In season 142 episode 4 of House Hunters International, titled "A Big Apple Escape to St. John," a couple from New York City is ready for a change of pace. With bustling city life taking its toll, they've set their sights on the tranquil island of St. John in the Caribbean.
The episode begins with the couple, Rachel and Matt, touring a small apartment in Manhattan. They quickly realize that the cost of living in the city is way too high and they're not getting enough space for the money they're paying. Rachel and Matt are both successful professionals and they're ready to invest in a property that will give them the space and relaxation they crave.
Their search leads them to St. John, where they meet real estate agent, Karen. Karen shows them a variety of properties, starting with a villa with stunning sea views. While the villa is certainly impressive, Rachel and Matt feel that it's a bit too grand for their needs. They're looking for something simpler - a place where they can relax and unwind without feeling overwhelmed.
Karen takes them to a cozy cottage next, nestled in the heart of the island. The cottage is surrounded by lush vegetation and boasts a charming outdoor living area. Rachel and Matt quickly fall in love with the place and imagine themselves spending lazy days lounging on the porch and reading books.
Despite their affection for the cottage, Karen insists on showing them another property before they make a decision. The final property is a fully-serviced condo with all the amenities - pool, gym, laundry facilities, and more. While Rachel and Matt are impressed with the luxuriousness of the condo, they ultimately feel that it's too similar to their life in Manhattan. They're looking for a true escape, not just a fancier version of what they already have.
After weighing their options, Rachel and Matt make an offer on the cottage and are thrilled to have it accepted. The episode ends with them settling into their new home, enjoying the peace and quiet of St. John. They've found the escape they were looking for and are excited to start this new chapter in their lives.
Overall, House Hunters International season 142 episode 4 is a wonderful reminder that sometimes a change of scenery is all it takes to find happiness. With St. John's idyllic charms and Karen's expert guidance, Rachel and Matt were able to find the perfect place to call home.
