The Treehouse

The Treehouse is a vacation rental in Buxton, listed through Surf or Sound Realty, one of the established booking agencies handling rental homes on this stretch of Hatteras Island. The address puts it on NC-12, the single road that connects every village on the island, within the same village as the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and the beaches, trails, and ORV ramps of Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

Location in Buxton

Buxton sits at the elbow of Hatteras Island, where the shoreline juts furthest into the Atlantic, and is home to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse — the tallest brick lighthouse in the country, moved inland in 1999 to escape the eroding shoreline. The lighthouse is currently closed for climbing while the National Park Service addresses a cast-iron bracket issue found during restoration, with reopening not expected before the end of 2026. Buxton Woods Coastal Reserve, with its network of maritime-forest trails, sits nearby, and NC-12 continues south to Hatteras village, departure point for the free NC ferry to Ocracoke Island.
