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.

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 pretty 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 attractively 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 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 amazing place to have your morning coffee!

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.

Southport vacation rental booking tips:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Bald Head Island. Book your Southport vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies supply Southport area visitor guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Southport area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the best vacation rental in Bald Head Island:

• First, have your family decide on trip dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. 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 rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
