Ep 3. Slice Of Paradise

In "Beach Hunters" season 5 episode 3 titled "Slice of Paradise," viewers get a glimpse into a couple's search for the perfect beach home. The episode follows Joe and Val as they explore Long Beach Island in New Jersey to find their dream vacation property.

Joe and Val have been searching for the perfect beach house for two years, and Long Beach Island has peaked their interest. This barrier island runs along the coast of New Jersey and is home to many beautiful beaches. The couple is hoping to find a property that can be used as a vacation home for themselves, as well as rented out for extra income.

Throughout the episode, Joe and Val visit three different properties that each have unique features. The first house they tour is a three-story home with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The house is located a block from the beach and has an open-floor plan with modern finishes. With a price tag of $1.2 million, this property is the most expensive of the three.

The second property they view is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home which sits on the bay side of the island. This property has a dock and a swimming pool, which is a rare find for a property on the bay. The home also has a rear deck that provides a view of the wetlands. While this property is listed at $999,000, Joe and Val feel they may need to invest additional money into renovations.

Finally, the couple visits a three-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow that has been recently renovated. The property, listed at $975,000, has a large backyard that's perfect for entertaining. The bungalow is only a two-minute walk to the beach, which is a huge selling point for Joe and Val. However, they are concerned that the house may be too small for their needs.

Throughout the episode, Joe and Val weigh the pros and cons of each property. They consider factors such as location, size, and whether or not the house can be used as a rental property. Ultimately, the couple chooses a property that meets all of their needs and budget.

This episode of "Beach Hunters" is a great example of how important it is to do your research before investing in a vacation property. Joe and Val took the time to explore different areas and properties before making a decision, which allowed them to find their perfect "slice of paradise."
