Mothers Day Weekend Retreat

Awesome location! Kitchen is well stocked. We really enjoyed our stay. We had guests of all ages and they had a great time. There’s a grocery store down the street which meant we didn’t have to visit a big box store in town.

Butterfly Dunes was a fantastic home for our annual family beach time. The indoor stairs made move in and departure days so easy. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans, utensils coffee mugs and yetis. The living area and two eating tables were great for our party of 12.The well stocked beach closet was another plus.We will return to Butterfly Dunes.

Great beach location, private beach area but property was run down, old and not kept up with, a bit dirty and not stocked up with basic needs like toliet paper and paper towels.

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.

Quick beach side vacation.

We had a fabulous last minute quick trip to Galveston with family and a few friends. The house completely stocked with everything one would need from kitchen appliances to sand castle gear. Located on the beach was a blessing. The house was beautiful with plenty of comfortable beds…one of the best I’ve ever slept on. Check in and check out was a breeze. The rental company checked in with us to see how things were going and responded immediately when I reached out to them. I highly recommend this beach house and look forward to renting again in the future!

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.

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!

We're so glad you enjoyed your time at Butterfly Dunes - we think it's the perfect vacation home as well. Unfortunately, we do share the island with snakes. They are usually sighted in and around the dunes. Staying clear of the dunes and staying on crossovers or footpaths is your best bet.

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!

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.
