Clinton, PEI — $149,700

For under $150,000 you can own a furnished waterfront property on Prince Edward Island. This two bedroom cottage is located on one acre and has views of the Sou’west River from its back deck. It’s located in Clinton, which is near the Red Shores Golf Course. You can expect peace and quiet in the neighbourhood, as the cottage is surrounded by greenery, and housing is sparse. Clinton is only a 40 minute drive from Charlottetown, too.

Prince Edward Island cottage

Vanderhoof, BC — $92,000

Located in a small town near Prince George in central British Columbia, this two bedroom A-framed cabin has been the current owners’ “home away from home” for over 10 years. It’s within walking distance from Cluculz Lake and has a galley kitchen, loft, and beautiful deck. The only downside to this rural escape is that there is no running water. However, according to the owners, the “neighbours have a great flowing well so there is a good water supply, and the outhouse gives a person the camping experience.”

Cherry Beach Resort, ON — $125,000

Located in Prince Edward County’s Cherry Valley, this cabin at Cherry Beach Resort is a great vacation home for Ontario residents. Only two years old, the cabin features two bedrooms, a full-sized kitchen, and a large outdoor living area with its own flat screen television. Amenities at the waterfront resort include a saltwater pool, sandy beach, children’s playground, and tennis and basketball courts. It’s also minutes away from world-renowned Sandbanks Provincial Park.
