Butterfly Dunes - Unique BF Home with 180 degree BF Views!

Butterfly Dunes is a gorgeous home and the ideal retreat for the traveler looking to unwind in a less occupied stretch of beach. This unique beachfront home has breathtaking views from every room, each with direct balcony access!

You are welcomed by the sound of the waves as soon as you walk onto the property, a truly heart-warming experience. The stairs leading to the main deck give you a full view of the beach. The wrap around deck gives you ample space to sunbathe or watch the waves roll onto shore. The deck has seating for 17 including a covered area with couch, an amazing bar, and a large outdoor dining table that seats 8. One of the unique things about this home is how forward it is to the beach relative to its adjacent neighbors. This allows for true 180-degree, uninterrupted views of ocean, beach and dunes making this property’s location a rare and envious one among Galveston beachfront homes.

From the moment you walk in, the large windows bring in natural light and make this home feel bright and cheerful. The open floor plan offers an airy feel to the clean, beachy décor of the home. The living room and dining areas provide ample seating for everyone. opposite the living room is a bedroom with a king bed and its own private exit to the main deck. There is a full bathroom beside it. The second level has a master king room with an added daybed and trundle. The Tempur-Pedic king is one small example of the high-end finishes provided for your comfort. The master has a private balcony and beautiful views of the water through the large windows. It has a master bath with double sinks, a jetted tub and a large walk-in closet. Down the hall, there is a room with a queen bed and a shared balcony with the fourth bedroom. The fourth bedroom is a paradise for kids and teens. There is a pyramid bunk (twin on top of full) and a bunk bed (twin on top of twin). The second level also has a laundry room with full sized washer and dryer and a large full bath.

Ground Level: Picnic Table; Outdoor Shower Main Level: Hot and Cold. Open concept living room, dining, and kitchen; TV and DVD in the living room. Master Bedroom has a King bed and deck access. Upstairs: Master Bedroom 2 has a King bed, daybed with trundle, and master bath with a jetted tub. Private deck access. Bedroom 3 has a queen bed, shared balcony with 4th bedroom. Bedroom 4 features a Pyramid Bunk (1 Twin, 1 Full) and a bunk bed (twin over twin). There is an additional shared hallway bathroom.

Location: 13.4-mile drive to 61st Street; 17.4-mile drive to 25th & Strand; 13.4 miles to Moody Gardens/Schlitterbahn Waterpark.

Notes: No pets. No garage access but there is a ground level closet offering guests use of owner’s beach chairs and beach toys.

Great locations and As Described
This was the perfect location for our rather large group. Pictures and descriptions doesn’t do it justice. It has everything you need. It mentions beach toys, there’s several boogie boards, a ton of sand toys and plenty of beach chairs.

Just Perfect!
The property was amazing and my family loved it! It rained a great deal while there, but the house was so comfortable that we didn't mind. It was so well stocked that we didn't need anything, games, books, kitchen utensils, it is all there. Thank you to the owners for sharing their home with us. We will definitely rent again!

Perfect Beachfront Property
Beautiful, spacious, well equipped, comfortable. It was perfect in every way…everything we needed and more. Books, games, movies, cooking supplies. Close enough to Seawall yet far enough for more privacy and the feel of a secluded beach :) Just watch out for snakes in dunes!

Wonderful Beachfront Property
We had a great time at this VRBO. The house was clean, the location was prime, and everything was as advertised. One of the reasons we chose this house was the reviews about how many extras were included that might not be in every rental property. The kitchen was fully stocked, lots of movies to watch and games to play, and there were a few things that were convenient to have next to the beach. Glad we didn't have to go to Walmart and buy a bunch of stuff that we wouldn't take home with us. It was a great experience.

Wonderful weekend
The property really does have all you need, just bring your food and your all set. So many things they don't have listed on the website included both drip and Kcup coffee maker, lawn chairs, sand toys, charcoal BBQ all the pots and pans and dinner ware you would need. I would definitely rent this property again.

Fun Family Time!
This location is really great, right in the beach and not too far from the sea wall. It’s perfectly stocked, just bring shampoo and conditioner there isn’t much at all. Plenty of beach chairs and toys. Games, DVDs, fully stocked kitchen and appliances. Some sheets need replaced, some are really rough. Good stay though!

Has everything
The house is beautiful. There are tons of beach stuff for the kids and chairs, no need to bring that stuff. The house is supplied quite well with just about anything you'll need, just bring food. We had a family of 13, ranging from 58 to 6 months and we were all very comfortable and had so much fun.

Girls Trip
We loved this property!! It is pure luxury! The pictures of the inside are spot on. The furniture was beautiful but comfy and cozy. The bedrooms were big and spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with high end dishes and cookware. We stopped by the grocery store and enjoyed cooking in this kitchen overlooking the ocean. It was the perfect place to relax on our girls winter beach trip. There were only 5 of us this time but definitely want to bring the rest of the family back. There is plenty of room! And big nouns… This house is RIGHT on the beach so we could watch the kids play from the balcony. We enjoyed our stay so much!

Butterfly Dunes
Beautiful property and amenities. All as pictured in listing. Great kitchen with everything I needed to bake and prepare meals and treats. Lovely furnishings in every room. I felt like we were in one of my friends’ home. Views are beyond amazing throughout the house. Gorgeous sunrises from Primary bedroom. Location is good too. Also, easy , short drive to the Seawall restaurants. Good selection of local restaurants too. We have very large men (6’6”) in our family and the seating area in living room worked well. Very nice outdoor spaces too ,and accommodates everyone for dining, lounging and sunning. Separate spaces to get some reading and alone time as well. I can’t wait to return!! PS : Butterflies and dragon flies entertained along with sea birds. Recommend highly

Fantastic Beach House
The home is beautifully decorated and feels like a home as soon as you walk in. The kitchen is furnished with every kitchen item (pots, pans, utensils, gadgets, etc) you need to cook all your meals include a decent selection of spices. You do have access to the owners beach closet for adult and children's beach chairs and a large collection of toys for the kids to play in the sand along with a couple of boogie boards and skimmer boards. The only critique is the thermostats are impossible to work. I have used a wide variety of smart thermostats, but these were impossible to adjust. Fortunately, the weather was not super hot for us, so we were comfortable. I would recommend specific instructions for adjusting the thermostat in the owners book because if there was a trick to getting the screen to show the temp adjustment, I was unable to figure it out. I would recommend this house to everyone and would not hesitate to rent again.

Family weekend Getaway
From the moment we saw the property listing and look through pictures, we knew it was going to be perfect for our family. The view is amazing! Property is very clean and love the interior decor. Couple of issues in top and bottom master bathroom and middle bathroom shower and bunk bed room door to balcony. Beautiful master bathroom but in tub the water would take forever to go down drain. Middle bathroom the shower doors were broken from rail. Bottom shower water would come out of door when you turn on shower head. Older model shower maybe. Kitchen is equipped with everything you possibly use. Spices are expired. We had taken a lot of our spices and other items! Definitely would love going back. Would love it more if check in was earlier instead of 4. First night we weren’t able to enjoy and see everything. But fell in love with beach house and property. One thing we didn’t like was that a group of people went and sat right across the beach access coming out of property. We had to sit away from our area. But other than that our stay was amazing! Can’t wait to go back and stay longer. ❤️Palafox Family

Wonderful weekend at Butterfly Dunes
This house was the perfect place for a reunion of friends, from California, Colorado, Austin and houston. We loved the amazing views from the house, the ease of walking to the beach on the private path. The house had everything we needed for meals and comfort. Great communication with the management company on any small issue we had. we could not have asked for anything more. I will be back!

Quick Family Beach Getaway
The home was everything as advertised. Very beautiful home, nicely decorated inside and out. Plenty of space for the 11 family members that were there over the Labor Day weekend getaway. They provided a lot more items then the normal VRBO has in the past… sheets, towels, k-cups, soaps, shampoos, etc. Really enjoyed the home during our stay. Will definitely be back.
