We (3 families with kids of all ages) stayed here for 4 nights for a mini family reunion - it was a wonderful time! The main house and back cottage was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed! The location was perfect as well, being seconds away from the beach. We had a little issue getting the lockbox to open during check in, but we eventually figured it out. Check out was a breeze! I definitely recommend staying here!

About the host
Hosted by Mark
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!
