“Varuna, Varuna, under la luna” is a heaven among the waves-boasting every amenities and comfort you could imagine. Savor the long open decks, enormous screened porch, charming 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 huge 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 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 comfortable Queen suite with a full bath and direct deck access.

Tricks and tips for getting the best vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summertime is high season in the Carolina Beach area. Book your Carolina Beach rental home in the Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Carolina Beach vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Carolina Beach visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides have deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking yourrental:

• Choose your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Varuna is a paradise among the waves with every amenity and comfort! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what is right for your group.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals 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?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
