Memorial Day on Galveston Island

Thank you to all the brave men & women and their families who have served our armed forces! As we spend time with friends and family on Galveston Island this Memorial Day Weekend we hope each and every person takes a moment to remember the sacrifices that have been made.

Galveston Island is Made for Sweethearts

Confession time: we still haven’t decided what we’re doing for Valentine’s Day! ::gasp:: Now, unlike some years, this isn’t because as we sit and think about what would be a great gift all we hear are those annoying crickets as absolutely nothing comes to mind. This year, it’s because there are just too many cool local Galveston Island things to choose from!

Winter on Galveston Island

Are we right?!? As “Snowmageddon” is getting ready to turn the East Coast into a big pile of snow, we can’t help but rejoice as we grab our pullover, throw on our flip flops (because, seriously, they are an all-year wardrobe piece – no matter what our mother says) and be SO happy we get to call this Gulf Coast island home!

Sand `N Sea has an HGTV star in the making!

Watch Sand `N Sea REALTOR®, Barbara Zimmerman find the perfect Island property for her clients, Celeste and Dustin, on HGTV’s Beachfront Bargain Hunt.

HGTV was on location filming in Galveston in April and May. Barbara’s clients live in Beaumont and both work in other cities. They wanted an island home where they could “meet halfway” and “honeymoon” together as often as possible. They fell in love with Galveston’s West End charm and Barbara helped them find the perfect island getaway.

It’s Festival Season on Galveston!

It’s Fall!! Don’t get us wrong – we love summers on the island. However, if pressed, we might admit to loving October/November even more (shhhhh!). There’s something about a steady forecast of 80 – 90 degrees with a cool breeze, endless blue skies, and the less-busy beaches that really speaks to us. Plus, it seems like there’s a festival (and festival food!) almost every weekend!

Loving Galveston Since 1974

It seems like just yesterday we were opening our doors as a West End developer and home building business! ::cues up nostalgic music soundtrack:: More than 40 years later, here we are – a solid leader in Galveston real estate sales and a vacation rental company with the largest inventory of professionally managed vacation homes on the Island!

We are proud to be a family-run business with a talented staff of long-term employees with fresh ideas. As a team, we’ve moved from the days of a giant paper calendar and pencils to customized rental software and online reservation access for our guests and homeowners. From paper pamphlets to a fully loaded website, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, Google+ and now, a blog!

Galveston on HGTV’s House Hunters

Did you know? We have our very own reality television star!!

It’s not just our amazing restaurants, our great Galveston fishing, or our beautiful locations for Galveston beach weddings. Our area has been getting global recognition for our beautiful Galveston beachfront properties for sale.

Sand `N Sea REALTOR Cheryl Smith was featured on an episode of HGTV’s House Hunters as she helped a Dallas couple search for the perfect family beach home. Here she is with the crew:

Galveston’s Beach Nourishment Going Strong

We can’t get enough of this awesome project! There’s a huge expanse of brand new beach already open to the public, and work is continuing westward along Seawall Blvd. Here’s a progress picture from September 17:

We get to see the progress every morning on our way to the office, but if you aren’t lucky enough to be heading to a Sand `N Sea vacation home soon you can always watch the progress live on the SandCam!
