Description

Can't decide between old school coastal charm and modern comfort? Get it all with this wonderfully eclectic home that combines the very best in setting, character and convenience. With one bedroom with private bath on the third floor, and a second sleeping area on the second floor and additional full bath on the first floor, this unique cottage is ideal for small families or a couples retreat. Treehouse Charlie embraces outdoor living with a wrap-around deck and screened porch with gas fire pit. Nature lovers will not only appreciate the mature trees and natural surroundings, but also that Treehouse Charlie was built with environmental responsibility in mind. Sustainable design features include a private reverse osmosis water system, on demand hot water heater, and a metal roof that's as charming as it is efficient.

Inside, you'll find thoughtful details throughout: natural slate and bamboo flooring, stained glass, custom built-ins, the list goes on! The open-concept, loft-inspired layout and high ceilings allow for an abundance of natural light. When you're not dining out at your favorite local restaurant on the island, prepare meals at home in the well-equipped kitchen with a gas range and farmhouse sink. Two living areas, one on the first floor and another on the second, provide plenty of room for spreading out. The second floor is furnished with a comfortable sectional (also 2 XL twins) in the den area, and french doors connect the space to a guest room with a Double Bed. Note, there is no separate mini-split system in this sleeping area, so the doors will likely need to stay open. Upstairs you'll find the primary suite with king bed, private bath with jetted tub, and access to a wrap-around observation deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee.

When you're ready to venture out, you won't have to go far to find a variety of shopping, dining and famous Ocracoke attractions. Treehouse Charlie is located on a quiet street off Lighthouse Road, but less than a five-minute walk from Silver Lake Harbor and all the locally owned businesses that make this island community a one-of-a-kind destination.

This house is not on city water, but has a private reverse osmosis water system,

Pets are not allowed. No smoking/vaping.

Thank you, the Tree House is lovely :)

Great house! Perfect location that’s easy to walk or bike to everything in the village. Loved the layout with sitting/TV areas in different floors and outside. The porches/deck are amazing. Super well stocked kitchen. This was a perfect layout for my husband and me. If you’re traveling with another couple or adults, you’d want to be very comfortable with them. The master is the only thing on the top floor, but there’s no door. The other bedroom is right off the TV room with glass doors.

The house is very conveniently located and comfortable. It was perfect for our family of 4. We loved having an outside shower to rinse off sandy feet and kids when returning from the beach. The outside screened porches were a great place to relax. The only improvement I would suggest is to get a toaster (we borrowed one from OÍR) and either get some new kitchen knives or sharpen the existing ones (the sharpener that is there doesn’t work). But other than that, the house is well equipped. We will definitely rent Treehouse Charlie again on a future trip!

Treehouse Charlie is adorable, eclectic and quirky! The porch was our favorite spot, especially in the afternoons after a day at the beach. So relaxing! We had a significant problem with sulfur smells from the water. The realty jumped on it and changed filters. Luckily, the smells disappeared and the problem was resolved. The top floor bedroom was so pleasant, it did feel like you were up in a treehouse! The lack of shades made it very bright as soon as the sun comes up, though. We really enjoyed this house, and hope to come back!

The house is super lovely and well appointed as well as super clean. The large porch was a great spot to ride out the rain from the hurricane. Unfortunately the outdoor shower door broke so we didn’t get to enjoy it, but otherwise a really lovely house!

Treehouse Charlie made us feel at right at home. It is an absolute charmer and at the top of the board for all the houses we have rented over the years. The location is perfect for walking, tram riding, and biking to all your favorite spots. Even when it rained all day we enjoyed hanging out on the porch and reading. And the top deck is amazing. We even heard the ocean up there when the winds were fresh. We thank our hosts for allowing us to be guests in your fun home.
