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!
