    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!

    Our experience was very good and we all had a good time for the 3 day stay! House was very nice and clean with lots of room. We loved the design detail it offered and the kitchen was very well stocked. Loved how the balcony offered lots of room and shade. Ax throwing game was a bonus. We would have given a 5 star but there was a couple of issues with our stay and house. Boardwalk is very dated and short! There was a very loose board on the top step on the bottom part walking up that is a dangerous trip hazard. I was very surprised it was allowed to remain loose because it’s very obvious once you step on it. Also the boardwalk is very short allowing extra steps through tough soft hot sand. It would be worth extending it out and ramping it down for future guests. There was also an incident with our canopy’s at the beach! They were picked up over night by the city and discarded. There is nothing in the information book about leaving beach equipment over night and no signs posted, in our neighborhood, about that not being allowed. It wasn’t till we spoke with the city and found a small paper on side of fridge that explained it not being allowed! We even had looked prior on websites and found nothing about that being a violation. It cost us an extra 200 dollars and headache to replace them while we were there. While on our way to academy we stopped in another neighborhood to look for signs and there, in deed, were signs posting that it wasn’t allowed. Communication was lacking.

    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.

    Beautiful home, unfortunately we arrived to multiple half dead water bugs and flies Start your vacay cleaning up one of your top 5 fears was no exactly the way we wanted to start our vacation. Let company know and they weren’t exactly sending someone over to clean again. Needless to say, we did a once over clean on property to get rid of the ick factor.

    You couldn’t ask for a better location. Everything was comfortable and wonderful! I love that all 7 of us could sit at the tables inside and outside. There was also plenty of room to lounge around and watch a movie at night. The kitchen was super well stocked too as we like to cook about half of our meals when on vacay! The only negative was the upstairs master tv isn’t smart or Cobb wanted to anything so it is only able to mirror, but it wouldn’t work for us. However, the entire beautiful wall of windows in front of you there is the ocean so no loss there!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
