About this property
The Ava Belle Inn: A Gem in the Historic District by the Strand
Welcome to the Ava Belle Inn, your family’s peaceful island retreat in Galveston. Ava Belle is located in the beautiful historic district near the Strand yet only a half mile from the fun of the Galveston beach. This three bedroom retreat is perfect for families, and friends, medical professionals rotating through the Galveston hospitals, or snowbirds who want to escape the winter cold. Our historic home also has amenities people love: bicycles, boogie-boards, indoor/outdoor games, and a great gas grill for cookouts. The Ava Belle Inn is where tranquility, location, and hospitality equals fun!
