In Beachfront Bargain Hunt: Renovation season 4 episode 8, titled "Westport Wonder," viewers follow a couple on their journey to transform a fixer-upper home into their seaside dream escape. Located in Westport, Massachusetts, this rustic beach bungalow needs extensive updating, repairs, and construction work to transform it into the couple's dream vacation home.

The episode begins by introducing the couple and showcasing their excitement for their new seaside home renovation project. The couple shares their vision and expectations for the renovation process, which is to create a relaxing and comfortable space where they can escape their busy lives and unwind by the ocean. With a renovation budget of $150,000, the couple is up for the challenge of transforming this beachfront bargain into the home of their dreams.

As the couple tours the property, they quickly realize that the home's location on a small hill overlooking the coastline is one of its most desirable features. However, the ceilings are low, and the home's interior layout is inefficient. The tiny two-bedroom home requires a complete overhaul to suit their needs.

The couple meets with their contractor, who walks them through a detailed renovation plan, that includes removing walls to create a much-needed open concept living space, raising the ceiling height, installing new insulation, and new windows and doors to enhance the stunning ocean views. Other essential aspects of the renovation include remodeling the two small bedrooms into a spacious master suite with a private bath, installing a new kitchen with modern appliances, and a large island for entertaining.

Throughout the renovation process, the couple is faced with several unexpected challenges, including hidden mold, asbestos, and outdated electrical wiring, which significantly impact the project's timeline and budget.

As the renovation nears completion, the couple becomes increasingly excited about their new seaside home. They select the perfect beachy decor, including furniture, artwork, and accessories to create a comfortable and inviting space. The final result is an impressive transformation that showcases the beach bungalow's true potential. The home is now a breathtaking retreat with stunning views and open spaces that maximize natural light and the breathtaking ocean views.

Finally, the couple is beyond happy with their Westport Wonder as they walk through each area of the home and reflect on the renovation journey. With the renovation complete, they can now fully enjoy their vacation home and cherish the time and memories spent there. The episode ends with the couple raising a glass to their stunning new beachfront home and the hard work and dedication that went into making it a reality.
