Great spot - secluded yet close to everything. Loved having the grill to use for one of our dinners. We loved meeting the deer and walking to get ice cream.

So glad you enjoyed the treehouse and proxemity to Harbour Town! Please join us again soon! Meredith
We had a great time! The house is very unique and provides a fun experience with how private it is and all the deer around the island. The house was comfortable for the two of us, and the check in process was extremely simple as well as check out. Would stay here again!
We could walk to Harbour Town, walk to breakfast and lots of other places to eat. This house was tucked back in a quiet, peaceful, wooded area. Will stay here again!!!

Loved being on Deer Island and seeing/feeding the deer every day! Lots of great restaurants and things to do in Sea Pines resort. Bathrooms could use updates but functional!
Very unique home, cozy and clean.Quiet area within a short walking distance to Harbortown.Seeing the deer everyday was so awesome.I’d definitely stay here again.
Beautiful location, peaceful setting, walkable to harbor town, biked easily to beach. The property was well supplied and clean upon arrival. The host was also easy to contact and responsive to our questions or concerns. Overall a great stay.

Great Cottage!
We loved this little Tree House Cottage! The decor was precious and it was so close to Harbour Town with restaurants and shopping! The beds were very comfy too! Perfect getaway for us!!!
The property was very clean and loved the location. We made friends with this one deer that came everyday. It had everything we needed and would definitely stay here again!! The property manager was great to deal with.
The treehouse could do with a little updating, but it was great!

All furniture and flooring has been updated this fall and the bathrooms are the original charm with the chinese soaking tub. Not sure what else you felt was dated. Meredith
We were in complete awe of this Treehouse. We enjoyed our stay. I will mention to pay attention to checkout instructions. I would suggest not making your last day a beach day. Host very responsive
Staying at this property was an actual dream. We were really torn on whether we should stay at a condo near Coligny beach, but I’m so glad we didn’t. Deer Island is stunning, the views are gorgeous, the house is incredibly clean and comfortable. The beds were great, strong air conditioning, and the Chinese soaking tub was awesome!! The host was very kind and flexible, and we are so excited to come back next year. If you’re stuck on location, don’t be, Coligny beach is a quick drive or scenic bike ride away. And the deer were so cute!!
This property was a wonderful location. The beach is lovely and quiet, the children also enjoyed the playground and a visit to stables. The house itself needs updating (bathrooms and kitchen) as many have said. However, it was clean and comfortable. One exception being the outdoor furniture, which is rusted and snapped - a hazard - beware if you sit outside and it hasn’t been replaced. A definite highlight was feeding the deer right outside the house steps!
This location is perfect for any getaway you need. It looks looks like a tree house and feels like one when you are inside. We were greeted by 5-7 deer and they were constantly around when we were coming or going. The neighborhood was very quiet. I never heard any loud music or parties. There are lots of beaches, restaurants, tours, and other things to do nearby so you wont have to look far for a day trip. The prices at nearby stores were more than reasonable. We ended up biking most of the island during our stay and the island is set up with bicycle paths which make it much safer. We look forward to staying here again.
We absolutely loved this house!! So simple and sweet. Had many kitchen essentials & plenty of linens. The bikes were a huge hit in our party! We loved riding around the island. They provide spike ball and other sports equipment which we would have loved to use if it wasn’t raining :( Overall such a great experience with the property manager and this adorable treehouse. Highly recommend!!
This is the third time we have stayed in one of Meredith Allain’s rentals on Deer Island and it did not disappoint.
Check in was a breeze and the unit was clean and well stocked. Bicycles were included and that allowed us to take right off for our favorite haunts in Sea Pines as soon as we unpacked!
The location was semi private and quiet and an easy walk into Harbor Town with it’s hustle and bustle. The best of both worlds.
Meredith is very responsive. Any questions are quickly answered, any problems - we did have a small raccoon issue at one unit- resolved promptly. We hope to rent from Meredith for many years to come.
