Treat your family to that much-needed getaway to the quaint Crystal Beach community! This beautiful open-concept home boasts an inviting living area equipped with a comfortable couch and a set of chairs and a TV with cable. The dining area seats up to four people, but if you need a little bit more space and would like to enjoy your meals with a view, you can head to the lower level of this retreat and take advantage of the chairs and picnic table. There, you'll also find a private gas grill - now you won't have any excuses not to make a barbecue.

WHAT’S NEARBY
O' What A View is located in the quiet beach community of Crystal Beach, only 28 miles west of the bustling Galveston. Its beauty and mellow atmosphere are unrivaled in the Lone Star State, and if you're looking to experience The Gulf without the noise and crowds, this is what you're looking for. Pack your fishing gear and head over across the way to the beach, which is the ideal spot for beachfront wade fishing and any anglers who are always in search of the next best fishing hole.

Sprung break
Came here to get away. Weather wasn't the best, so glad this house was comfy. Found a nice little bar about a mile down the road open on weekends. Totally relaxing trip. I would definitely stay here again!

Galveston trip
Definitely not cleaned well, I had to sweep the rugs and wipe the cabinets. They must have forgotten to vacuum. Food crumbs and sand on the rugs and sticky floors/cabinets. We finally got some patchy WiFi toward at the end of our last day. It was a struggle for my brother- in-law who had to do work off his phone and the signal was not so good. It’s a nice big spacious place to accommodate 10.

Great house. Great Location.
Comfortably fit two families into this great house right across the street from a fantastic, quiet beach. Just fifteen minutes to shops and restaurants—but make reservations! The shelling and beachcombing is excellent. Galveston is a day trip away. Three full bathrooms! Outdoor shower! Easy beach access. Great parking. Surrounded by nature. Stay here. You’ll be very comfortable.

This home was large enough to accommodate 2 families of 5. The beds were very comfortable. Easy access to the beach. I especially loved that it was clean!

Very nice , although the place needs a good dusting . One bedroom had sheets that were covered in black specks of something . We washed them ourselves . One bedroom needs a battery in the smoke detector !! The lazy susan in the kitchen had food crumbs on it .

Nice for a family
We had a nice time at this home and enjoyed the holiday weekend. It is roomy and extremely clean. Well stocked for all our needs! Only issue we had was it’s not the most toddler friendly (glass tables, 3 flights of stairs with no gates etc, and a busier 2 lane road I front). Other than the toddler issue we were able to cross the road easily and safely. Beach was nice and clean, lots of shells. Enjoyed the sunset/rise and comfortable beds.

Wonderful!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-day stay here. The house was very clean and so spacious. Our family of 4 adults enjoyed having our own spaces and bathrooms. We didn’t lack for anything except wash rags and grill, but these were very minor issues. The location was great, away from the business of Crystal Beach. I’d book this house again in an instant!!

Very Beautiful and Clean Home
Very wonderful home . If you plan on cooking do bring a fry pan and maybe a casserole dish if needed cooking supplies are limited. We bought a little Weber grill at the Big Store the one they have needs a BIG cleaning. Everything else was wonderful!

Family Vacation
This place is amazing as well as the deck underneath the living area. This deck made the stay worth it! The only downside it they claim to have a fully stocked kitchen but did not have pans, mixer, and also only had 2 dinner knives. I would stay here again but would plan better and bring more down to cook with.

Nice house but no grill
The house was really clean and cozy. I felt like I stay in my own home. I was disappointed when there was no grill. I was told that there would be a charcoal grill. I asked if I could bring my own portable gas grill but property management denied. I brought charcoal and found no grill. This house will be my last option when I return to the area in my next vacation.

The place was a perfect fit for our little family of 3. The kid loved her space. The location was great for access to the beach. The space was decorated nicely and had everything we needed.

Great Stay
This is a beautiful home with all the extras! They really thought of everything we could need (except a forgotten toothbrush:) The house was very clean, and well taken care of! I would to point out two things we didn't take into consideration: 1. There are 4 flights of stairs 2. The road you cross to get to the beach is a very busy road with fast traveling cars 3. Mosquitos. The downstairs deck area was FULL of mosquitos. This was a bummer because it was overcast & rainy out entire stay, so spending time on the deck was a great option we thought we had. Even with these few obstacles it was truly an amazing stay! We had a wonderful time!

Nice property
We had a great time at the house. No major complaints. Overall it was quite clean, but the floors were a little grimey and a few of the dishes still had food on them. Plenty of kitchen supplies, towels, etc. There is an automatic light on the front porch which can get a bit annoying. Still, these are all minor things and I would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful easy weekend
This property is outside the main drag of Bolivar, it is a little ways from the Big Store & Stingaree - which we really enjoyed. There is a small cluster of homes in the area which seems to be split between residents and rentals. You can see the ocean and wetlands from the house. The house is incredibly clean, perfectly set-up for visitors. We were 2 couples and it was nice that we each had our own bedroom and bathroom on opposite sides of the house. The third bedroom was never used but is perfect for kiddos and also has it's own bathroom.

Comfortable and clean.
We really loved the house location and views. The house was super clean and roomy. We loved the views of the ocean and the interior decor. There was a complimentary sparkling water and a souvenir mug. The grill needs an update. I wouldn’t recommend using it. make sure to bring yourself own charcoal.
