Welcome to 3 Monkeys at Bald Head Island! This modernized oceanfront second row home (there are no homes on our front row!) enjoys vistas of Bald Head's striking South Beach dunes and ocean from its cavernous, open living areas and each of its four bedrooms. 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 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 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 impressive 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 gorgeously 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, 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 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 exceptional 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 splendid oceanfront deck and desk. In the bunk/additional room you will find an marvelous 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.

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 perfect Cape Fear area rental experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. South Beach, Oceanfront, Beautiful Views, Great location! Both Clubs Available has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property owner before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
