Scott McGillivray will transform more rental properties when “Vacation House Rules” returns to HGTV. The network announced season 4 premieres on Saturday, June 3, 2023 at 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times.

The series, which debuted in 2020, follows the Canadian contractor and real estate expert as he “shows families how to unlock the full potential of their vacation property,” according to the series description. “With his guidance, even the most neglected digs are transformed into unique, gorgeous—and profitable—vacation homes for visitors to enjoy.”

He will partner with interior designer Debra Salmoni and implement his “five reliable rental rules” throughout the season’s 14-episode run, Corus Entertainment announced in a press release. The Canadian media company owns HGTV Canada, where the new season premiered in April 2023.

The duo will “overhaul and redesign dated properties and revive them into buzz-worthy pockets of paradise,” Corus Entertainment explained.

Longtime viewers will recognize his rules, which according to HGTV Canada are: “do your research,” “design it,” “get noticed,” “roll up your sleeves” and “be your guest.”
