A Tail of Alligator Point is the tenth episode of the ninth season of Beachfront Bargain Hunt. In this episode, prospective homebuyers, Megan and John, are in the market for a beachfront property in Alligator Point, Florida. Alligator Point is a serene coastal town that is known for having one of the state's most pristine beaches.
Megan and John are both veterinarians who are looking for a beachfront retreat to escape the hustle and bustle of their busy lives. They have always dreamed of having a place where they can relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of nature. Megan loves the ocean while John enjoys fishing. Alligator Point is the perfect location for them as it offers both ocean views and excellent fishing spots.
The episode begins with Megan and John meeting with their real estate agent, Chip. Chip briefs them about the local real estate market and shows them three properties that fit their budget of $350,000.
The first property they view is a two-bedroom, two-bath condo that is situated right on the beach. The condo has an unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico and an open floor plan that allows for lots of natural light. The condo is priced at $325,000, which falls well within their budget. However, Megan and John are hesitant about the size of the bedrooms and the fact that the condo is located on the third floor. They worry that it may not be ideal for their elderly parents.
The second property they view is a three-bedroom, two-bath house that is situated on a canal in Alligator Point. The house has a dock where John can keep his boat and good access to fishing spots. The house also has a large deck that overlooks the canal, which would be perfect for entertaining guests. However, the house is priced at $400,000, which is over their budget.
The third and final property they view is a two-bedroom, three-bath house that is located on a natural lagoon. The house has a private courtyard, a screened-in porch, and an observation deck with panoramic views of the lagoon. The house is priced at $345,000, which is within their budget. Megan and John are impressed by the house's unique architecture and the fact that it offers privacy and seclusion. However, they worry about the steep stairs that lead down to the lagoon, which could be a problem for their elderly parents.
After viewing all three properties, Megan and John weigh their options and decide to make an offer on the second property, the three-bedroom house on the canal. They love the house's proximity to the water and the fact that it offers ample space for entertaining guests. Chip helps them negotiate the price down to $375,000, which is still slightly over their budget, but they manage to make it work.
In the end, Megan and John are ecstatic about their new beachfront property in Alligator Point. They can't wait to spend time fishing, lounging on the beach, and enjoying some much-needed relaxation. The episode ends with Megan and John sitting on their dock, watching the sunset and feeling grateful for their new slice of paradise.
