“Tree Escape is handsome! 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 really 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 cavernous, completely refreshed 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 close by markets dotting the Intracoastal Waterway.

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

Spend sunny mornings calming 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 relaxing." – Carolyn, ‘21

Sunset is the ideal time to relax on the deck, uncork a bottle of local wine, light the fire table and snuggle in for a cozy evening!

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Southport vacation rental experience:

When to visit Southport & When to book:

• Summer months are high season in the Cape Fear area area. To get the best value, shift your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
