Ep 2. A Florida Couple Searches for Their First Home Right on the Beach

A Florida Couple Searches for Their First Home Right on the Beach is the second episode of the first season of Beachfront Bargain Hunt. In this episode, viewers follow a young couple as they search for their dream home right on the beach in the Florida Keys.

The couple, who are both self-employed and enjoy an active outdoors lifestyle, have a budget of $350,000 and hope to find a house that offers them breathtaking views, easy access to the water, and plenty of space to entertain. They have enlisted the help of local real estate agent Graciela Gillespie to help them navigate the competitive beachfront market and find the perfect property.

Graciela shows the couple three different homes, each with its own unique features and selling points. The first property is a charming cottage located in Marathon, Florida and listed for $329,000. This house has a private dock, which would allow the couple to park their boat right outside their front door. The house itself is cozy and has a beachy vibe, with white painted walls and lots of natural light. However, the downside is that the house is situated on a canal, rather than directly on the beach.

The second property Graciela shows the couple is a beautiful townhouse located in Key Largo, Florida and listed for $335,000. This house features a stunning rooftop deck with amazing views of the ocean and the nearby mangroves. The townhouse has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, which would be perfect for entertaining guests. However, the downside is that the townhouse is part of a larger complex with shared amenities, meaning that the couple would have to deal with noise and potential overcrowding.

The final property that Graciela shows the couple is a spacious house located in Islamorada, Florida and listed for $349,000. This house offers direct ocean access and a private dock, as well as a large backyard with a pool. The house has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, which would be perfect for the couple's future plans of starting a family. The downside is that the house needs some renovation work, which could be expensive and time-consuming.

As Graciela shows the couple around each property, they consider the pros and cons of each one, weighing up their priorities and trying to decide which house is their dream home. With so many great options available, the couple has a tough decision to make.

Overall, A Florida Couple Searches for Their First Home Right on the Beach is a fun and entertaining episode of Beachfront Bargain Hunt, showcasing the beautiful beachfront properties available in the Florida Keys. Viewers will enjoy seeing the different homes on offer and following the couple's journey to find their perfect slice of paradise.
