House was perfect!

We have a 5 year old and 1.5 year old and we had such a good time. The house was great; very well stocked with everything we needed. The porches are endless and we loved it. I wish the house had a battery blower to clean off the porches but no deal breaker. We had a blast and would definitely go back!

Great stay for Thanksgiving!

We had a great stay at the Tree House over Thanksgiving break! Location was great on a quiet part of the island and we loved the private entrance to a secluded part of East Beach! Most times we had the beach all to ourselves! Host was very responsive, we discovered the sink leaking upon arrival and she had someone over to repair the next morning. Also the porch spaces are amazing and beautiful views around the property. Will definitely be back!

Great Home in the Forest

This home has it all! It has an amazing view overlooking the marsh. It is only a few steps away to its own private beach. It is very secluded. The bedrooms are spread out, so everyone had their own space. The living area was large enough for our whole family.

30 year celebration

Although the bedrooms and kitchen are a bit small, the decks and property location more than make up for it. The view of the marsh from the front deck is incredibly relaxing. We were married here 30 years ago this October and all of our children and grandchildren joined us. The house worked out great!

Excellent stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Tree House. The owners were very kind and accommodating. The porches are amazing with gorgeous marsh views from every one. The home itself is bright and open with more than enough space for our family of four. The location on Middle Island can't be beat with private access to an uncrowded section of our favorite beachfront on the island. Would stay again!

Magic!

Our stay at Treehouse was as magical as the island. The owners were EXTREMELY responsive! Our cart accidentally got a flat and they had us a new cart in no time at all! The house fit 8 of us 4 adults and 4 teens well and the views were spectacular! Location was great, we visited east beach, mikes bites and conservatory within minutes! We can’t wait to come back again next year!!

Another wonderful visit

This was our third time staying at the Treehouse and it is always wonderful. The decks are great, it is always so peaceful on Middle Island and our kids love the nearby dock. We appreciated the recent upgrades, especially to the loft bed. All of the beds are comfortable, the house is always clean, and we always have everything we need for the week in the kitchen. The host was very responsive when we needed help figuring out how to work the TVs. We’ll definitely be staying at the Treehouse again in the future!

Wedding of Bo & Andrea

Our son was married at the chapel on BHI. The Tree House was perfect for our family and plus one guest assisting with our rehearsal dinner. The porches were perfect for our one year old granddaughter. (She enjoyed hugging the trees that are growing through the decks and porches.) The awesome architecture of the home is breathtaking! Being fans of wildlife and nature, we saw deer - 5 out of 7 days, an opossum, a raccoon, 4 snakes, and some giant spiders. I'm sure we would have seen more, if we hadn't been busy on other parts of the island with multiple wedding festivities. The owners were very quick to respond to questions and concerns. We will definitely book another stay at The Tree House!

Loved our stay

I booked this stay for a beachy/outdoorsy girls trip, but most of our plans were washed out by endless rain and wind. Thankfully, we had this really lovely house in which we could spend our time together. The kitchen had everything we needed, the house is spacious, there are tons of games to choose from (perfect for rainy days!). The golf carts were in good condition, and there were plenty of beach towels and chairs for a group. Myrita was great to communicate with, very quick to respond to our questions and so accommodating to our requests. We would definitely stay here again, hopefully with better weather next time so we can enjoy all the decks around the house and the beautiful private beach! :)

Island Treehouse

We had a lovely time at the Treehouse in Middle Island. The house is magical, situated above the trees with stunning marsh views. East and South Beaches are each minutes away and we enjoyed both. The outdoor decks were perfect places to hang out for drinks, dining and card playing. Truly lovely. The kitchen, though small, is absolutely fine for preparing dinner. We had read a review saying it was too small, but we did not find that to be true…and we cooked a lot! Everything in the kitchen is organized and labeled, which was extremely helpful. The rooms were nice and the showers were great. Any concerns we had were immediately addressed by the hosts. We recommend The Treehouse for your Bald Head Island stay!

In the trees!

Our family’s stay at this home met all of our needs! Being early spring, much of the outdoor amenities were in need of wiping down a bit of dust and cobwebs but it gave us a bit of time to appreciate the gorgeous expansive deck surrounding this home secluded in the trees! If you like bird watching, stargazing, relaxing with a good book or sipping a glass of wine while enjoying spectacular marsh views this home is your place. As others have mentioned, the kitchen is small but provides all of gadgets, cookware one needs for a family gathering . (It is just a bit tight). We looked forward to using the grills in order to allow for more cooking space in the kitchen. Unfortunately, the grills were not in working condition this weekend. The golf carts were in great condition. It would have been helpful to have had the ability to apply weather shields to the carts. As It was a very cold, rainy and windy Easter weekend and these would kept us warm and dry. But… We had a perfect beach day at the beginning of our stay! The home provides a key for a private boardwalk entrance to the beach a few steps away!! This was an absolute treat to have the benefit and beauty of trees, marsh and beach all in one spot!!! (Just remember to have the key on you in order to exit the boardwalk as the key is needed to unlock the door!!! Spend your time outside enjoying this beautiful property and give yourself a great reason to not cook!

Great location. House kinda funky.

House was good news/ not so good news. Good news: Owners seem very nice and responsive. The decks are huge and amazing. Sports and beach equipments is good. Private beach entrance very nice. Location is secluded and very nice. Wealthy, nice neighborhood. Not so good: The kitchen is tiny and poor. New York apartment/college student kitchen. Cramped and not worth the money being charged. To the owner: RENOVATE THE KITCHEN. Maybe bump out the back wall to enlarge the kitchen? YOU CHARGE THAT MONEY AND PROVIDE THAT KITCHEN? also... its clear the decks are so large they take away from the size of the house. The master is nice, but the two other upstairs bedrooms are tiny and, well, poor. No individual bathrooms. House way too small for the money. Poorly designed, with multiple stairways taking up too much space. As I said, spectacular decks, but the decks are TOO big. Overall: Depends what you like. You like a big, fancy house? This house is not for you. Like a very nice and secluded location? Then house is OK.

The Tree House

We just enjoyed our second visit to The Tree House. It.was.amazing. The house is located on the quiet middle island and is nestled among the trees so beautifully. We enjoyed the many decks and hammock almost as much as the inside space, which is incredibly well appointed. Everything you need is provided. We loved the private access to east beach, which is our favorite beach on the island. It's a short five minute walk, but there's also parking if you need to bring things along on your golf cart. These Michiganders jumped waves til our hearts' content and when we'd had our full of the salt water, we enjoyed spending time at the club pool. *One important thing to remember is that guest memberships sell fast. We recommend you contact the club when you make your booking. Otherwise, they may sell out.* Myrita was quickly available when we had questions and offered wonderful suggestions for places to eat and things to do. We highly recommend staying at the Tree House. You won't be disappointed!!

Wonderful Stay

The tree house made for a great family vacation. The house was in excellent condition. Cleaning crew was great. Furniture & appliances were in good condition. The icemaker in the fridge was a workhouse - it seemed to be full of ice constantly. We loved all the windows and the open feeling. The decks were great. We spent most of the days on the beach. Outside was a little to buggy for us at night. The location of the house was probably the best part. We are big beach people. The house provides access to the middle island private beach. Not that bald island beaches are crowded (they are not compared to other NC and SC beaches). The middle island beach had very few people. There are only 3 or 4 houses with beach access north of the private beach access. Beyond these houses, was empty beach. This made for some great walks. Beach condition was excellent. Waves were perfect for playing in the water. Golf carts were in great shape. No matter where you stay on the island you are close to all the attractions. My family really enjoyed our stay at the tree house. Owners were fantastic. We had a few questions before and during the trip. They were very responsive.

Great family getaway in Baldhead, among the trees

We had a wonderful trip. Myrita was so helpful with getting us oriented, and everything in the house was clean, comfortable, and easy to use. We loved zipping around in the golf carts and on the bikes. East Beach is so lovely, and just a short walk from the house. We got memberships at BHI and did a birding tour with the conservancy, and the kids had surfing lessons. We love BH and would definitely stay at the Treehouse again!

Fantastic Quiet Getaway

Awesome location if you’re looking for somewhere quiet and away from neighbors! The deck space and design is like nothing you’ve seen. The property is fantastic with gorgeous views and sounds of the ocean. Our dog and kiddos loved exploring the grounds. It’s a quick walk to a private beach access and a 5-10 minute golf cart ride to coffee shops, restaurants and the market. We had 4 adults, 2 kids and a dog and found the space to be very comfortable. The second master bedroom on the ground floor could use a new mattress and is a bit on the small side. Would be ideal for a teen room versus a second pair of adults. The main master is spectacular however! My kids loved the open loft bed room with their own access to the hammock and deck space. Keep in mind that with beautiful trees comes leaves and a few little critters so be prepared to sweep or use the blower provided to keep the deck area free of debris, especially if you plan on lounging daily and entertaining out there. It’s well worth it though. The kitchen is small, but totally manageable and comes stocked with everything you could possibly want. The house also comes with plenty of beach towels, chairs, beach gear, bikes and a kayak. We would definitely recommend The Tree House. We loved our stay!
