Bachman Tree House Figure Eight Island

Escape to the unspoiled beaches of Figure Eight Island and enjoy the panoramic views from the Tree House.

You'll be on the highest spot on the island so nothing will obstruct the breath taking 360 degree view of the crystal clear blue ocean, white sandy beaches, intra-coastal waterway or the beautiful sound filled with wildlife. You can enjoy fishing off the private dock which located behind the cottage.

Easy living is what figure 8 is all about.There are only single family homes on Figure 8 and nothing commercial. It is only 3 miles to shopping & restaurants. This way you have the island to yourself, no crowds, no noise except the waves lapping the beach or a bird singing.

Serene beach week
We had a wonderful stay in the Tree House. The house is truly surrounded by lush landscaping that gives way to gorgeous beach and sound views. We highly recommend sunsets on the side porch! The path to the beach is directly across the street and since the house has a cart and chairs, all we brought was our umbrella. We had some unique requests while we we there and in preparation for the trip and Bunnie was superb. Would love to stay again sometime.

Amazing week with loved ones!
We have rented close to 20 properties on Figure8 Island. This is the first time we have stayed on the Sound. The beach is right across the street and the views were breathtaking. Bunnie is responsive, but not intrusive. We love to swim in the ocean and spend time together as a family. This was a perfect home for our 2 year old granddaughter and all the adults who wanted to cook and play games. Thank you Bunnie for a precious time! We will be back.

Great location, beautiful home. Fabulous views. The layout works well for large groups. Bedrooms are separate from noisy group areas. The small den in basement served as our reading room. Bunnie responded quickly to queries. Thanks for giving our family the perfect dream holiday

Beach week
Great location with easy access to beach and best views of both beach and sound. Nice deck, living area and kitchen on top floor but could use additional seating to accommodate a family of 8. Need better lighting in living room for readers - two outlets near the couch sparked when lamps were plugged in so we were afraid to use them. Internet was spotty at beginning of week and then went out completely on Wednesday morning. Owner had it repaired on Thursday midday. Overall bedrooms/bathrooms were fine but tired. Bedroom near front door had bathroom with peeling wallpaper, bad lighting and weak shower head.

Beautiful house and location on gorgeous private Figure 8 Island
I stayed at the Treehouse for a week during the end of July with six people. The island and the location of the house are pretty amazing. We often had the beach completely to ourselves and getting to the beach was just across the street and down the beach access. There were plenty of beach chairs and some boogie boards to use stored in the garage. The views from the 3rd floor which is an open kitchen/living room/dining room common area in the house are in fact 360 degrees and there is a large deck with grill just outside on a large deck. The sunsets over the sound are beautiful and I could also see my family on the beach in the other direction so it is quite nice. We never felt the need to leave the island. The kitchen is very well stocked with way more cooking utensils, glasses, cups, dishes and pots and pans than any normal family would ever need. Dishwasher, ice machine, washing machine, worked fine. Everything was clean including a large sofa and snuggle chair. The house when it was build was no doubt an architectural beauty. It is now seeing its age and woodwork on cabinets and porcelain in bathroom sinks are worn. I think as long as you realize that it isn’t like a brand new hotel but rather a family home that has some history then you will enjoy it. The beds were all quite comfortable and sheets very nice, plenty of basic towels. I think it would be nice to have had a floor plan of the bedrooms/ bathrooms/ closet space on the first and second floors so that you can make decisions ahead of time about which rooms are best for adults or kids etc. Two identical size rooms have two queen beds and big walk in closets and attached baths. One small room has two twin beds with bathroom across the hall shared by the master bedroom with a King bed and attached bathroom. Another small bedroom has two twin beds and very large bathroom and directly outside a smaller TV family room on the first floor. It took us a few days just to figure out where the washing machine was (on the first floor in this family room) and how to turn on all the lights in the living room and outside areas. The host was very helpful and provided much information that was not on the listing. I very much appreciated that the host had a cancellation policy that was very reasonable, the deposit was refundable up to some point and the final payment was not due until two weeks before. Given the complexity of organizing a vacation for six adults, this was one reason I choose this house

Perfect, just perfect!!!
The property us everything that's listed and more. This home has beautiful architectural character. You literally have a birds eye view of the Sound behind you and the beach in front. You are 30+ feet up and over the trees that surround the property . Easy access from the property to the beach with just a very short walk to the Beach Access. When pulling up into the driveway of the property, you can feel the magic of The Tree House. Because of a sudden medical issue, we had to cut our two week vacation short to only one week. Since we had Trip Insurance we are able to get the funds for our lost week back. The owner (Bunnie Bachman) has gone above and beyond to help navigate me through the Insurance Claim process. Its not easy. I cannot thank Bunnie enough. I truly give this property a 10 Star Rating!
