Welcome to 3 Monkeys at Bald Head Island!

Our central location on one of the best swimming beaches of the island means you are not far from anything. We have memberships to both the Bald Head Island Club (full golf membership) and the Shoals Club, which are options for our guests for a temporary membership fee paid to each club. We keep our home well outfitted so you can pack lightly (beach towels, paper products, soaps, detergents, kitchen wraps and travel sized soap/shampoo/conditioner are all there for you).

Walk, ride a bicycle or take a short golf cart ride to the Bald Head Island Club where golf, tennis, pool, workout facility, playground and eateries await you with an optional temporary full golf membership. Bicycle or cart effortlessly to the Market for groceries or a fast bite at their café then browse the Maritime stores. Continue across the island to discover the beautiful maritime forest trails along Federal Road. We are an simple golf cart or bicycle ride back to the marina for dinner or ice cream or to climb Old Baldy. Cart or bicycle over to East Beach to take in the tall dunes, natural seagrasses and Frying Pan Shoals. We have a new 4 seater golf cart and a new 6 seater golf cart for your use.

The L shaped open kitchen to dining to living area floorplan is washed with natural light from a beachfront wall of glass doors and windows. The well supplied kitchen has granite countertops, tiled backsplash and stainless steel appliances, not to mention an abundance of serving pieces and prepare’s tools. Our farm table seats 8 with space for another 4 at the bar. A alluring porch with dining for another 4 circles two sides of the home and extends to a front deck equipped with constructed in gas grille. The living area is charmingly decorated with plenty of comfortable seating. Appreciate napping in the hammock or rocking on the porch while the kids ride bicycles around our cul de sac. We have a few various sized bicycles for your use in exploring the island and additional bicycles are comfortably rented on the island.

Each bedroom opens to a porch or private deck from which you may listen to the waves of South Beach lap onto shore, savor a calming chair and your favorite book, or just watch the sunset -- one of the only places on the East Coast where you can actually watch the sunset over the ocean most of the year! If for some reason the wonders of exploring the island are not enough entertainment, there are flat screen tvs in the living area and each bedroom. The downstairs king master suite includes a opulent bathroom with standalone soaking tub and sizable dual head rain shower. The beachfront screened porch is accessible from this bedroom (and from the living area) -- a amazing place to have your morning coffee!

In the bunk/additional room you will find an extraordinary ocean view from the glass doors and windows stretching up to the vaulted ceiling and opening to a enormous deck. Double sets of bunk beds, a pullout couch(double) and pullout chair (single) provide sleeping for up to 7 in this room with pocket doors to close it off from the hallway as a bedroom. Cozy leather seating and an entertainment center with games, toys, books and videos are useful when you need downtime indoors.

For us, time spent at 3 Monkeys at Bald Head Island is all about quality time with family and friends: time spent relaxing, exploring, exercising, swimming, playing, cooking, reading and talking...together.

We look forward to sharing Bald Head Island and our 3 Monkeys with you. We have put tons of effort into making this a handsome and comfortable second home. We hope you make yourself at home and treat it as you would your own!

Tips to get the best Cape Fear area rental home experience:

When to reserve a Cape Fear area rental & When to go:

• June, July, and August are high season in Bald Head Island. To book the best vacation home for your budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Cape Fear area restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in Bald Head Island:

• Start by having your family commit to a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. South Beach, Oceanfront, Beautiful Views, Great location! Both Clubs Available has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Cape Fear area vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's a specific Cape Fear area attraction you long to visit, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
