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).

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, 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!

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.

We look forward to sharing Bald Head Island and our 3 Monkeys with you. We have put tons of effort into making this a striking and comfortable second home. We hope you make yourself at home and treat it as you would your own!

Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.

• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
