About this property
Treehouse OBX. Cozy cottage in family/pet-friendly neighborhood. Close to sound.
Launch your own kayak or canoe just a block away at Kitty Hawk Bay or just stroll over with your cup of coffee to welcome the new day...and walk the dog. Launch your sail or motor boat at the Colington Harbour Boat Ramp. 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. Live-oak trees shade this cozy two bedroom (double/twin), one bath cottage...with an additional outdoor shower. You MUST try the outdoor shower under the stars...its exhilarating!!! Central AC/H, dishwasher, 2 flatscreen TVs, high-speed internet, phone, under-porch screened in conversation area, all necessary small appliances, gas grill round out the amenities. Great restaurants down the road, convenience store and fish market within biking distance if you choose. Two bikes available. If venturing off Colington Island, you are close to area attractions such as Wright Brothers Memorial, fishing piers, cinemas, shopping centers, & amusements. Public ocean beach access with showers and dressing rooms at end of Colington Rd ( approx. 4 miles). Many other area attractions...lighthouses to climb, Lost Colony Outdoor Drama in historic downtown Manteo, off-shore/inshore fishing. Take a day trip to Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands, and try to spot a wild horse in Corolla. Treehouse OBX is located in a quiet, family-friendly year-round residential neighborhood. You will be removed from the hustle and bustle of seasonal high traffic and mayhem! Owner lived in this home for 13 years and still considers this area of the Outer Banks most unique. Join other visitors and residents at the sound side beach for swimming and/or picnic-ing.

House was great. It was clean, easy access to the sound and had a great porch to sit and relax on. Host had great communication. Neighborhood was quiet and friendly. Our family enjoyed our stay there.
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.
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.

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
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 it’s just a short drive to the beach and shopping. Would definitely stay again
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!

A cozy and quiet space! Nestled in the trees..very private for the number of families around. Quick and accessible to the beaches!
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.
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
This is a lovely property in a very nice gated community. Close to the bay and not far from the Atlantic beach. Clean, comfortable, with all necessities. Screened in lounge/patio area as well as front porch with comfortable seating. Cute and beachy themed. We enjoyed our stay.
We had a wonderful time here. The porch is lovely and the outdoor shower was one of our favorite parts of this property. Nearby are a nice small beach and very nice pool where everyone was extremely welcoming. We had our dog with us and she loved walks/runs around the property, the little park nearby where dogs are permitted, and the porch. Local restaurants like Higher Grounds and Colington Cafe are lovely. The owner was very accommodating and responsive.
We loved this property. It was cozy and sweet with so many little nooks. It was like a cozy cottage. We felt right at home. The front deck was perfect for morning coffee. Beautiful wooded lot with nature all around. The host takes great care and communication was excellent. 10/10 highly recommend!!
Stayed here with my 2 dogs and absolutely loved the amenities, especially the enclosed front deck....the house was clean and neat and provided everything we needed....Betsy was very communicative and prompt through the rental process and even texted to see if we arrived safely and needed anything....the neighborhood was safe and enjoyable to walk my dogs...for a short walk or drive there's a sandy place by the sound where you can enjoy the water and watch the boats along the harbor....I would definitely stay here again!
We only stayed two nights but this was a nice property on the sound side of OBX. It is nice to have a place to stay other than a crowded hotel or an expensive rental house. It was priced well and off the beaten path. We did not use the pool so I cannot comment on that. After enjoying the days with our adult children in town it was calm and quiet in the evening away from the hustle and bustle! Thanks for having us!
We had a great time at the Treehouse. Betsy was an amazing host. She responded to our questions right away and was very friendly. The house is spacious and clean. Our kids enjoyed riding the bikes around the neighborhood and to the pool. The front porch is a great spot to relax after a long day at the beach. It’s also nice to enjoy a morning coffee while listening to the birds and watching the squirrels.
