'"sandy feet" has been a South Padre Island institution for over 25 years -- master sand sculptor, writer and now innkeeper! She has only one unit to rent -- which means she can lavish all her attention and resources on making this the absolute coolest place to stay on South Padre Island.

The SandBox Gallery/Garden is a little like the ocean -- constantly changing and endlessly fascinating. Enjoy a birdseye view - and free sandcastle instruction - during your stay! more...
