If you have ever read Anne of Green Gables, you may already be familiar with Prince Edward Island or PEI as it is called. PEI is located on Canada’s eastern side and is one of its most densely populated provinces. It is a beautiful place as well - gentle hills, acres of farmlands and picturesque farmhouses create a lovely landscape here. You can experience this for yourself if you bike along Confederation Trail, a former railway track, which spans the length of the island. Head to the island’s North Shore to admire its pretty villages and taste delicious lobsters or other seafood. If you go to PEI in September, you can even attend the shellfish festival.
Canada’s smallest province has many charms and a vacation here will be truly enjoyable. Plan a trip here, and for a budget-friendly stay, continue reading for a list of the best short-term rentals in Prince Edward Island, Canada.
