Short Term Rentals
Short-term rentals, such as properties rented through platforms such as Airbnb, VRBO, and similar services, are a growing part of the tourism economy in Eastern Kings. With its beaches, coastal scenery, and proximity to provincial parks and attractions like Basin Head and East Point Lighthouse, the municipality is a popular destination for visitors, and many property owners choose to make their homes or cottages available for short stays during the summer season. A permit is required to operate a short-term rental in the municipality. This ensures that rental properties meet basic standards for the safety and comfort of guests, and that the municipality has an accurate picture of tourism accommodation within its boundaries.
