about.There are only single family homes on Figure 8 & nothing commercial. It is only 3 miles to shopping & restaurants. This way you have the island to yourself, no crowds, no noise except the waves lapping the beach or a bird singing. Enjoy biking the island, best way to see the island. The road ways on the island are residential, neighborhood streets. NO highways, no 3-4 lane roads & no traffic lights. You just slow down & enjoy a slower pace of life.

Keywords: Beach House, dock for kayaking, paddle boarding, crabbing,claming & fishing, 5miles of white sandy beach, fabulous sunsets! The sun rise over the ocean is great for morning coffee. You might even see a pod of Dolphin playing in the ocean waves.

    All good. Some insects and some rooms had a musty smell. Seems there was a leak coming from upstairs bathroom.

    What a wonderful property. The house has spectacular views of both the ocean and the marsh. And the dock is a great place to crab and kayak from.

    House is in a beautiful location…”Tree House” is the perfect description! Views of both the ocean and the inter-coastal waterway and associated marshlands are breathtaking!

    The view from this house is hard to beat! We loved the porches and being able to look at the ocean and the sound. The location is perfect and a short walk to the beach. Highly recommend this house!

    We have never stayed at Figure 8. The treehouse was right across the road from a public access to the beach. We had the beach all to our selves. Bunnie was the ultimate host. House was one of the original houses on the island It is a mainstay

    Our week at the beach with my favorite people was spent in this magical location. Figure Eight Island is so serene and peaceful and the Treehouse captured the whole island. The views were remarkable. The beach access path being so close was convenient for our family of surfers and sunbathers who had loads to carry. Bunnie was friendly and accommodating when minor issues arose. We made lasting memories during our stay at The Treehouse.

    We’ve been coming to the Island for over 30 years , but this was the first time staying in the Treehouse, and it was quickly a crowd favorite. Loved the view and layout of the house with easy access to the beach right across the street. Bunnie was a great host, and I would highly recommend staying here.

    Multiple issues with this property: 1) Listing stated it had a hot tub. There was not one. When we asked the host, she said there has never been a hot tub. 2) On Friday the evening of check-in, we noticed multiple roaches in and outside the house. We immediately notified the host. She stated that an exterminator was not available until Monday. After they sprayed on Monday afternoon, the problem was much worse on the inside of the house. While watching TV in the main room at night, we would see multiple roaches on the walls and ceilings, many of which would be dead or partially dead on the floors the next day. Overall, the house seemed like it had not been cleaned in a while. 3) There were torn sheets and stained towels. 4) There was a generalized mildew smell in the bedrooms with mold/mildew stains on the ceilings in multiple bathrooms. Could be related to host not allowing thermostats to be set below 72 degrees. 5) VRBO was fantastic in assessing for health and safety issues and helping resolve our dispute with the host over a partial refund

    Seven college friends stayed at The Tree House last week, our second year of holding our annual reunion there. The house has lots of bedrooms and beds so that we could all have our own space. It's a comfortable place but at The Tree House, it's all about the amazing view. The ocean is there to see, but the star is the marsh. And the sunsets! We ate all of our dinners at the outdoor table on the deck and agreed that there is no better scenery on the island or in the area. A magical place to take a vacation.

    We stayed at the treehouse for a wedding on the island - it was so spacious and comfortable for eight people. Owner was communicative and accommodating, and the property was just as expected. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend!
