House Hunters International Season 133 Episode 2 A Home Away in Panama

Jane and Michael are searching for a new home in Panama after living in the United States for many years. With retirement on the horizon, they hope to find a peaceful retreat where they can enjoy the warm weather and the relaxed lifestyle of the Central American country.

Their budget is $300,000, and they hope to find a property that is close to the beach, as they love swimming and watersports. They also want a home that has plenty of natural light and outdoor space, so they can take in the stunning views of the ocean and the surrounding mountains.

The couple's realtor, Roberto, shows them three properties that fit their criteria. The first property is a modern condo located in the popular town of Casco Viejo. The condo features high ceilings, an open floor plan, and a large balcony with views of the city skyline. Although the condo is not right on the beach, it is only a short drive away. Jane and Michael are impressed by the condo's sleek design, but they worry that the noise and crowds of the town might be a bit overwhelming for their tastes.

The second property is a spacious villa located just outside the city of Coronado. The villa has plenty of outdoor space, including a pool and a large patio area, and is surrounded by lush foliage and fruit trees. The interior of the villa is decorated in a traditional Panamanian style, with colorful tiles and brick accents throughout. Jane and Michael are taken with the villa's peaceful setting, but they worry that it is too far from the beach for their liking.

The third property is a beachfront bungalow located in the small town of San Carlos. The bungalow has a rustic charm, with wood paneling and a thatched roof, and sits right on a wide stretch of sandy beach. Jane and Michael are thrilled with the bungalow's stunning views, but they worry that the home might be too small and lack modern amenities like air conditioning.

After viewing all three properties, Jane and Michael must decide which one is the best fit for them. Roberto emphasizes that each home has its own unique charm and that they should choose the property that speaks to their hearts. In the end, Jane and Michael make a decision that surprises both themselves and Roberto, but ultimately feels like the perfect choice for them.

With stunning vistas, warm breezes, and a laid-back atmosphere, Jane and Michael's new Panamanian home is sure to be a tranquil haven for the couple's retirement years. As they settle into their new life abroad, they look forward to exploring the country's rich culture, history, and cuisine, and soaking up all the beauty that Panama has to offer.
