Photos and Description of the Surf City vacation cottage rental
2 bedrooms, 1 bath

Tree Spirit, an “old island” style beach cottage on Topsail Island, has been treated energetically with Reiki, crystals and ineffable resources.

No tv, no phone, no clock. Come to 'be there.'

Tree Spirit Retreat is all about sharing healing energy. We welcome all who wish to bask in healing energy and nature.

Barrier islands shift, creating an auspicious environment for inner change. Topsail Island’s abundant natural attributes feature pelicans, dolphins, and constantly moving sandbars. Friends have enjoyed it and have been refreshed by their time there. We welcome new friends.

Energetic work is renewed, replenished, and sustained for each visit.

~Pet guests welcomed on a case by case basis~

Perfect

Review Submitted: January 18, 2012 Date of Stay: August 2011
Tree Spirit Retreat was the perfect place for my husband and I (and our 2 dogs) to get away at the end of summer. The Cottage could not have felt more inviting and comfortable, the energy really was palpable. Christine provided anything we could have needed, and neighbors were also welcoming and friendly. The dogs loved their lazy days, as did we. We hope to return again!

peace and serenity

Review Submitted: January 13, 2012 Date of Stay: January 2012
We really enjoyed the beautiful cottage. IT was a perfect getaway. Everything that we needed was there, and it was peaceful and quiet between the two waters. THere will definately be a next time, and we will recommend to anyone. It was a home away from home. THe owner of the cottage was very friendly and was also able to accomidate our puppies!!!! It was awesome having the whole family there. The beach this time of the year was perfect, because we saw a lot of dolphins, and found many unique sand dollars and sharks teeth, and the beach was empty! THanks again Chris for your home.

Soulful Retreat

Review Submitted: December 29, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2011
In looking for the ideal spot for my private 40th birthday getaway from my hectic, chaotic life as a mother & legal professional, I browsed countless listings. I wanted a place that was safe, private, affordable, & something a little off-beat, something with personality... a place to relax, reflect, meditate, recharge, be alone with self, and reconnect with life... I knew I had found the perfect place when I happened upon Tree Spirit.

Eclectic, warm, & cozy was the feeling I got from the moment I walked in the door. I'm not well versed in the art of Reiki, but I can attest that Tree Spirit was filled with a wonderful energy & the charming memories so many must have made there. Situated a convenient walk between surf & sound, my days were spent combing the beach for shells & perches on the dock writing; the nights were quiet & peaceful with the vibrations of the lapping waves lulling me to sleep after hours spent in the comfy "Tea Room.

The owner, Chris, was prompt, personable, & thorough in her responses to my queries. Though my 4 nights passed so quickly that I didn't get the opportunity to meet her in person, she struck me as a kind & dear soul from our conversations, so it's on my list for the next trip!

Thank you Christine for affording me the opportunity to share Tree Spirit. This escape was perfect & the best thing I've ever done for myself. Forty feels pretty good! =)

Perfect for the price

Review Submitted: December 4, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2011
Great price, near beach (across the street) and pet friendly. This beach house is exactly as advertised, very rustic. If you're looking for a relaxing abode without all the bells and whistles of a modern beach condo, this is the pad for you. Thank you for taking pets!!!
