    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!

    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!

    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

    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.
