Excellent Stay!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Aug 15, 2020
We stayed in the Balinese room which was fabulous and has a nice little balcony overlooking the backyard. The room was clean, spacious and quiet even with other guests present. The hosts were incredibly hospitable. The breakfust was delicious and unique each day. We had the salmon for dinner one night which was amazing. Close to both the strand and seawall. Overall excellent stay and no hesitation giving the highest rating for this wonderul place!

What a great time I had ay Avenue O Bed & Breakfast! I live in DFW and wanted a weekend getaway. Being fairly new to Texas, I had never been to Galveston. As I drove into the city, I didn’t know what to expect. When I arrived at the B&B, Jeff came out and greeted me. He offered to help with my luggage. I was introduced to Polly and their dog Heidi. The garden is beautiful and well done. The food is FANTASTIC!! And I really appreciate Jeff & Polly’s hospitality. The B&B is within walking distance of The Pleasure Pier and The Strand. I would highly recommend.

Where do I start? First, the hosts, Polly & Jeff are just the best. They make you feel like long lost friends. They house is beautiful, clean, comfortable and quiet. They have a little dog, Heidi, she is so sweet. The location is great, the beach being just a couple blocks away and you're also not far from The Strand. I wish I had stayed here the whole week I was on the Island. This will be my go to place the next time I visit. Each evening Polly had a sweet treat waiting. It was my Birthday so there was a special birthday surprise and I cannot say enough about the food. It was seriously the best food I had on the Island. Breakfast and Dinner! They offer both. Book directly thru their website and check out the Specials tab! I cannot say enough good things about Avenue O BnB.

Avenue O was a wonderful place to stay for a relaxing trip to the beach! The room was beautifully decorated and we loved the renovated shower and bath tub! The balcony was also nice and the backyard was gorgeous with a gazebo and various flowers. The breakfast and yummy treats were delicious and the hosts were very accommodating to bring our breakfast to us due to COVID. We also highly recommend ordering the homemade pizza for dinner. The place was very clean and we felt very comfortable staying there in the midst of COVID. Polly and Jeff were both great hosts, and provided great recommendations for places to see in Galveston.

My husband and I stayed here last minute as a weekend getaway for our anniversary. We could not have picked a better place. From location conveniently located to everything to the amazing hosts, hospitality and food, we just can't say enough positive things. Highly recommend!!!! Here's a tip: book directly on their website. You never know what kind of deal you'll get from Polly! 😉

My wife and I visited for our 1st anniversary. We were contacted before the stay to make sure our needs were being taken care of and well taken care of throughout our stay. The hosts/owners are very welcoming and do everything with love and care impossible at a large hotel. They were open to conversation but also respectful of space and privacy based upon our preference. The design/decor is beautiful and the breakfasts were amazing. If you factor in what the food would cost you at a restaurant, you quickly realize what an incredible bargain you are getting on the prize of the room. The location was also wonderful. It was an easy walk to the beach, which meant we didn't have to mess. with parking on the seawall. And it was a very short drive to the Strand. This is the best B&B experience we have ever had. We will definitely be back.
