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.

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.

Jeff and Polly are superb hosts, so very knowledgeable and welcoming. They also prepare a delectable breakfast each day that is 5 stars. 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!

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.

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.

Awesome bed and breakfast!
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!!

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.

Connie insured we had a wonderful stay from the moment we walked into the foyer. She greeted us like old friends. We had a tour of the house and then went into the delightful garden. There is a fire pit in the backyard and each night at 8 the fire was lit and Connie provided all the makings for smores! Just a wonderful place and we will be back.

A dream of a stay in Galviston
Our arrival was easy, sans complication and neither parking, nor communications regarding our slightly delayed arrival were any problems. The spacious and unconventionally designed mansion, with its wonderful garden looks like it was ripped straight from a movie - each and every aspect, from the stairs to the "Welcome note", personalized for us, oozed attention to detail that went above and beyond anything we could have expected. The private terrace of the South Pacific room, on which smoking is permitted, was accessible from the bedroom, which was a huge plus. The cleanliness of the place, the conceptually perfect decoration of everything and the warm, kind-hearted welcome were a boon for the weary traveler. The, in the best of ways, charmingly eccentric ambience was further underlined by actually getting a smores-kit to use with the fire pit in the garden, allowing for a romantic after-dinner sit-in while gazing in the embers. Have I mentioned the jacuzzi and the fact that from our welcome to the sumptuous breakfast and the canopy bed EVERYTHING was absolutely perfect? This has been the best B&B experience we ever had - if you expect sterile, cold designs, this won't do. But if you're like us and love attention to detail, heart, character and care beyond anything you usually get to see, if you enjoy the slightly alternative, then this is absolutely perfect!
