You’ll be hosted by year-round Southporters and professional home remodelers who have taken great pride in creating a space that’s comfortable and contemporary. No cramped quarters or outdated furnishings here: enjoy a clean and open feel, modern appointments, and warm accents reminiscent of the seashore setting.
The Space
The fully furnished studio is tucked above a detached garage. You’ll have complete privacy during your stay, though we’re always happy to offer you pointers on our favorite local spots. Surrounded by lush greenery, you’ll truly feel like you’ve escaped to your own secluded treehouse. But all the charms of Southport, from brewpubs to boutiques, are waiting just a few minutes away.
Coastal Bliss
Greet the morning from the comfort of a king-size bed with luxury linens, and get ready for the day in a modern bathroom with shower/tub.
No matter the season or weather, there’s plenty of ways to kickback at Southport Tree Escape. The private deck will be your favorite spot to spend sunny mornings lounging with a cup of coffee or a vacation novel before hitting downtown or the beaches. Rainy days are a perfect excuse to uncork a bottle of local wine, snuggle into the sofa, and find your favorite movie on the flat-screen.
While you’re out exploring Southport, be sure to pick up some fresh seafood at nearby markets dotting the Intracoastal Waterway. The eat-in kitchen is completely equipped with all the cookware, appliances, and essentials to satisfy chefs-at-heart.
Throughout the studio, you’ll find modern conveniences including a Nest thermostat, USB charging ports, and a smart lock for easy self check-ins. Feel free to pack light: you’ll have a washer/dryer of your own here, too.
Discover Southport
There are so many reasons people choose to spend their time away in Southport. Some come to tee-off on the green while others prefer to explore underwater with a scuba tour. Some prefer to spend their days wandering downtown and others choose lounging on the beach.
Whatever your idea of a good time is, you’ll be perfectly positioned here. Just a short stroll away, the charming streets of Southport are lined with brewpubs and tasting rooms, boutiques and antique galleries, cafes and fine dining. Walk just over a mile to Waterfront Park to cast a line off the pier or gaze out at the water from a porch swing.
Within a short drive, you’ll find some of coastal Carolina’s most picturesque beaches. Many of our guests like to put aside a day to take the ferry over to Bald Head Island, a 12,000-acre island home to golf courses, nature trails through marsh and maritime forest, and of course, scenic beaches.

Life has its ways of letting you know where you need to be. After a health scare in 2014, I decided I wasn’t going to wait any longer to build the home I’d been dreaming of—one that would be the perfect setting for making memories with friends and family.
I’ve visited towns up and down the Carolina coast, but nothing called to me quite like the picturesque town of Southport, whose small town vibes reminded me of the joy of growing up in the South.
Shortly afterwards, fate worked its magic once again when I met an amazing man visiting Southport from Australia. We were eventually married and left behind our day jobs to begin a home remodeling business. We’ve spent the past several years breathing new life into Southport and Oak Island homes.
When we decided we wanted our own space to share with guests, we rolled up our sleeves once again and transformed the guest area above our detached garage into a contemporary coastal retreat. We’re very pleased with the results—and our guests have been, too. We’re so excited to welcome you to Southport, and we’re here to answer any questions you may have about America’s Happiest Seaside Town.
Gingas place was much more then expected ! It is beautifully designed and felt like a very cool apartment. Every detail in apartment was there. Close to the beach and Wilmington. The checkin was super easy and she made sure I had all the info needed. This was a very appreciated detail. Super nice people too ! I’d recommend this stay anytime. Kind of an ultimate Airbnb experience.

Ginga and her husband were both very friendly and hospitable. The town is beautiful with great food and we really enjoyed this more secluded and private spot. Would definitely visit again!
-Stephanie
A comfortable, quiet, and private little above-garage apartment just a stone's throw from downtown Southport. We appreciated the super functional kitchen, which gave us the freedom to stay in and cook for ourselves, saving bucks and avoiding the crowds. With all the blinds open one truly does have the feeling of being up in a treehouse. We'll hope to come back and stay again someday!
-Brett
Beautiful, clean, well-stocked, convenient, and comfortable place to stay.
-Liz
My husband and I stayed here for 6 nights and it exceeded our expectations. My first impression was how spotless, clean, and tidy everything was. Not to mention how stylish and up to date. Ginga and her husband were quick to respond to any communication. We were only a short little drive from the attractions of Southport, and only 15 min from Oak Island where we spent most of our days soaking up the sun on the beach. 10/10 would recommend this place.
-Karleigh
Exactly what we were looking for. Close to Southport's adorable downtown and just a quick drive to the beach. Ginga was a great host, would definitely recommend.
-Marie
This place definitely was worth every penny! Thank you!
-Caleb
This place is great! So stylish and so clean. It’s so cozy and comfortable as well. Ginga thought of everything from the decor to the layout to the kitchen utensils to the clear labeling of every light switch and blackout shades. The king size bed! 🙌🏽 We loved it and loved the privacy and quiet as well. Highly recommend!!
-Tiffany
Fantastic host! Polite,clean, amazing stylish house! Couldn’t be happier
-Allan
We were so impressed with everything here! It was incredibly clean, gorgeous inside, and pleasantly surprised us with a huge range of cooking equipment and spices! The hosts were very kind and hospitable. Checking in / out was super easy, I really enjoyed having a keypad to unlock the place as well. We brought our bikes and had a great ride around the area as there are bike paths nearby. Location is phenomenal, in a quiet street near the downtown area and only 10/15 minutes to a beach access.
-Keely
The 'Tree House' was absolutely beautiful. The location is private, wonderfully decorated and close to everything. We brought our bikes and were able to get to Main Street in about 5 mins and have some great southern fare. Driving to the beach was just a short drive, about 10 mins. Communication was easy and with the current environment we wanted to see the current guidelines. Ginga quickly provided the guidelines for Southport and the surrounding neighborhoods. Check-in was a breeze with a keypad entry and we were immidiately delighted by the cleanliness, openness, and the amount of light that enters the Tree House. I can't wait to come back! Thank you for your hospitality!
