Butterfly Dunes | Direct Beach Access & Views!

Welcome to Butterfly Dunes, a stunning beachfront escape nestled along the serene shores of Galveston, Texas. Designed for travelers seeking tranquility, privacy, and uninterrupted ocean views, this luxurious 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers the ultimate setting for a restorative coastal getaway. With its unbeatable beachfront location and spacious design, Butterfly Dunes is where relaxation meets refined comfort.

From the moment you arrive, the soothing sound of the waves sets the tone for your stay. The home’s expansive wrap-around deck offers front-row views of the Gulf and is uniquely positioned closer to the shoreline than its neighbors, giving you rare, panoramic 180-degree vistas of the beach, dunes, and sea. Soak in the sun on the deck’s loungers, sip cocktails at the built-in bar, or gather for meals at the oversized outdoor dining table. With seating for 17, including a shaded lounge area, the deck is an outdoor paradise in itself. An outdoor shower, picnic area, and direct beach access ensure every day is a beach day.

Inside, Butterfly Dunes welcomes you with soaring windows, abundant natural light, and an open-concept layout that creates an inviting, airy atmosphere. The main floor features a spacious living and dining area perfect for gathering with family and friends. The adjacent kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and entertaining. A main-level king bedroom with private deck access and a full bathroom offers a convenient and comfortable space for guests of all ages.

Upstairs, the luxurious master suite features a Tempur-Pedic king bed, additional daybed with trundle, a spa-like bath with jetted tub, double sinks, and a private balcony overlooking the water. Two additional guest rooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements — one with a queen bed and shared balcony access, and a kid-friendly bunk room with both a pyramid bunk and a twin-over-twin bunk bed. A full shared bath and laundry room with a washer and dryer add to the comfort and functionality of the upper level.

Adventure and fun await just a short drive away. Located approximately 13 miles from Galveston’s main attractions, guests can easily explore Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn Waterpark, and the vibrant Strand Historic District. Enjoy fresh seafood at island restaurants, shop for coastal treasures, or take a dolphin-watching cruise — all within reach of your private retreat.

Book your stay at Butterfly Dunes today and experience the magic of beachfront living in one of Galveston’s most enviable locations. Breathtaking views, unmatched comfort, and unforgettable memories are waiting for you on the sand.

Please note: Outdoor security cameras are present.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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
