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 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 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 delightful 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 conveniently 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, appreciate 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 huge 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!

In the bunk/additional room you will find an striking ocean view from the glass doors and windows stretching up to the vaulted ceiling and opening to a enormous deck.

Cozy leather seating and an entertainment center with games, toys, books and videos are useful when you need downtime indoors.

Tips to get the perfect Southport vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Book your rental in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Southport area visitor guides which include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. 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 vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available online. If they are not listed, email or call the host before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.
• If there's an individual Southport destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many issues.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to compel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
