Island Life Season 9 Episode 2 Cast a Line on Oak Island

John and Lisa have always dreamed of owning a home on an island where they can relax and enjoy their favorite pastime - fishing. In this episode of Island Life, they take on the challenge of finding the perfect island home on Oak Island, North Carolina.

The couple, along with their real estate agent, begin their search by boat, exploring the various waterways and islands that make up the area. As they take in the stunning views and observe the local wildlife, they discuss their must-haves for a home on the island. John is looking for a place where he can dock his boat and have easy access to fishing, while Lisa wants a home that is spacious enough for their family to visit and with a waterfront view to enjoy.

Their first stop is a charming cottage with a large porch and a beautiful view of the Intracoastal Waterway. The home has a cozy, rustic feel with wood paneling and exposed beams, but it's not quite spacious enough to accommodate their large family. The location is ideal for fishing, but John and Lisa decide to keep looking for a home with more room for everyone.

Their next stop is a stunning waterfront home with a contemporary design and a private dock. The spacious home has a gourmet kitchen, high ceilings, and large windows that provide incredible views of the water. John is excited about the dock, which has plenty of space for his boat and offers convenient access to the ocean and fishing grounds. However, Lisa is not sold on the modern design and worries it may not be inviting enough for their family and friends.

Their final stop is a beautiful coastal home with a classic Cape Cod style. The home has a large wrap-around porch, perfect for enjoying the ocean breeze, and a spacious interior that has been recently renovated. The home also features a private dock and a large backyard with plenty of space for outdoor activities. John and Lisa are both impressed by the home's classic design and ample space, and they agree it's perfect for their family.

While John and Lisa love the home, the process of buying an island home can be complicated. Their real estate agent walks them through the process and explains some of the unique challenges that come with owning a property on an island, such as the cost of flood insurance and the need for a properly maintained septic system. She also advises them to consider a home inspection and to hire a local contractor who knows the area well.

After carefully weighing their options, John and Lisa decide to make an offer on the Cape Cod-style home. They work with their agent to negotiate a fair price and close the deal. The home will require some minor renovations, but they are excited to make it their own and enjoy their island paradise.

In the end, John and Lisa found their dream home on Oak Island, with easy access to fishing and plenty of space for their family. The joys of island living are within reach, and they can't wait to begin their new adventure.
