  • Inn Details

    Bay Manor, in Redondo, a handsome turn of the century three story red brick house, stands on an acre of land, with superb bay and mountain views. Breakfast is served on the deck, where freighters, sail and fishing boats pass by, and seagulls and Eagles frequent visitors. It is well maintained, with an informal and friendly ambience. Redondo, a small waterfront community, has a boardwalk, fishing dock, general store/postoffice, and Salty's famous waterfront restaurant. Easy access to all points of interest. Seattle is a 20 minute drive away, and the freeway, one and a third miles. Come visit soon.

    Elsie & Shuryl have travelled the UK & Ireland writing about B&Bs. It appears they have picked up every trick going and incorporated them to make your stay wonderful. I'm staying with my mother but would love to come back with my own family. I'm currently writing this lying in the (huge) bed looking out over Puget Sound, simply magnificent. If the weather would oblige then it would be perfect.

    Enjoyed our stay

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Elsie's. Elsie is a warm and welcoming hostess , making us feel like family from the minute we arrived. The home has a quaint British theme, with a wonderful view of the bay. Our room though small, had the same fabulous view and it's own bathroom. Elsie and her friend Sheryl offer fabulous breakfastz and converstation. We would recommend this over a Seattle hotel anytime. Thanks Elsie!

    Elsie is a gracious hostess and makes her guests feel special and quite at home. My room was comfortable and charming, with a pot of tea at the ready for me when I arrived. The view from Elsie's Manor is spectacular and it's a ten minute walk down the hill to the boardwalk. I awoke to a wonderful full breakfast and great conversation. I hope to visit Elsie's again soon!

    A wonderful place to stay and a great value

    We stayed at Elsie’s while the rest of our party of 9 stayed at Shuryl’s and Trisha’s. Elsie is a delightful lady, and her home is quaint and comfortable. Our room was small, and the private bath tiny, but it was comfortable. Elsie fed us a huge, delicious breakfast each morning and made us feel very welcome. The rest of our party enjoyed their stays in beautiful homes with gracious hostesses. The price is very reasonable and well worth it.
