    Nautical Room

    August 22, 2011

    A quaint B&B with charm. An older home feel and with all the unusual decorations and pieces of art adds to the ambiance. Breakfast was awesome and meeting others that stayed overnight was great. Close to the seawall shops and restaurants and not far from the Moody Gardens and Shlitterbaum.

    We had a marvelous stay at Avenue O B&B! The room was clean, private and well provisioned. I will definitely stay there on my next visit! And Connie's homemade cookies are to die for!

    Food was GREAT!

    July 18, 2011

    The room was comfortable. It could use a bigger mirror somewhere. The hospitality was great. I am not a big traveler so the value was what I expected. The garbage was not taken out from the previous tenants. The food was excellent.

    Such a great time!

    June 23, 2011

    My husband and I stayed there for the weekend due to a wedding we had to attend in Galveston. Connie was amazingly sweet! The room was very nicely decorated and the bed was very comfortable!! I booked my stay with them because they are pet friendly, as long as they stay in a kennel while we are gone and they are on a leash when walking them, it was amazing! A great little getaway for all of us (including the dogs :P) Connie is such a great cook! She makes sure you don't leave hungry! I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back! XOXOX

    Great place to stay

    June 13, 2011

    We stayed 3 nights, 4 days and I proposed to my girlfriend on the first night. The room we stayed in (Rainforest Room) is romantic and secluded and the house and garden are impressive. The owner was so great...her meals were tasty and she was so excited to hear about our engagement. We'll be back and I recommend this to all. We plan on sending my soon-to-be mother and father in-law as a gift. This was our first B & B and certainly not our last. No more hotels for us.

    Connie Porter's breakfasts are culinary delights in their preparation, variety, and taste. Avenue O's rooms each have a different theme, reflected in its name. Some have large jacuzzi tubs. This was our second stay, so we knew what to expect. We will stay there again next time we visit Galveston. And they allowed us to bring our big dogs. (A side note: our dogs are well-behaved and non-destructive.)

    Avenue O B&B

    June 09, 2011

    The European Suite was fabulous and the staff and other guests were very kind to my boyfriend and I (gay couple, so don't be scared to book here!). I'm leaving the country for 8 weeks, so we wanted to do an away weekend with just the two of us and this was absolutely perfect. Definitely the best B&B I've stayed at on Galveston.

    Relaxing Anniversary Weekend!

    June 07, 2011

    My husband and I stayed at Avenue O for our anniversary this past weekend, and it was our first bed and breakfast experience, so we weren't sure what to expect. We stayed in the Rainforest Room, which was nice and big and instantly brought us back in time a few decades. The bathroom, although small, was clean, and the whale tub was fabulous! The only complaint that we have is that the rugs in the room were a bit dirty and could've used a good vacuuming-the bedroom even smelt of dirty rugs. Overall, the service was great! Connie was very welcoming and cooked a fabulous breakfast-if breakfast is one's main criteria for a good bed and breakfast, than look no further than Avenue O. We weren't even hungry for lunch until 2 in the afternoon! Overall, we had a nice, relaxing anniversary weekend.
