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 supplied 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 conveniently to the Market for groceries or a fast bite at their café then browse the Maritime stores. Continue across the island to discover the handsome maritime forest trails along Federal Road. We are an painless 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 enchanting 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 elegantly 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 effortlessly 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 extravagant bathroom with standalone soaking tub and enormous dual head rain shower. The beachfront screened porch is accessible from this bedroom (and from the living area) -- a fantastic place to have your morning coffee! Upstairs you will find a second king room with ensuite bath, toddler bed, private deck and amazing ocean view. Opposite is the queen room also with a pretty oceanfront deck and desk. In the bunk/additional room you will find an spectacular ocean view from the glass doors and windows stretching up to the vaulted ceiling and opening to a sizable 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.

Tips to get the optimal rental home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Cape Fear area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months 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.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Cape Fear area visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking the bestvacation home:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum 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.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your family.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the property manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
