East coast vacation homes are located in some of the most stunning destinations in the US. There is an amazing amount of variation in the homes you can find along this coast, so it's easy to choose East Coast vacation homes to suit your budget, taste, and needs. Some of the most popular destinations are Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, the Outer Banks in North Carolina, and Cape Cod, Massachusetts, while Vermont is a top destination for skiers looking for privacy, and New York for those wanting a home-away-from-home in this most cosmopolitan of cities. Whatever your destination, you'll find East coast vacation homes in the guise of villas, condos, estates, beach houses, and even log cabins. If you know where to look, there's plenty of opportunity to get the best deals on vacation homes.

Of all the beaches on the East coast, Myrtle Beach is one of the most popular for vacation homes. Vacationers flock to book a Myrtle Beach rental because of the gorgeous coastline, warm climate all year round, and the world-class golf opportunities. Choosing a Myrtle beach house rental over a hotel means that you have more choice of where you are located, and more privacy. Many condo rentals and villas have their own private pools, as well as their own private access to the beach. The area is known for its peaceful and well-maintained planned communities, such as Carolina Forest, to the west of Myrtle Beach. Those wanting a safe, quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of the beachfront itself should consider a Myrtle beach house rental in one of these communities. Oceanfront condos and villas are also available, as are vacation homes on the edge of Myrtle Beach National Golf Course, for enthusiasts who can't get enough of the sport.

The Outer Banks is one of the most uniquely stunning destinations on the East coast, and is also popular with golfers. Those looking for an Outer Banks beach house will be spoiled for choice, as there are over 12,000 homes to choose from on the Outer Banks. There are plenty of modest bungalows, for those looking for a cheap vacation home by the beach, while vacationers with more cash to splash, or who have a large family, can opt for one of a dazzling selection of condominiums. While an affordable Outer Banks beach house may not have a pool or spa, you can easily find cheap properties with good access to the waterfronts of the Croatan, Pamlico and Roanoke Sounds, while luxury vacation homes boast such delights as in-home theatres, and even private putting greens. Whichever Outer Banks beach house you choose, you'll enjoy the rich history of the area, which goes back to the New World settlers, as well as the fresh seafood cuisine and breathtaking natural landscapes.

Many vacationers heading for the East coast choose to rent a house in Cape Cod. There are plenty of choices, from simple beach huts to oceanfront villas, along the Cape's 250 miles of stunning beaches. Most of these have convenient access to the shore, which is important not only for sunbathers, but also for those taking advantage of the Cape's great fishing opportunities. The more upscale properties will also have private beach access and many have pools. Another reason to rent a house in a Cape Cod is to take advantage of the river cruises down the famous Cape Cod Canal. While most holidaymakers are there for the sun and sea, you can rent a house in Cape Cod all year round, and in the winter enjoy the rolling sand-dunes, learn about the area's Pilgrim history, and enjoy a glass of wine from Martha's Vineyard.

East Coast rental homes—both luxury and cheap—are located in just about every community up and down the east coast as well. From Maine to Virginia Beach to Florida, and everything in between, expect to find vacation homes wherever your vacation leads you.
