“Varuna, Varuna, under la luna” is a heaven among the waves-boasting every luxury and comfort you could imagine. Appreciate the long open decks, huge 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 simple 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 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 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 to get the very best Brunswick area rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Brunswick area area. Reserve your Brunswick area vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Brunswick area vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Determine 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 usually accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great ratings to compel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
