Celebrating 5 Years of “Stay in the Bay”!

As we enter our fifth year in service, we are filled with gratitude and pride. With over 750 unique stays and nearly 500 amazing reviews averaging an incredible 4.89/5 across our three locations, we owe it all to YOU, our wonderful guests and community!

A little history about how “Stay in the Bay” started: when my mom was in the nursing home, I had conversations with many families visiting loved ones. They shared their frustration about having to travel to Sydney or sleep in a spare bedroom at a relative’s home due to the lack of local accommodations. At one point, Glace Bay was the largest town in Canada, yet it had only a few bed and breakfasts. From these conversations, the idea for “Stay in the Bay” was born – providing comfortable, convenient places for families to stay right here in the heart of our community.

Whether you’re visiting Glace Bay for hockey tournaments, reconnecting with family, or just enjoying our beautiful town in the winter months, we hope you’ll continue to make “Stay in the Bay” your home away from home.

Planning ahead for warmer weather? Our Summer 2025 openings are almost fully booked, so don’t wait to secure your stay!

A heartfelt thank you to the community for your support, especially when you spot our name on your local sports team’s advertising. It’s because of you that we can proudly say, “Stay in the Bay!”

Here’s to another great year ahead!

At Stay in the Bay, we’re proud to maintain an average rating of 4.89 out of 5 over the past 5 years, thanks to the hard work of our incredible cleaning team, the meticulous landscaping crew, and the reliable contractors who promptly address any issues. While our small spaces are designed to provide short-term accommodations for travelers, they don’t significantly impact the broader housing market. In fact, we’ve contributed over $25,000 in sponsorships to local nonprofits and youth sports programs, reflecting our commitment to supporting the community.

However, we want to inform you about upcoming changes in September. The government is increasing the registration fee from $50 to $500 per location and adding other fees. We hope these new changes won’t affect our community-minded approach. Thank you all for your continued support and shares over the years!

I can’t say enough about this place. It is an amazing space with a very responsive host. It is simply beautiful, and spotlessly clean. Fantastic amenities. It was a particular pleasure to sit out on the back deck anf have a coffee with a view of Renwick Brook. Being from Glace Bay I was concerned about the road noise on Brookside St but that was not a problem. The place was amazingly quiet at night. This is now one of my go to spots when I am visiting or on business and I have already recommended it to friends and family visiting the Bay. Simply awesome, Jeff!

One of our favorite reviews!!

We're thrilled to announce that our new Airbnb has been on the market for over a month now, and the response has been phenomenal! With a perfect five out of five stars rating, we couldn't be happier with the feedback from our wonderful guests.

When we designed and built this space, we had one goal in mind: to create the perfect home-away-from-home for short-term rental guests like you. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we're delighted to see that our efforts are paying off.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our local customers for choosing to stay with us. Your support means the world to us, and we're grateful for the opportunity to serve you. Here's to many more fantastic stays together!

We have a few spots left for Summer Travel

We're in the final stages now, adding our stylish new backsplash from GET TILE and installing sleek floating shelves from John G MacIntosh. The next step? Enhancing the bathroom with shiplap for that flawless finish. Meanwhile, furniture is en route from Schwartz, and we'll be fine-tuning pricing through live testing in the coming weeks to prepare for Summer bookings, opening up availability in the first two weeks of April.
