My husband and I and a few of our friends would like to rent a place for a week along the Maine or New Hampshire seacoast. Our problem is, we don't want to spend more than $500 for a week, and we waited until now to look for a place (just came up with the idea).

All of us are on tight budgets, which is another reason we would like to travel together - so that we can split the cost! We checked into renting hotel rooms and right now they are well above $100 per night for two people. That would be at least $300 for our group per night. So we figured that renting a cottage that allowed 6 people would be much better.

I have looked a bit online but most are booked or way over our price range... does anyone know where to find good deals online for cottages near the ocean?
