Friendly Oaks

Victoria, Texas.

Friendly Oaks B&B is nestled among several huge live oak trees in a quiet preserved historic area. Close to banks, courts, restaurants, antique shops and the new Performing Arts Center. Scrumptious full breakfasts feature Texas produce.

Bed and Breakfast Description

The Friendly Oaks Bed and Breakfast, built in 1915, is located in the historic "Street of Ten Friends" district of Victoria, founded in 1824. The name "Texas" is derived from the native Indian word for "friendly". Your hosts, Bill and CeeBee, make the ambience of history come alive in the shelter of ancient live oaks.

Deep sea fishing in the Gulf is 30 miles away. Golfing, biking, boating, nature hiking, and frequent local festivals are great attractions in the Victoria area. We're situated in an expansive historic preservation area with more than 200 homes and businesses listed.

Though Victoria is a bustling, growing community, it turns quiet when the sun goes down. However, it has its share of cultural activities with a symphony, community theater and ballet.

Victoria's Museum of the Coastal Bend showcases the rich multi-cultural heritage of the mid-coastal region of Texas. The Museum’s mission is to enhance the appreciation and enjoyment of the region's heritage. The Museum's purpose is to collect, preserve, exhibit, interpret, and educate using the history and heritage of the region.
