12 "Seaside Cottages" You Can Rent For Super Cheap In Canada's East Coast This Summer
The East Coast is truly spectacular, and it is home to so many gorgeous hidden gems. With the quaint fishing towns, long beaches, whale watching expeditions, and the friendliness of its residents, visitors from any background are routinely blown away by everything the East Coast has to offer.
As we approach the peak of summer, cottage rentals are soaring in popularity, and properties are booking up quickly. While most people are looking for somewhere close and convenient, there are tons of options still available everywhere on the East Coast - and these cottages are seaside, so forget plain old lakes.
If a road trip to the East Coast has always been on your bucket list, renting a cottage along the ocean front is the absolute perfect way to mesh these two summer adventures. Pack the car, blast some tunes, and head down east to enjoy some of the most beautiful places in Canada.
