I was blown away by the communications, the care taken by Richard the Manager, and the fabulous food! From the initial interaction we had with Richard when searching for a venue for our Afternoon Tea, through the planning, and the official event he seemed to have as much fun as we did. We got a lot of no answers from other venues when we requested accommodations and variations and Richard gave us yes answers at every turn! We loved the venue so much that we will be returning in the future! If you are ever looking for a venue or bed and breakfast that can provide you with the ambiance of a historical home and actually *be one* I will tell you hands down to go no where else!

My husband and I got married at The Lasker in 2020. Before we even finished our weekend, we had…read moredecided that we wanted to have our 5-year anniversary party in the same spot! When he says he'll care of everything, he absolutely means it... Richard is one of a kind! We brought 12 friends down to Galveston and rented the house for the entire weekend... Our crew was absolutely blown away by how much attention to detail was put into every aspect of their stay. Each of the rooms has such a distinct personality, and the charm of the old house is put on full display to shine through. Richard checked in with us a few times during the evening to make sure we had everything we needed. On Saturday morning, breakfast was served and WOW--Logan knows his way around the kitchen. Our friends were so impressed with the food and even requested the recipes of a few items. When we slipped out to enjoy the Strand for a few hours that afternoon, Richard and his team refreshed our rooms. We decided to host a dinner with more guests Saturday evening to celebrate 5 years, and that went off without a hitch. Cocktail hour with the famous Lasker charcuterie board was enjoyed by all, and the barbecue spread for our main course was absolutely delicious! As an added treat, Richard had a miniature version of our original wedding cake for guests to enjoy. It was a hit! Sunday morning breakfast was just as delicious as Saturday's... Logan's famous hangover hash was gobbled up, and the yogurt parfaits hit the spot. We can't say enough about how much we love The Lasker, Richard, and his entire team... Their goal is to make every stay memorable, no matter the occasion, and they flawlessly execute every time.

Let's talk about hidden gems. The George Manor is definitely one of those in Galveston. We stopped…read morehere to stay before a cruise and that was a great move on our part. This historic bed and breakfast offers a lot on the property. Built hundreds of years ago, The George Manor is a collection of vintage painting, craftsmanship, architecture, and landscaping. The real shining star is the Chef, Michael de Bayer. When I read his bio online, I was already impressed. How could you not be? He's cooked for Tina Turner, Prince, and a number of others that you might recognize. He's one of the most personable chefs I've met and I had a blast talking to him about food, cars, and a bunch of other things. We signed up for the prix fixe dinner service and while we knew it was a 5 course meal, it was a ton of delectable food. Starting with a curry spiced amuse bouche, then a glorious carpaccio and caviar, an über schnitzel with gulf shrimp, red snapper, and two over the top desserts. The shrimp with cassis crème was unique and the Black Forest cake was more than authentic, it was transportational to Germany. Moving to breakfast, Chef Michael makes the BEST bacon. Both the lardon bits from dinner to the strips of breakfast bacon, he's a master for sure. If you're in the area, pay this place a stop and make sure to book dinner, it will be an unforgettable experience.

My girlfriend and I were on keto and they customized a wonderfully delicious breakfast that we gobbled up. In addition, they have a small temperature controlled pool in the back to relax. Service: 9.2/10 Friendly, hospitable, and easy going. Such an awesome stay. Convenience: 9.2/10 Minutes away from the seawall, Pleasure Pier, and restaurants. Do it.

We wanted to do something special with just us and Avenue O was the perfect choice! Polly and Jeff were absolute pleasures to work with! This historic home was so charming and cozy. I loved how beautifully it was decorated with a coastal theme. I loved all the beachy touches from the artwork, light fixtures, colors, furniture, etc. Everything was so elegant. We stayed in the Seawall Suite which is the largest room. It has a nice balcony as well. It was also decorated beautifully like the rest of the house. It was very cozy and comfortable. We chose to get married in the backyard near the gazebo. It was perfect. It was just my husband and I, Polly, Jeff and Heidi of course. Heidi actually walked me to the gazebo as if she was walking me "down the aisle." It was adorable! She's the Yorkie in the photos. Our ceremony was quick and intimate. Jeff did an excellent job and made us feel at ease as if we were just hanging out with friends. Not only is Polly an amazing decorator, she is also a very talented cook. She even made us a wedding cake! It was very pretty and so delicious!! I believe she said it was an Amaretto buttercream with strawberry filling. It was sooooooooo amazing!! In the morning, she made us an incredible homemade breakfast! It started off with yogurt parfaits and fresh granola. Yum! Then there were mini pumpkin pancakes, fresh potatoes, bacon and scrambled eggs. The bacon was so yum. It tasted like a maple-peppered bacon but I'm not sure what it was. All I know is it was awesome! Our wedding package was so reasonably-priced. We didn't have to do anything except pay and show up. Polly took care of the rest. We just can't say enough about how wonderful our stay was. Polly is so great at taking care of people. She and Jeff were both fantastic hosts. If you're ever in Galveston, I would highly recommend staying with them instead of at a hotel. You won't regret it!!

Polly hand crafts each of the breakfasts and pairs it with a coffee from a local roaster. Each of the meals starts with a fresh fruit dish that pops with flavor.

Whether you are looking for tips on what to do in the area, looking for a quiet sabbatical, or somewhere to just get away for a weekend, Avenue O is a great place to relax and enjoy your stay. We'll be back for sure!

Delicious breakfast casserole and tamales. It was very close to the Strand and the Seawall, so everything we did was just a short drive.
