“Varuna, Varuna, under la luna” is a heaven among the waves-boasting every luxury and comfort you could imagine. Appreciate the long open decks, sizable screened porch, impressive 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 roomy screened porch with its vistas of the Atlantic fronted by the dunes' swaying sea oats.

Close by both dining areas is a exceptional 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 enormous 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!

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in the Southport area. Booking in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect rental home in the Southport area:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Varuna is a paradise among the waves with every amenity and comfort! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you reserve your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Additional considerations:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great reviews to drive new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
