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 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!

Book It!

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.

A studio in the tree tops

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!

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
