We loved this home particularly the decks. Our family of five felt very at home and at peace here. It’s a great location on middle Island….

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!

The home was as described and overall the inside was clean. We did wish the decks would have been cleaner to enjoy them more. The only complaints we had

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!

This house is amazing! Loved the location, amenities, and decor. The private access to East Beach was awesome allowing for wonderful days in the beach. Brought our pup and he had a great time as well! Thank you for a stunning vacation and we will be back next year!

We loved celebrating 2 special birthdays at the beautiful Treehouse. Bald Head Island in May is a friend tradition and we were very happy to stay at this incredible home. Great location on magical BHI. Myrita provided outstanding customer service and communication. We’ll be back!

The place was perfect for our family. Many wonderful porches! Very well appointed. My daughter and her boyfriend loved having the downstairs to themselves. The beach entry led us to basically an empty beach. The entire experience was great!

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!!

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!

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!

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! :)

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!

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!

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.

This is our second time staying at the Treehouse. The house was updated with so many things, new bikes, couch, and other wonderful things. The new golf cart was great as well. We will be back!!

The house was so warm, welcoming, and spacious. Very friendly and lightning speed communication from ownership. The home is located on the private part of the island which gives you private beach access. 5 stars all around!

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!

A lovely late summer stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners were responsive and attentive to our needs, going through extra mile to help accommodate our newborn! We loved the porches and the outdoor showers. I believe the kitchen is getting a much needed update of some appliances but it was well stocked with everything we needed. Golf carts in great working order and the beds, chairs, and couches all comfy!

Secluded bald head island stay
This property was perfect for a weekend getaway to bald head island with friends! The location is very quiet and feels like you're alone on the island. The beach is a two minute walk and takes you to a very uncrowded long stretch of beach, perfect for walking, swimming, surfing, etc. The house was very well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and spices, as well as golf carts, kayaks, and bikes. The house is big enough for everyone to have their own space and enjoy some peace and quiet amongst the trees. Myrita was very responsive to any questions we had. Definitely will stay here again when we visit next time!

Marsh immersion
The nicest thing about this property is its location. It is nestled in the marsh on middle island which is cool and private. But it is also a short walk to a private East Beach access which is wonderful! The house also has two kayaks very close to the Middle Island put in location. Lovely for bird watching. The only downside of the property is a rather odd layout inside the home. Two of the three bedrooms are so small there is not even room for a bedside table for a reading lamp. The fourth bed is in a totally open loft with no way to block any light nor sound from either the master or the main floor. And the kitchen, although fairly well equipped , is oddly small. Difficult for our five person family.

Great House!
This perfectly located, well organized/stocked, home was a wonderful retreat for our active family of five. There is plenty of space for both adults and kids to have their own areas and we also utilized the many porches, the community dock for kayaking and the convenient beach access.

Magical!
The Treehouse and Middle Island Plantation is an absolutely magical place! We had a major storm which caused a power surge in the house while we were there. The owners were amazing at getting power, etc. restored as soon as they could. Their response and communication was fantastic. We definitely plan to return to this beautiful home next summer!

Perfect Location
My family and I had an amazing yet relaxing stay at Myrita’s place. The house is gorgeous; the location is perfect, and the beach is simply awesome. The outdoor shower off the master bedroom is excellent! And we had everything we needed for our stay, which is so convenient considering that you have to take a short passenger ferry ride to the island from the mainland. I’d recommend this house for anyone with teens/preteens.

Perfect Beach Vacation
We had an amazing trip!! The house is within 2 minutes to the beach walking and 1 minute golf cart ride. The porches are the best part of the house. The hammock really makes it special. Loved the private dock to fish off of that was a 1 minute golf cart ride. We could not get the TV upstairs to work but we are also not use to that cable/satellite tv, just wish there was instructions on how to use. Also wish there were cookie sheets to bake on. Overall we give the house 15/10. We loved it so much and plan to come back in the future. Thanks for everything!!

Magical treehouse with a private beach - Heaven!
This hidden gem exceeded our expectations in every way.
The property is magical. Beautifully appointed and nestled on the less populated Middle Island section of BHI, it has it all. You can hear the ocean from any of the many (5? 7? I lost count...) decks and porches, sip a cocktail and watch the sunset from the dock in the back which overlooks the marsh, or enjoy a beach read in the hammock while hearing the many different bird calls among the trees.
Our kids, 6 and 8, loved the outdoor shower off the master bath, fishing off the nearby dock, hiking trails along the nature preserve, and of course, the amazing private beach about 75 paces - or a 20 second golf cart ride - from the house.
There's a brand new grill, games in the lower unit, bikes, 3 outdoor showers, and beach supplies like chairs, sun ninja, body boards, coolers, and plenty of towels. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare easy or gourmet meals. For downtime, the wifi is strong and the Apple TV has all the options you could want -- and there are about 15 cozy spots to curl up with a book.
Myrita was eager to be sure we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable - always responsive and went out of her way to be helpful.
We're definitely going to make this getaway a family tradition and can't wait to come back!

Lovely stay!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Treehouse, and the property manager was extremely available to us prior to and during our stay. You can’t beat the location and charm of this beautiful home and setting. When we weren’t exploring the island, we were relaxing on the amazing decks of the Treehouse. We look forward to returning!

Great house and location
The house is as pictured with great decks and hidden spots all around. Mosquito's were rough when not windy but there had been recent rain. Dog friendly and gates could be closed to keep dogs or small children on the deck. It was nice to be remote and to have private beach access.

Middle Island Oasis
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Tree House. Ours was a unique situation in that we were there immediately following Hurricane Dorian and we likely pushed the owner's a little to allow us to go as close to our original schedule as possible because of the difficulty of coordinating everyone's vacations if we had had to reschedule. We truly appreciated Fred & Myrlita's willingness to work with us and they went above and beyond expectations to make it all work out and get the house ready for us to arrive. The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. We enjoyed the sunsets over the marsh and loved the extremely short walk to the private beach access. We had the dogs with us and it was so much fun having them enjoy the beach with us. The house doesn't have a traditional layout, but certainly had everything you could hope for and more. The decks are as awesome in person as they are in the photographs. Fred & Myrlita provide beach towels, bath towels, linens, kayaks, boogie boards, bicycles - there is absolutely nothing you need that isn't provided. I would highly recommend the Tree House to anyone and we will definitely return.
(I would recommend walking or a bike ride to enjoy the scenery in early morning or at dusk - but be warned to bring bug spray. We never had an issue on the decks at the house, just on our walks.)

perfect layout for family
Great property for teenagers. They have their own hang out space in the basement with a big screen TV, and 2 golf carts makes it easy for everyone to do what they want. The house was clean and better stocked than other rentals we've stayed in on the island. I'm normally not a huge fan of being among so many trees but I know owner is not allowed to remove them and it is only a short walk to the beach so made it OK. Owners responsive to communications, but I really didn't have any major issues I needed to reach out about.
