The community pool and tennis courts are just a short drive w/in the Colington Harbour community or a nice walk if you're up for some exercise. Greet the new day on the covered front porch of Treehouse OBX and watch the neighbors getting their day started or, if an animal lover, the birds and squirrels can sometimes put on a show for you.

Quaint and cozy, feels like youre in the trees, kitchen had all we needed and beds were comfy. Check in and out both a breeze
We loved our time at this OBX treehouse! This property is in a great neighborhood, is well maintained, and pet friendly. We enjoyed the large front porch, community pool, and the closeness to both the sound and OBX beaches. The host was very responsive and provided some great restaurant recommendations. Absolutely would stay here again!
We loved staying here! The home was cozy and just right for my family of 3, and the outdoor shower was wonderful after Long Beach days! Quiet neighborhood and close to everything.
This treehouse stay was amazing no regrets renting this for the week. It was clean, it had everything you need like dishes, towels, some food essentials you need. I would rent this tree house again and I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
Great stay! Very clean and accommodating. Neighborhood feel is great for a small family or a couple, without being too far from the mainstream places of OBX. Highly recommend.
Loved our stay in this home, plenty of space for my family and pets. The pool was great we took advantage of that for sure. Enjoyed riding bikes in the neighborhood and itโs just a short drive to the beach and shopping. Would definitely stay again

A cozy and quiet space! Nestled in the trees..very private for the number of families around. Quick and accessible to the beaches!
Myself and my family enjoyed everything about this property. Everything was listed according to what was there. The owner was very easy to get in touch with if I needed to
The property was clean and well maintained. The bathroom was probably the nicest one we've had in quite a while. There was lots of Wildlife for us to enjoy. The beach was very close but we also enjoyed the sound and did kayaking. This little house was almost The Best of Both Worlds. The host was wonderful and I would definitely recommend this property.
Betsy was an amazing host. Our stay at the treehouse was great, awesome neighborhood, short walk to the sound, and short drives to the beach/any of our favorite restaurants on the island. We will definitely be staying here again! Thank you

I have such fond memories of my little Treehouse and I hope that visitors will enjoy staying there as much as I loved living there. I am retired and enjoy playing tennis, reading, and Bible study. My husband is a Christian Counselor with offices in Rocky Mount and Raleigh, NC. I am an animal lover and have two cats, Simba and Twiga...both African kitties.
