Ep 4. Houston, We Have a Problem

In the seventh season, episode four of Hawaii Life, viewers are taken on a journey to the beautiful island of Hawaii to witness the real estate buying process of several couples. The couples are shown houses that are on the market and have the chance to fall in love with these properties or dismiss them as unsuitable for their needs. The episode is titled Houston, We Have a Problem, and as the title suggests, one of the couples hail from Houston, Texas.

The episode introduces viewers to a young couple, Jimmy and Kourtney, who are parents to a young daughter. They wish to move to Hawaii to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings and tropical climate. The couple currently lives in Houston, where the hustle and bustle of the city has them yearning for a more laid-back lifestyle. The couple wishes to raise their daughter in a more peaceful, idyllic setting.

The episode takes the viewers on a virtual tour of the island with the couple looking for a perfect home. What makes the episode more intriguing is that the couple doesn't have a set budget. Instead, they are looking for a home that ticks all their requirements, including location, amenities, and square footage. The couple is shown several properties, each with its unique features and flaws.

The first house they are shown is a charming three-bedroom, three-bathroom thatched roof home located in lush green surroundings that boasts a beautiful ocean view. The house has a lot of charm and style, but Jimmy and Kourtney quickly discover that it needs some significant renovation works. Demolishing walls and changing the home's layout can prove to be costly, but the couple feels as though the home would be worth it.

The couple also views an oceanfront condo in the Diamond Head area of the island. The condo is spacious, with beautiful views of the ocean and has been recently updated by the previous owners, making it an ideal living space for the family. Its central location also makes it an attractive option for the couple's daily commute.

Jimmy and Kourtney are also shown a beautiful, modern, and minimalist house that boasts a high-end finish. The home has an open floor plan, with large glass windows and doors, allowing for an abundance of natural light to flood the home. The house also has an infinity pool and an outdoor kitchen, making it the perfect entertaining home. While it seems like the home would suit their needs, the couple is not entirely sure that it provides the right atmosphere.

In their search for a dream home, Jimmy and Kourtney are also taken to an equestrian ranch set in the rolling hills of the North Shore. The property features a four-bedroom house, a large stable area, and is perfect for anyone searching for a ranch-style living. The house has an expansive living space that flows seamlessly and an abundance of outdoor space that would be perfect for their daughter to play in.

Finally, the couple is shown a beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood in Honolulu. This charming family home has a lot of curb appeal, with a distinctive style that stands out on the block. The home has a generous floor plan, three bedrooms, and ample outdoor space, including an outdoor dining area, perfect for entertaining friends and family.

Throughout the episode, viewers see the couple weigh their options carefully and take time to decide which house is best suited to their needs. Whether it's a spacious oceanfront condo or a charming family home, the couple slowly builds an idea of what their perfect home would look like.

In the end, Hawaii Life season 7 episode 4 teaches viewers the importance of taking time to find the ideal home. It's a decision that should be made based on personal preference and lifestyle choices. The episode displays the beauty of the island and the unequaled lifestyle that comes with living on Hawaii.
