About this property
Beachfront Beauty w/ Wraparound Deck & Private Dune Walkover
Sunrise to sunset, Butterfly Dunes delivers picture-perfect Gulf views for your next Galveston escape! Just steps from the sand, this stunning 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home comfortably sleeps up to 13 guests and is thoughtfully designed for sharing special moments with family and friends. With a prime location and expansive outdoor living spaces, this beautiful retreat invites you to relax, unwind, and soak up the best of island life.
Your vacation begins the moment you step inside! Bright, open living spaces filled with natural light and picture windows draw your eyes straight to the sparkling Gulf beyond. Whether you're lounging on the comfortable furniture, preparing meals in the fully equipped kitchen, or gathering around the dining tables, everyone can enjoy the sweeping views and laid-back coastal atmosphere.
At the end of the day, each bedroom offers a welcoming place to rest and recharge. The main-level king bedroom features convenient deck access, making coming and going a breeze. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite boasts a king bed plus a twin bed with trundle for extra sleeping space. There's direct deck access from the primary suite as well - perfect for sipping your morning coffee while watching the waves roll in. Two additional upper-level bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with two bunk beds, offer flexible accommodations for family and friends.
Step outside to discover multiple decks where memories are waiting to be made. Sip your favorite drink, savor homecooked meals, or simply lounge in the sun, all while taking in panoramic Gulf views. When you're ready for sand between your toes, the private walkover leads straight to the beach. After a day in the surf and sand, rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower, relax on the ground level patio, or gather on one of the decks to plan tomorrow's adventures!
Whether you're here for restful mornings with the surf as your soundtrack, fun-filled afternoons on the beach, or cozy evenings with loved ones, Butterfly Dunes offers a relaxed yet unforgettable beachfront escape you'll be talking about long after you leave.
This vacation home is new to our program. Floor plans will be posted soon. If you have any questions, please call us at 409.797.5500 and we will be happy to help!
