House Hunters International Season 26 Episode 16 Soaking Up the Sun in San Juan, Puerto Rico

In season 26 of House Hunters International, episode 16 titled "Soaking Up the Sun in San Juan, Puerto Rico," viewers are taken on a journey to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico where we follow the house hunting process of a young couple, Mara and Isaac, as they search for the perfect home to start their new life together.

The episode kicks off with Mara and Isaac discussing their desire to leave the cold winters of Boston and move to a warmer climate where they can enjoy more outdoor activities while being closer to Mara's family in Puerto Rico. The couple has a budget of $350,000 and has enlisted the help of local realtor, Angela Diaz, to help them find their dream home.

The first house they visit is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo located in the trendy neighborhood of Condado. The building has a rooftop pool, gym, and 24-hour security, which are all big selling points for Mara and Isaac. The condo is also within walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants, and nightlife. It's clear that the couple is smitten with the condo, but the only downside is that it's at the top of their budget at $349,000.

Next up on the tour is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house in a more residential area of San Juan. The house has a lot of character with high vaulted ceilings and an outdoor patio area perfect for entertaining. However, the house needs some work and the couple is hesitant about taking on a renovation project before their upcoming wedding. The price tag of $299,000 is more within their budget, but Mara and Isaac can't seem to shake the idea that they may be biting off more than they can chew with this fixer-upper.

The third and final property is a luxurious two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo located in the heart of Old San Juan. The condo has stunning views of the ocean and the nearby El Morro fortress. The building is a historic Spanish colonial style home, which gives it a lot of character and charm, but it also means that the condo doesn't have as many modern amenities as the other properties. The price tag of $345,000 is close to the top of their budget, but Mara and Isaac can't help but feel like this property is too special to pass up.

Eventually, Mara and Isaac make their decision and almost immediately head to the beach to celebrate their new home. The decision they made was a surprise to realtor Angela Diaz, as it wasn't the property she expected they would choose. But ultimately the condo was within their budget, had a fantastic view, and was located in Old San Juan—a huge selling point for Mara. The couple is thrilled to finally be able to create memories in their new home and to enjoy a more relaxed and vibrant lifestyle in Puerto Rico.

Overall, "Soaking Up the Sun in San Juan, Puerto Rico" is a fantastic episode for any fans of House Hunters International looking to enjoy some beautiful scenery, learn about the real estate market in Puerto Rico, and share in the joy of a couple starting a new chapter in their lives.
