We stayed on our Honeymoon and had a wonderful time. The Rainforest Room was exceptional, and the whale tub was to die for. We had a great beginning to our Honeymoon.

My wife and I returned to Galveston for our anniversary, but this time chose a B&B rather than an over-priced hotel. What a smart choice! We had a nice welcome sign when we arrived. The rainforest suite was romantic. Connie had our champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries ready on a silver tray on our bed when we came back from dinner, and we enjoyed the free DVD library. The whale tub got plenty of use... definitely the biggest hit. The breakfast was incredible (and we loved meeting the other guests). This was our first B&B experience, but it sure won't be our last!

This was our second visit to Avenue O. All the rooms have a different theme, so this time we stayed in the Rainforest Room. It has a large, whale-shaped tub that is quite relaxing with plenty of room for two. It is much bigger than the picture on the website portrays. The bed was the most comfortable one we have ever slept in. Avenue O has close, easy access to the seawall or downtown. Connie does a great job of making you feel welcome and her breakfasts are OUTSTANDING.

The personal touches made this more than just another bed and breakfast. Connie was a wonderful hostess her attention to details made the stay very special. The South Pacific room made us feel like we were on our own island. It was very quite and private. The room is very romantic and has a two person full size jacuzzi. The special packages that Connie offers are worth the money because they add romance and excitement to the stay. Breakfast food was wonderful. We will be returning as much as we can.

We came for the Mardi Gras and stayed in the European Suite. It is located above the garage in the backyard, it’s old and the construction lacks attention to detail, but it is also roomy, clean and the double Jacuzzi tub was nice (although you have to get in to turn the tap on – an inconvenience). We became good friends with other guests making the Mardi Gras much more fun to attend. One couple stayed in the South Pacific room and I noticed it had better construction and a more cozy feel. Another couple stayed in the Safari room. It didn't have a nice feel when we visited them and It had a moldy odor. We speculated there may have been a water leak so this may eventually be fixed. I would personally recommend staying in the main house (ie; the South Pacific or Sunshine room) with the European Suite being a good choice for more privacy. Breakfasts were amazing. It was like eating out at some $$$$$ restaurant in a romantic European country. Soft music, great food, lovely décor and being treated like royalty. The location is excellent for the Mardi Gras, only a block off the parade route and a dozen blocks from downtown. Bikes were provided and we made good use of them. The neighborhood is a mix of run down homes and very elegant homes. Galveston is an interesting town to visit. The economy is depressed and it shows in the run down homes but we never felt unsafe. I recommend having a car to get around. The drive down the seafront is beautiful (f it’s not foggy) and a trip on the ferry is worth the fee (free). Moody Gardens is also worth the time to visit.
