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 comfortably to the Market for groceries or a fast bite at their café then browse the Maritime stores. Continue across the island to discover the impressive 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 outfitted 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 charmingly decorated with plenty of comfortable seating. Savor 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 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 marvelous 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 huge 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.

Our top Southport rental home tips:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, shift your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Southport area visitors guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, selecting, and booking yourvacation home:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed 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 Southport rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is right for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
