Real Estate Expert Scott McGillivray and Designer Debra Salmoni Unlock Rental Potential In Cottage Country In Season 4 Of Scott’s Vacation House Rules

HGTV Canada offers vacation inspiration this spring with a brand-new season of Scott’s Vacation House Rules (14×60). In the Corus Studios Original series, real estate expert, contractor and Canadian Screen Award-nominated host, Scott McGillivray, and his trusted design partner Debra Salmoni team up to uncover the rental potential of promising properties. Utilizing years of experience and know-how, Scott and Debra help homeowners make smart investment decisions and ultimately transform their vacation properties and turn a profit in the competitive rental market.

This season of Scott’s Vacation House Rules showcases dream escapes from growing tourism hot spots in Canadian cottage country. Viewers see Scott and Debra overhaul and redesign dated properties and revive them into buzz-worthy pockets of paradise. The new season introduces scenic locations including a cliffside cottage retreat, a bungalow on the bay, a breezy beach house, and Scott undertakes a personal project by renovating a cottage owned by a longtime friend. In each renovation, Scott’s five reliable rental rules combined with Debra’s lively designs allow properties to reach their full rental potential.
