FANTASTIC PIRATE'S BEACHSIDE VACATION HOME - MOLLY'S DUNE

We rented Molly's Dune for three months and could not have been happier. The location on Galveston is perfect, far away from the busy downtown and just blocks from the beach. Pirates Beach is the premier spot on the island, virtually empty most days and unlike other beaches it's cleaned regularly so there's no seaweed buildup.

The house itself is stocked with everything you could need and Nancy's tastetful decorations set the tone right away. The house has very welcoming vibe to it, we felt settled right away. The neighborhood is more of the same, very quiet and laid back...at night you might feel like the only people there!

We have a toddler and a 3-year old so safety is something we look for. There is a childs safety gate at the top of the stairs, so we felt totally comfortable letting our kids play on the deck relatively unattended. The fenced-in yard gave us some breathing room too on those lazy afternoons with a slow cook meal on the BBQ.

Since our stay was longer than most we inevitably ran into a few minor issues and this is where the property shines: Nancy was always quick to respond and provide a solution regardless of the issue. It made the whole stay very easy. We've rented homes all over the world and Molly's Dune is one of the best. We'll definitely be back!

Molly's Dune was a wonderful place for our family to enjoy the beach. It made being there with grandchildren ideal. The fenced yard, outdoor shower and gate on the upstairs deck are all "kid-friendly" features. Having a wonderful kitchen that allowed us to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner for 6 adults and 3 children helped make the trip affordable for everyone. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the morning with coffee or during the day just to read and relax. It was an easy trip down to the beach each day. We usually went down in the morning, came home for lunch, naps, etc. and then back down to the beach for late afternoon. We only had one "run-in" with a jellyfish and the meat tenderizer (that Nancy had advised us ahead of time to bring along) worked wonders. My grandson and daughter-in-law were smiling again in no time.
Nancy is wonderful to work with and she just makes everything so smooth and easy. My family agrees that we love the idea of making our stay in Molly's Dune's an annual tradition.

Molly's Dune is a very well decorated well maintained beach house. I loved the vibrant decor and found the house to be well-equipped. We have two young children (3 & 1) and it was great to have the fenced in area downstairs with the beautiful new patio equipment and grill so the girls could run around and play while we got dinner ready and ate all while enjoying the cool breeze off the ocean. I loved that Nancy had beach chairs/umbrella/toys/bikes all there ready and waiting for us to use! Nancy (the owner) was great at communicating with us, giving us all the necessary details and more, and making us feel welcome in her home! I also think its a great perk to have country club access, though we weren't able to take advantage of it as my girls just kept asking to go to the beach! We would definitely stay here again, next time I'll bring the girls wagon to haul them back and forth to the beach. Its a quick and easy walk!
