Ep 8. Escaping to San Juan del Sur

In season 53 episode 8 of House Hunters International, entitled “Escaping to San Juan del Sur,” viewers are taken on a journey to the beautiful coastal town of San Juan del Sur, a popular destination for surfers and beachgoers in Nicaragua. The episode follows a young couple, Sarah and Dan, as they try to find the perfect home to escape their busy lives as lawyers in the United States.

Sarah and Dan are looking for a home that offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, with easy access to the beach, surf spots, and the local community. They have a budget of $250,000 and are hoping to find a home that is move-in ready, but are willing to do some renovations if necessary.

The couple’s first stop is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom house that is located just outside of town. The house is a bit smaller than what they were expecting, but it has a good-sized yard and a beautiful view of the ocean. The location is also ideal for surfers, as it is just a short drive to some of the best surf spots in the area.

Their second option is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home that is within walking distance to the beach and downtown San Juan del Sur. The house is spacious and has a large yard, but it is in need of some renovations, which could put them over budget.

Finally, Sarah and Dan visit a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house that is perched on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The house has a rustic feel to it, with wood accents and high ceilings, but it lacks some of the amenities that they are looking for, such as air conditioning and a pool.

Throughout their search, Sarah and Dan struggle to find a home that checks off all the boxes on their wish list. They weigh the pros and cons of each property, considering factors such as location, price, and potential for renovations. The couple also gets a taste of the local culture as they explore the town, try new foods, and meet some of their potential neighbors.

In the end, Sarah and Dan must make a tough decision about which property to choose. Will they go for the move-in-ready house with the ocean view but smaller size? Will they choose the fixer-upper that is walking distance to the beach but over budget? Or will they opt for the rustic hilltop home with stunning views but lacking some modern amenities? Viewers will have to tune in to find out which home the couple ultimately decides to call their own.
