Beach Street Inn — Bay of Fundy Boutique Hotel For Sale, St. Martins, New Brunswick
Beach Street Inn is a 14-room boutique hotel on the Bay of Fundy in St. Martins, New Brunswick — a working fishing village 45 minutes from Saint John. Every guest room has been recently renovated and features a private ensuite bath. The building was originally a shipbuilder's home, and the current ownership has preserved that maritime heritage character while bringing the property up to a modern, upscale standard throughout.
The business is built on more than room nights. Periwinkles, the Inn's in-house restaurant, has earned a strong local reputation for locally sourced seafood and regional fare, and the property generates revenue across accommodations, dining, a bar, and event hosting. Following the renovation, the operation posted significant growth in 2023, with an established base of repeat guests drawn by the location, the food, and the upscale finish of the rooms.
This is a turnkey sale. Furnishings, fixtures, and equipment transfer to the new owner with stated exceptions, so a buyer can take over operations without a major reinvestment in setup or equipment — and can focus instead on growing an already-improving business in one of New Brunswick's most visited coastal destinations.
St. Martins is a historic fishing village on the Bay of Fundy, home to the highest tides in the world — a tidal range that can reach roughly 16 metres (about 52 feet). The village sits at the gateway to the Fundy Trail Parkway, a coastal route of cliffside lookouts, waterfalls, and hiking and biking trails that draws visitors throughout the season, and it's within easy reach of Fundy National Park.
Saint John, New Brunswick's largest city, is about 45 minutes away by road — close enough for day-trippers and weekend travelers from the city, far enough to keep St. Martins feeling like a coastal escape rather than a suburb. For an operator, that combination of a recognizable destination, a steady tourism draw, and proximity to a regional population centre is exactly the kind of market positioning that supports both occupancy and pricing.
Periwinkles, the property's in-house restaurant, has built its reputation on locally sourced seafood and regional New Brunswick fare — a meaningful draw for both overnight guests and outside diners from the surrounding area. Combined with the bar, formal dining room, and outdoor patio, dining is a core revenue stream alongside room nights, not an afterthought.
The Inn also hosts events, adding a third income stream that fills common areas and rooms during shoulder periods. With accommodations, dining, bar sales, and event hosting all contributing, the business has multiple paths to revenue growth — and the 2023 performance gains following the renovation suggest there's more room to run under continued, focused management.
Beach Street Inn is located at 16 Beach St, St. Martins, New Brunswick — a short walk from the village's sandy beach and harbour, and within easy driving distance of the Fundy Trail Parkway and Fundy National Park. Saint John, with its airport, highway connections, and full range of regional services, is approximately 45 minutes away by road, making the Inn accessible for both leisure travelers and business operators sourcing supplies and staff.
