We were in heaven by the sea. Elaine and Danny were the best hosts. beautiful large and spacious home which they shared with the guests. We had a screeching in and everybody was crammed in the kitchen just like the old days. We loved every minute of our stay. Thank you Danny (Eco-tours) for showing us all the bird colonies... more

The perfect place too begin and end my recent trip to Newfoundland. The sense of welcome to "our home" certainly resonated throughout my stay. I enjoyed the location; the room was very relaxing and upscale; and breakfast was not lacking in quality and quantity. Freshly baked blueberry muffins each morning! I would not hesitate to recommend Elaine's and definitely plan... more

Most B&B's take a small bit of liberty in describing their location ("near the water" means if you look through the trees or over the shopping mall, you can see water) but not this property. "By the Sea" is exactly that - a newly renovated home literally on the edge of the ocean. We found this property by accident and... more

Sorry Elaine it has taken us so long to put our comments about your B&B but we figured better late than never. This is the second time that we have stayed at Elaine’s B&B and the main reason we returned to her place was for the fantastic hospitality. I can’t believe that anyone would say it wasn’t clean or smelled... more

We wanted to see icebergs, whales and birds. We were looking to experience Newfoundland hospitality. Elaine, Danny and their kids were wonderful hosts. The zodiac tour to the icebergs, puffins and mers was wonderful. We had lots of time to take pictures and in-spite of the swells the zodiac ride was quite smooth even for a prairie boy. The breakfasts... more

At Elaine's B & B, guests get their own lovely room which is comfortable, although a bit spartan (i.e., you won't be overwhelmed by cutesy knick knacks like a lot of other B & Bs). We were welcomed to spend time in the sitting room, which is shared with the family. I always find this a bit awkward -- even... more

My girlfriends and I went to Newfoundland in August and we decided that after staying in St. John's for a while that we wanted to try a bed and breakfast. I cannot say that it was the best decision for the type of vacation that we were having but....I would definetely go back with my significant other. It was a... more

This is the 3rd time I've stayed at Elaine's since 2002. Every experience has been wonderful with Elaine and Danny making us feel most welcome and at "home". I've been there with 3 different and diverse groups of people, and each time it was the highlight of our stay on the Avalon. We enjoyed the East Coast Trail hikes and... more

Our first night of our first trip to Newfoundland was spent at Elaine's B&B. I felt a bit guilty as I had started off with a three night booking when I first started to plan this holiday, but ended up making it a one night only stay as our itinerary became more complex along the way. We arrived later in... more
