The family consists of Kendall and Justin, a young couple, their young son, and Kendall's mother, who is originally from Georgia and has always felt drawn to the ocean.

The episode begins with the family already on the island, exploring the different areas and neighborhoods, and meeting with real estate agent Ro Scarbrough to find their perfect home. Although Kendall and Justin are open to different areas of the island, Kendall's mother has her heart set on finding a home on the Hilo side of the island, where there is more rain and greenery.

Ro takes the family to multiple homes throughout the episode, including a large plantation-style home in Hilo that Kendall's mother immediately falls in love with.

However, Kendall's mother is disappointed in the lack of character and history in the home.

Throughout the episode, the family also takes part in Hawaii's unique cultural experiences, such as attending a lei-making class and joining in on a local hula performance. The family is shown embracing the spirit of aloha and the Hawaiian lifestyle, with Kendall's mother feeling especially connected to the traditions of the island.

As the episode comes to a close, the family decides to make an offer on the plantation-style home in Hilo that Kendall's mother fell in love with. They all come to the conclusion that the charm and character of the home, along with the location on the Hilo side of the island, make it the perfect fit for their family.
