Ep 16. Best on Barnegat Bay Island

Located on the eastern coast of New Jersey, Barnegat Bay Island is a popular vacation spot for tourists and locals alike. In this episode of Beachfront Bargain Hunt, a couple is on the hunt for the perfect beachfront property that won't break their bank. With a budget of $500,000, they hope to find a home that not only puts them right on the beach but also provides easy access to all the island has to offer.

The episode begins with the couple meeting their real estate agent, who takes them on a tour of their first beachfront property. The home has three bedrooms and plenty of space for entertaining with its open concept design. The couple is impressed with the views from the home's large windows and are excited about the potential for renting it out when they're not using it. However, the price tag of $600,000 puts it out of their budget range.

Next, the couple tours a more affordable option, a condo located a few blocks from the beach. While the condo has two bedrooms and an updated kitchen, the couple is disappointed with the lack of outdoor space and the fact that it's not directly on the beach. They also worry about the potential for noise from the nearby boardwalk. Despite the lower price tag of $350,000, the couple decides to keep looking.

In their third tour, the couple checks out a charming beach cottage located right on the bay. The cozy home has two bedrooms and a large deck that offers stunning sunset views over the water. Although the cottage needs some updates, the couple sees the potential and is impressed by the price of $450,000.

Finally, the couple tours their dream home, a large beachfront property with five bedrooms and plenty of outdoor space for entertaining. The home boasts a private beach, an outdoor shower, and even a hot tub. The couple falls in love with the home's gorgeous ocean views and are pleasantly surprised to find it within their budget at $475,000.

After much deliberation, the couple ultimately decides to purchase the charming beach cottage located on the bay. While it may require some updates, they believe its idyllic location and potential make it the best option for them. With their new beachfront property secured, the couple looks forward to many happy years spent enjoying all that Barnegat Bay Island has to offer.
