House Hunters International Season 29 Episode 65 Risky Early Retirement to Utila, Honduras

A couple from Colorado, USA, are ready for early retirement and are seeking a tropical paradise on the island of Utila in Honduras. After years of working long hours in the restaurant industry, Dan and Christine are ready to slow down and settle into beach life. However, their budget is tight and they're searching for a new home that fits their needs and allows them to retire comfortably.

Their real estate agent, Margot, shows them three properties that fit within their budget. Their first contender is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house with a pool, situated only a short walk from the beach. Dan and Christine love the open floor plan and large kitchen, but the house still requires some renovations to meet their needs.

The second property they view is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage in a quieter section of the island. While the property doesn't have a pool, the landscaping and proximity to the beach are just what they're looking for. However, the price is at the top of their budget and Christine is hesitant to commit to such a large expense.

Finally, they view a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house on a large property with beautiful ocean views. The house has plenty of space for entertaining guests and features a covered porch, perfect for enjoying the island's stunning sunsets. While the house is well above their initial budget, Dan and Christine can see themselves growing old in this home and are willing to stretch their finances to make it work.

As they weigh the pros and cons of each property and consider the financial risks, Dan and Christine must decide on their new home and take the leap into early retirement in paradise.
