In this particular episode, titled "Peaceful in Puerto Penasco," we follow a couple who is on the search for their perfect vacation home in Puerto Penasco, Mexico.

Puerto Penasco, also known as Rocky Point, is a tourist town located on the coast of the Sea of Cortez in Mexico. The couple, who are from Arizona, has been visiting Puerto Penasco for years and has finally decided to invest in a vacation home there. They are looking for a peaceful retreat where they can escape the hustle and bustle of their busy lives in the US.

The episode begins with the couple discussing their budget of $300,000 to $400,000 with their real estate agent, Arturo. They are hoping to find a home that is close to the beach, has at least three bedrooms, and a pool. The first home Arturo shows them is a two-bedroom condo with beautiful views of the ocean. While the home has a lot of potential, the couple ultimately decides it's too small, and they need more space.

The next home they view is a spacious three-bedroom villa located just steps away from the beach. The home comes with a private pool and outdoor kitchen, perfect for entertaining guests. While the couple loves the location and amenities, they are hesitant to make an offer as the home is a little over their budget.

The third home, a three-bedroom house located in a gated community, is a contender for the couple. It has a beautiful pool and is located in a quiet neighborhood, which is exactly what they were looking for. However, the house needs a little work, and while they are willing to put in the effort, they are not sure they want to deal with the extra headaches that come with renovating a home.

The couple quickly realize that finding their dream vacation home is not as easy as they had imagined. They begin to prioritize their must-haves and decide to view a few more properties before making a final decision.

Arturo takes them to a four-bedroom home that is perfect for entertaining. The home is large enough to accommodate their friends and family, and it has a beautiful outdoor pool and hot tub. The couple falls in love with the property, but they are hesitant again to make an offer as the property is above their budget.

After viewing several properties, the couple begins to realize that finding a perfect vacation home in Puerto Penasco may require some compromise. They revisit the third property, the three-bedroom house in the gated community, and decide that with a little bit of work, it could be their perfect peaceful retreat.

The episode ends with the couple making an offer on the third property, and Arturo helping them navigate the buying process. Ultimately, they are thrilled with their decision and look forward to spending many peaceful vacations in their new home.

Overall, "Peaceful in Puerto Penasco" is a captivating episode that showcases the ups and downs of finding a dream home in a foreign country.
