“Varuna, Varuna, under la luna” is a heaven among the waves-boasting every amenities and comfort you could imagine.

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.
