“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 roomy, 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 comfortable evening!

Booking the best Southport rental home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your Wilmington, NC vacation home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Wilmington, NC area visitor guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking the rightrental home:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Southport Tree Escape * King Studio Near Downtown has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Wilmington, NC rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. text the host immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
