Rustic Coastal Treehouse—Cozy, ½ Mile to Beach

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful beach lodge! Is it a treehouse? Beach house? Cabin? Feels like all the above! This gorgeous 1980s build has the feel of a treehouse, tucked back from the hwy, and only 1/2 mile to the beach, giving our guests the best of everything! Bring Fido and the fam to this rustic lodge that sleeps 5-6 guests. Cook up some burgers on the grill, and enjoy rocking the night away on the front porch swing. Enjoy the residential neighborhood- perfect for pups & play! The space Built in the 1980s, this home has been refurbished to reflect a vintage cabin/lodge with all the modern conveniences of the 2020s. The master suite houses a queen bed, blackout curtains, and a smart TV with en-suite bathroom access. The second bedroom contains a twin over queen bunk, perfect for families who need the extra sleeping space. Each bathroom contains a heater for post-shower warmth on a cool day. Look out any of the windows and see trees! Trees surround this property on all sides and the landscaping has been kept as natural as possible to truly feel like you’re tucked back in the woods, yet you’re sooooo close to the beach (as of 2025, some trees have been cut down on the lot next to ours, but plenty remain). The kitchen has been fully renovated and redesigned to open the entire common area up to entertain the whole family, whether you’re streaming movies, whipping up an eclectic meal in the fully stocked kitchen, or playing board games around the original wood & leather kitchen table, there’s something for everyone to enjoy in this beautiful cedar home. Ride in style around our beach streets with a golf cart (recommendations available), and take Fido for a walk through the safe and quiet residential neighborhood. This home is right around the corner from Sugar Life Ice Cream and Candy Shop, just a half mile walk or golf cart ride to the closest public beach access, and just over a mile to Food Lion, the closest grocery store. Please note- While the home is mostly peaceful and secluded, it is situated one block from a main highway through the grand strand, and some traffic noise can be heard at times. Please ask for additional information if this is a concern. Also note that this listing is for the upper portion of the home only. It is a duplex, and there is a high probability that guests will be staying in the lower unit. Each level has its own private entrance. Guest access The entire second floor of the home and right side of the driveway are yours for the duration of your stay. Please note there is a full one bedroom unit below, which may be occupied by other guests, so please mind noise levels during sleeping hours. For more privacy, inquire about booking the entire home- we have a separate listing which includes both units- perfect for families with adult children, couples traveling together, or a great place for the elderly who cannot make it up the steps but still want to be with family. Other things to note We love hosting well-behaved pups! Up to two house-trained dogs or cats (125 lbs combined max) are welcome for a $125 pet fee. Dogs must be leashed in the neighborhood, and owners are responsible for cleaning up after them. To ensure a smooth stay, please include pet type, and/or your dog’s breed, weight, and age in your initial inquiry. Unregistered pets seen on exterior security cameras will result in a $100 fine added to the pet fee. 🚭 No Smoking – Smoking is not permitted on the porch or inside. For guest comfort, smoking must take place at least 25 feet away, with proper disposal of cigarette butts. A $250 fine applies for violations. 👤 Age Requirement – Primary guest must be 25+ to book and may be asked to verify ID. 🔊 Location Notice – This home is near a six-lane highway, and some road noise is audible. If you’re looking for total seclusion, this may not be the best fit. We want your stay to be as enjoyable as possible—if you have any questions, just ask!
