Ep 2. Moving In on Merritt Island

On this episode of Beachfront Bargain Hunt, we follow a family looking to make a move to paradise on Merritt Island. The family consists of a mother, father, and two young children. They have been dreaming of owning a beachfront property for years and have finally decided to take the plunge. They want a home with a stunning view of the ocean and easy access to the beach for their kids to play.

The real estate agent showing them around is a local expert named Nick. Nick has lived on Merritt Island his entire life and knows the ins and outs of the local property market. He shows the family three different homes that fit their criteria and are within their budget.

The first property is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo located on the third floor of a beachfront building. The condo has an open-plan living and dining area with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning ocean views. The bedrooms are both a good size and the master leads out to a balcony. The building has excellent amenities, including a pool, gym, and direct access to the beach. The family is impressed with the condo but hesitant about sharing walls with neighbors and the monthly HOA fees.

The second property is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse located a five-minute walk from the beach. The townhouse has a spacious living area with a fireplace and a kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The bedrooms are all upstairs and the master has an ensuite bathroom and a private balcony with ocean views. The townhouse has a private garage and a back patio area. While the family loves the location and the private feel, they feel the house needs some updating and renovation.

The third property is a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home with direct beach access. The home is single-story and has an open-plan living and dining area with vaulted ceilings and ocean views. The kitchen has been recently updated with new appliances and granite countertops. The bedrooms are all spacious and the master has an ensuite bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and a private balcony. The home also has a large backyard area with a deck and a screened-in porch. The family is blown away by the property and the stunning views, making the decision difficult.

After viewing all three properties, the family has a difficult decision to make. They love each property for different reasons but ultimately choose one that ticks all of their boxes. The family is excited to make the move onto Merritt Island and start their new life in paradise.
