Galveston Winter Texans - Vacation Rentals

Where Are The Best Texas Destinations For Snowbirds?

There are many wonderful winter Texas destinations including Galveston Island, Big Bend National Park, San Antonio River Walk, Fredricksburg, and Bandera. Galveston is by far one of the most popular locations, due to its easy to access to and from Houston, charming downtown area, beautiful beach communities, and proximity to the George Bush Intercontinental & Houston Hobby Airports. You’ll go from Snowbird to Winter Texan in no time! 

The Island offers something for everyone — you can spend the day outdoors bird watching, fishing, or looking for shells on the beach. In the evenings, dine downtown before seeing a show at The Grand 1894 Opera House. Throughout your stay, enjoy special Island events like Dickens on the Strand, Holiday with the Cranes and Mardi Gras! Galveston. In other words, enjoy Galveston Island living just like a local!

One of the best ways for Winter Texans to enjoy their stay on Galveston Island is to rent a home right on the beach or bay. Sand `N Sea Properties offers many beautiful vacation homes for Winter Texans and Snowbirds alike. Choose from beachfront, beachside, canal and bayfront homes.
