Upscale Home and Great Location

Lovely property in a perfect location for a more secluded and quiet stay. (Aside from construction.) Mark’s responsiveness and support were flawless. I hope to return… in the winter! 😉 Not only for Texas-heat-relief and less storm water but when the mosquitoes will hopefully be swarming elsewhere.

I enjoy living life to the fullest and love providing that same experience for our guest which is why we started Southern Sands Property Management. I went to Texas A&M and grew up in the Houston area. Crystal Beach/Galveston has always been a popular destination for my family and I love that we now get to spend more time in one of the most relaxing places you can; THE BEACH!
