Spring invites fresh starts and quick getaways – no passport required. A well-planned staycation can offer the same sense of escape as a long-haul trip, minus border lines and extra expense. With five Coastal Inns – each Canadian-owned and operated – you’re never far from a comfortable base that lets you explore the Maritimes on your own terms.
Why a Staycation Makes Sense Right Now
- Easy on the Budget
Shorter drives mean lower fuel costs and no exchange-rate surprises. More of your travel dollars stay in local communities. - Flexible Itineraries
A single overnight or a long weekend; you control the pace and can pivot if weather (or kids’ schedules) change. - Hidden Gems at Your Doorstep
From coastal boardwalks to indie cafés and farmers markets, the Maritimes offer plenty of pocket adventures you may have overlooked.

Simple Ways to Elevate Your Staycation
- Create a Theme
Plan a “coffee crawl,” coastal photo safari, or history hunt. A loose theme adds purpose without scheduling every minute. - Pack Light – but Smart
Games for rainy evenings, reusable water bottles for impromptu hikes, and an extra tote for market finds keep the trip hassle-free. - Support Local at Mealtime
Swap chain restaurants for neighbourhood diners or food trucks. Ask our front desk for favourites – staff love sharing their go-to spots. - Unplug (Even Briefly)
A short digital break lets you appreciate the scenery, the meal, and the company right in front of you.
