Avenue O Bed and Breakfast

I was heading out on a cruise and wanted to find a place nearby the port and not far from good eats. I found Avenue O online and when I read the excellent reviews, plus I would get free parking and a ride to and from the port I was sold. The couple who own this B&B are just lovely and I can’t wait to come back!

The property is located in the silk stocking district of Galveston. It's a few blocks from the beachfront and an easy drive to all the other attractions. Our room was spacious and comfortable and had excellent climate control. Jeff and Polly were gracious and accomodating. We weren't hungry until dinner after enjoying the excellent homemade breakfast. Avenue O is all that you would expect in a bed and breakfast.

This is the place to stay in Galveston. The hosts are so accommodating and friendly. They go out of their way to make you feel right at home! The home itself is lovely. We stayed in the Balinese Room which was perfect for us as we were traveling with our daughter. The breakfasts were so delicious! Something to look forward to each day. The bed and breakfast is also very centrally located -close to all attractions and many restaurants. The advantage of being able to leave your car there while cruising and the free rides to and from the port make your cruise traveling so much easier! We also really enjoyed visiting with our hosts and fellow travelers. If traveling to Galveston, you do not want to miss this gem!

This couple is just wonderful. They picked us up from the cruise terminal/port and let us relax there as it was before check-in time. We were greeted with beverages and a welcoming living room to relax! Our room was ready quickly and we had a very comfortable bed, views of the backyard and a beautifully decorated room with a huge walk-in in shower with a bench seat. We were offered recommendations to area places to eat, tour and some complimentary tickets to some local gems! The breakfasts were PHENOMENAL! We enjoyed the covered porch, flowers, we got to see Polly shucking fresh pecans from their tree. We had great conversation with Jeff and Polly and laughs all around. I wish I would have done the dinners here, she is an amazing chef!!!! Thanks for the wonderful time, stories and visit! Brandon & Jen

WONDERFUL stay!! The service was outstanding. Pros: Clean and beautiful establishment, updated, friendly and knowledgeable hosts. Pillows and bedding were very comfortable. Polly and Jeff's breakfast was delicious with homemade jelly/jam. **Get the cruise package - your vehicle will be parked on premises and Jeff will deliver you and your luggage to the pier and return to pick you up! Cons: None I will stay here again and again, couldn't be more satisfied!

Very relaxing suite for the night . Polly and Jeff met us as we drove up to the B&B . The sitting room and surrounding space, as well as the outside garden area was lovely for relaxing in . The view from all of the windows was beautiful! Upon arrival , Our room (The Sea Wall suite , I believe ) was very inviting and our master bath was well stocked .. the bedtime cookie set out for us was amazing! Words alone cannot express how awesome our breakfast was that Polly and Jeff both prepared .. and yes, his bacon is the best we've had! You’ll also love Polly’s homemade granola ! The B&B is close to all of the things you’ll want to visit Galveston for !
