Excellent service and venue

Jeff and Polly were the best! We were greeted with fresh baked cookies. And then the second thing I noticed was the personalized welcome sign. It’s the small details that made this stay unique. The food was great as well. You can see that someone put some love into preparing those dishes. If you’re looking for a little getaway for two, I can tell you and my girlfriend and I recommend this place!

Top notch service. The hosts were super friendly and knowledgeable. The room was very comfortable and within walking distance from the sea wall and a lot of really good restaurants. That was a great benefit because parking down there is horrible. The breakfast was second to none. The whole stay was wonderful. We would definitely recommend to anyone and we will definitely be back.

Quiet and caring hospitality

Our hosts were very hospitable and kind. We stayed in the Rainforest suite. The bed was comfortable. The large jacuzzi tub was very soothing after a day of touring. Our breakfasts were delightful. The extra room had a small table and two chairs where we sat to read. I could have used a chair with a foot stool. The s'mores around the fire pit each night are an extra touch.

Refreshing and Beautiful Bed and Breakfast

Polly and Jeff greeted me right at the door with smiles and home made chocolate muffins. Their sweet little dog assisted in the making me feel welcome. My room, the Balinese room was beautifully appointed, and the bed one of the most comfortable I have slept in. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and should grace the table of a restaurant. I enjoyed a stroll through their gardens with Jeff giving the history of the respective plants.

The home is delightful and there is a porch overlooking a nice yard with fruit trees and pecan trees. Rooms have redone bathrooms and are very inviting. Location is perfect, walkable to the Gulf and to the Strand/wharf for dinner. Thanks Polly and Jeff

Our welcome by both Polly and Jeff was thoughtful and caring. Polly makes the most delicious cookies, some with pecans right off their pecan tree! Their house, complete with beautiful bathroom renovations is both lovely and historical- as Jeff will inform you! The amazing backyard is peaceful, and beautifully landscaped. It also has a fire pit! One night during our stay, Jeff lit a fire, and Polly brought out graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate bars, so we could make s’mores! Our fellow guests, Jeff, and ourselves, had a delightful time hearing about Galveston history and sharing fellow traveling stories. Jeff even told us about a ghost or two! Our hosts were exceptional, caring individuals. Polly created, not only delectable cookies, but delicious gourmet breakfasts as well. Hats off to Avenue O B & B! We truly enjoyed our time there and hope to be back again soon!

This lovely 1920's B & B is about 4 blocks from Pleasure Pier and was a pleasant stay. Jeff & Polly are such gracious hosts during our 3 nights here recently. Polly offers a morning breakfast that is worthy of a gourmet meal. One has the option of an evening wine or spirit (if needed) as well. We stayed in the Asia Suite with its unique tub and fish tank. The bed was comfortable and room very spacious. We highly you to consider this B & B for your next stay in Galveston.....

Great Breakfast, Great Service

I very much enjoyed my stay here, Polly and Jeff are wonderful! The food is very good and the rooms are comfortable. My only complaint was that I would have liked a mini fridge in the room for medication but the use of the main fridge in the kitchen was offered. The birthday package of wine, cheese, chocolate dipped berries, and balloons was very nice.

This was my first time at a bed and breakfast and I must say, I had an enjoyable experience. The Hosts were very hospitable, the room was comfortable and the food was amazing! Everything think was just amazing! My only gripe was that the water pressure for the shower was low. But that is just a preference, someone else may think it is just right. So it wasn't that big of a deal to me.

Wonderful people- great food!

Going to the Avenue O B.B. in Galveston was literally a last minute decision. We had been vacationing in a beach front resort and on our way home dicided we werent ready to head home. So after looking at availability in Galveston we decided that staying in an old historic house would be a great adventure. So glad we did, we arrived to a welcome sign with our names, breakfast was delicious so worth waking up early for, and ended up staying two nights. During the day they made home made cookies, the bar and wine selection was carefully selected, the grounds were kept nicely and the living quarters very comfortable. Over all the hospitality and service of our host was outstanding! Looking forward to going back. By Ray

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!

I have never been to a Bed & Breakfast before. I have heard amazing things about this place and finally got the chance to check out what all the hype was about this Avenue O place. I called Polly Jones, (the owner) to reserve a room for a few days at her B&B. She got us in by 8:30a, from driving through the night. That day we were checked in and welcomed with open arms. Our names were in the Welcome to Avenue O frames. We loved seeing our names as soon as we walked in. Jeff and Polly have been the kindest couple from making homemade breakfast to fresh homemade chocolate chip cookies!! Jeff also knew all of the sights to see around town! You will regret it if you dont check out Avenue O during your trip to Galveston!

Best Experience in a B&B

My husband and I just completed a long weekend stay at Avenue O Bed and Breakfast. Proprietor Connie cooks the daily breakfast, and she is more than willing to accommodate special diets, just ask. We stayed in the Rain forest room, and absolutely fell in love with whale-shaped Jacuzzi tub, and the separate closed off space where the king-sized bed is, along with a small refrigerator, television and microwave. There are free snacks available within the living room and next to each room on the 2nd floor. Very quiet, with a very-much-at-home vibe! Avenue O Bed and Breakfast is an excellent choice, for a weekend excursion, or longer stay. It is just a few blocks from the ocean and from the Pleasure Pier. Loved being there, and we hope to go back as soon as possible.

Lovely time in a lovely place

This B&B was our second choice for our recent stay in Galveston, but it was a first-rate experience. The hosts were most welcoming and accommodating. We stayed in a ground-floor room with bath that was convenient and nicely decorated. The wine glasses, corkscrew, water in the fridge, and house-made cookies were great! Breakfast was a true Sunday brunch--extremely good and well thought-out. They take dietary needs into consideration, too. Every night they light a fire pit in the back yard for the guests' enjoyment. There are also plenty of seating options in the nicely-landscaped back yard, which includes a side porch straight out of the 1930's. Parking is directly in front of the house, and the house is close to the beach, shopping, and places to eat. Driving is necessary unless you have a bike or really like to walk. We will definitely stay here again.

Absolutely loved staying here. Close to the beach(within biking distance), super quiet. Felt like we were staying with our favorite family member. Room was gorgeous, breakfast was amazing. We stayed in the European room. Furniture was really beautiful(all looked antique) and matched the theme perfectly. Jacuzzi was an added bonus. Only sight down side is that the bathroom got really warm real quick(jacuzzi is in a separate area). Loved the cookies each day, as well as the fire for s'mores. The details really make this place special. Will definitely be back!!
