About this property

⭐Intimate and Updated Treehouse with Breathtaking Marsh Views⭐

Relax, decompress, and unwind up in the trees at the edge of the Atlantic. Panoramic floor to ceiling windows wrap around the entirety of this unique treehouse. Wake up to the sunrise on one of three decks over-looking the marsh or simply sit and sip your coffee enjoying the spectacular view from the comfort of the couch. Smell the salty air waft up just feet from the back door. Watch the diversity of wildlife fly, sing, and prance right outside your window. The amazing pod deck can be enjoyed both day and night; surrounded by colorful flowers, string lighting, and comfortable adirondak chairs. Stand over the Marsh and step into the stars on the towering deck off the back the kitchen. Nap in the cool ocean breeze off the lower deck in a soft rope hammock. Two Bedrooms and two fully remodeled baths accompany an updated modern kitchen. TV's with streaming services in each room complete this perfect treehouse hideaway.

The Fripp Island crabbing dock is just a few steps down the road; it's the perfect place to enjoy an evening cocktail. The beach is a just few minutes away in the golf cart (included with your stay). The island has over 30 beach access points; we encourage you to explore as many as you can.

This truly is a special place to enjoy seclusion and induce total relaxation. Whether it's for a family weeklong beach trip, a weekend couples retreat, or just a place to hideout for a few nights. Join the wildlife and tranquility at the edge of Fripp Island and let our home be your sanctuary.

A golf cart is provided at no additional charge to use with your stay. We do require you sign a golf cart agreement prior to using the cart.

Amenity cards are required to dine in the club restaurants, access the pools, and play golf on the island. We DO NOT offer amenity cards to our guests and there is not a way to purchase amenity cards. There are many wonderful restaurants off the island and in Beaufort we will happily recommend.

Fripp Island is a protected wildlife sanctuary. This means the island is home to many creatures such as alligators, birds, racoons, deer, and insects. We do our diligence to provide an experience that keeps our natural friends protected and our guests safe. Please keep your distance from wildlife and remember if you do encounter any of the above; we are all vacationing in their home on Fripp.

This is our home and we take pride it keeping it maintained. We would absolutely love for you to enjoy our little treehouse as much as we do. Our best efforts are put forth to ensure "Buried Treesure" is exactly what you need to create your perfect vacation.

Marsh paradise

From the time we walked in until we left was so wonderful and relaxing and just as advertised. The views so mesmerizing and accommodations were fun and sometimes you would think you were in the jungle with all the foliage out the bedroom windows. The only thing that wasn’t so good is that I had to leave. I only hope we can return to this wonderful place.

Fripp Tripp

Everything was just as described and communication was excellent. Being out toward the end of the strip of land was very peaceful and abundant with wildlife. We also really enjoyed being able to get out by foot, bike, and cart to enjoy the beauty of the island and the beach. This is a spot we will put on our list to return to.

Lovely Views in the treehouse!

This is in a remote area on Fripp. It’s such a lovely location with gorgeous Marsh views. Don’t hesitate to book this property. We throughly enjoyed everything. We had a small issue with the golf cart but response time was instantaneous! I hope to stay again there next year!

A little slice of paradise

Spectacular marsh views and wonderful accommodations! It was our 4th year on the island and by far our favorite house so far! Comfortable beds, cozy environment, and everything needed for a fun, relaxing week! John was great to work with throughout the whole process. We cannot wait to come back!

Fantastic rental on a beautiful island!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful, well-equipped "treehouse" and can't wait to go back! The place was simply charming, and having access to bikes and a golf cart was a real plus. Communication with the owner was always prompt, and he really went out of his way to ensure that we would have a great time. One of our best Vrbo experiences ever!

Cozy home overlooking marsh

Our small family of four really enjoyed staying at this property. The golf cart was a must as the beach access is a bit of a drive (or bike ride) away. The marsh was lovely and John took care of every question. We loved it here and would stay again. Thank you!

Fantastic Fripp Trip

We had a great time at Fripp, and we are so glad we stayed at this cozy little treehouse. It included just about all we needed for our summer getaway. All the helpful instructions were at our fingertips, and wildlife is everywhere! The golf cart and beach gear were so helpful and fun! We were comfortable and relaxed the whole time. Thank you!

Don't miss this Marsh front Oasis!

John's place is so special. While we are very familiar with Beaufort and the surrounding area, this was our first trip to Fripp Island and we could not have chosen a better spot. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful, and the beautiful beach is only a short golf cart ride away. The house felt very my like home, and we had everything we needed to enjoy our time away. John is very responsive to any messages or questions you may have. We highly recommend staying here!

Bring your binoculars!

We really enjoyed our stay. We saw many species of birds and also deer while we relaxed in the evenings and mornings from both of the nice porches. Even though there are close-by houses you feel like there is privacy. The area is quiet and away from the busier part of Fripp which is a plus. The beds are comfortable. John was friendly and responsive and the instructions for the house are clear and easy to follow. We had fun exploring the island on the golf cart. We discovered The Kitchen which is a great place to get togo salads and things to cook for dinner so check that place out if you like to be home but not cook!

Marsh treehouse paradise

Wonderful "treehouse " with large windows all around the outside which submersed us in beautiful nature. The marsh views from sunrise to sunset, high tide to low tide were wonderful to experience. Two nice decks and hammock to enjoy it all . It is located in quite area of the island which was so peaceful. We enjoyed riding bikes and golf cart all over the island. Very comfortable for my husband and I -perfect place to disconnect and relax and play. John was very easy to communicate with and the house was well stocked. We look forward to returning !

Breathtaking view!

This view! This place!!! So clean and stocked to a tee! The decorating and attention to detail make this the perfect little marsh side, tree house bungalow! The golf cart is kept up and newer, nice towels, sheets, extra blankets! Even a water purifier in the fridge so no need for useless bottles of water- just bring one for the trip! Kids enjoyed the bikes and boogie boards ( all new and nice!) Thank you for a wonderful stay! We will be back

Exceeded Every Expectation

We just spent a week at this property and everything was just perfect. From the location on the marsh to the cleanliness of the home to the quick messaging back and forth with John, the owner. We loved watching the colors on the marsh change throughout the day and we logged more than 30 species of birds. We took many walks all over the island and having the golf cart was a bonus. We also went for a bike ride on the bikes provided which were in great shape and a pleasure to ride. We are already planning another trip to this wonderful spot! Thank you John!
