“Varuna, Varuna, under la luna” is a heaven among the waves-boasting every amenities and comfort you could imagine. Appreciate the long open decks, enormous screened porch, handsome butterfly garden and private boardwalk to the beach from this five-bedroom, four-bath sanctuary. Plus, Varuna’s location lets you relish ocean sunsets and savor fast and painless access to ALL BHI has to offer.

Inside this getaway, you’ll discover three levels of comfort and fun. Enter the light-filled first level-it features grandiose open living areas with tiled floors and expansive ocean vistas through walls of glass. Don’t miss the bespoke, inlaid compass right inside the front door. The gathering space provides comfortable furnishings, a flat screen, interesting books and loads of puzzles and games. There’s also a game table cornered by two walls of glass.

The interior dining space also includes two glass walls: one with vistas of the ocean and the other granting peeks at the cardinals who call the sculpted junipers and Island holly their home. No matter which way you look, there is something interesting to see. If dining al fresco is your preference, feast outside on the cavernous screened porch with its vistas of the Atlantic fronted by the dunes' swaying sea oats.

Close by both dining areas is a amazing chef's kitchen with plenty of counter space for meal prep as well as all the equipage you could want for snacking, serving and socializing.

A King Master with ensuite is located on this main level. It offers a private sitting area, direct deck access, inspiring ocean vistas and a sizable bathroom with dual sinks and plenty of counter and storage space.

Half a flight upstairs is another Master suite presenting a Queen bed and dual-sink full bath. Both Masters spotlight bespoke ceilings with lighted cupolas for added ambiance.

Ten steps up from the second Master is Varuna’s top floor and its circular deck that dazzles with spectacular ocean vistas. It's one of the best spots to savor Bald Head’s glorious sunsets. There are also two additional bedrooms on this level with two twin beds each, a full bath and a central gathering area featuring a snug couch and TV as well as more games, puzzles and kids’s books.

Varuna’s crofter offers a very private and cozy Queen suite with a full bath and direct deck access.

Other accoutrements this property provides are a gas grille, outdoor shower, internet access,
and two golf carts. Varuna does not have bicycles or beach chairs. There are bicycle rental companies on the island for your vacation fun. Please let us know if we can assist in securing some bicycles for your stay. Rain or shine, a week or more at Varuna is well-spent time!

Finding the best Cape Fear area vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are high season in Bald Head Island. Booking your Cape Fear area vacation home in Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Cape Fear area area visitor guides which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Make a plan and choose your prefect Cape Fear area vacation home:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Varuna is a paradise among the waves with every amenity and comfort! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

Advice for your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the rental manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
