Ep 11. Finding Surfside Beach

In this episode of Beachfront Bargain Hunt season 19, titled "Finding Surfside Beach," viewers join a couple in their quest to find the perfect beachfront property that fits their budget and lifestyle. The couple is interested in buying a vacation spot near the Gulf of Mexico that they can rent out when they are not using it.

The episode starts with the introduction of the couple, their kids and their must-have list for the property. They want a house that offers both a view of the beach and access to the water. They also want something that will generate rental income to help offset the cost of owning a vacation home.

The realtor takes them to Surfside Beach, a small community on the Gulf of Mexico. The beach is known for great seafood, fishing, and, of course, prime beachfront properties. To get a better idea of what they are looking for, the couple visits three properties that fit their budget.

The first house they visit is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom property located on the second floor of a condo complex. The view from the balcony is breathtaking, with the waves crashing just a few yards away. The interior of the house is updated with modern appliances, and the overall design is bright and inviting. The location is also great, as there are plenty of local restaurants and shops nearby. However, the couple notes that the property lacks outdoor space, which could be an issue for renters.

Next, they visit a two-bedroom, two-bathroom house that sits directly on the beach. The house boasts a large deck with plenty of space for entertaining, and the views are stunning. The interior of the house is cozy and well-maintained. However, the couple notes that the bedrooms are a bit small and that the property is located a bit farther from the restaurants and shops than they would like.

Finally, the couple tours a three-bedroom, three-bathroom house on the beach. The house has plenty of space, with two living rooms and a large balcony. The property also has a bonus room on the ground floor, which could be used as a gameroom or additional living space. The location is also convenient, with plenty of opportunities for dining, shopping, and other beach activities. However, the couple notes that the property needs some updating, which could be a turn-off for renters.

After touring the three properties, the couple discusses their options and weighs the pros and cons of each one. They ultimately make a decision and reveal their choice at the end of the episode.

Overall, "Finding Surfside Beach" is a fun and informative episode that provides viewers with an inside look at the beachfront property buying process. The couple is relatable, and their must-have list is reasonable, making it easy for viewers to imagine themselves in their shoes. The properties are all unique and offer different benefits, making it interesting to see which one the couple ultimately chooses.
