Ep 1. Fishing for a Fixer-Upper

Fishing for a Fixer-Upper is the first episode of the second season of Beachfront Bargain Hunt: Renovation. This episode follows a couple from Houston who are looking for a beachfront property in Galveston, Texas that they can renovate into their dream vacation home.

The couple, who are avid fishermen, have a budget of $130,000 for both the purchase of the property and the necessary renovations. They want a property that is close to the fishing pier and has a view of the water, but they also need it to be in a safe and quiet neighborhood so they can relax on their weekend getaways.

The episode begins with the couple meeting with real estate agent, Karen, who takes them to several properties in Galveston that fit their criteria. The first house they tour is a fixer-upper that is in need of some serious renovations. The couple likes the location and the size of the property, but they are hesitant to take on such a large renovation project.

Karen takes them to a couple of other properties, but they just don't have the charm and character that the couple is looking for. In the end, they decide to revisit the fixer-upper and make an offer. Karen negotiates with the seller and they are able to purchase the property for $98,000, leaving them with $32,000 for renovations.

Once they take ownership of the property, the couple gets to work on the renovations. They enlist the help of a contractor, who advises them on what improvements they should make to increase the value of the property. They decide to replace the outdated kitchen and add a second bathroom to the property. They also want to maintain the original charm of the property, so they decide to keep the original hardwood floors and molding.

The renovations take several weeks to complete, but when they are finished, the couple is thrilled with the results. The property now has a modern, open-concept kitchen and two full bathrooms. They are also able to add a deck to the back of the property that overlooks the water, perfect for relaxing after a long day of fishing.

In the end, the couple is able to stay within their budget and create the vacation home of their dreams. They are thrilled with the results and can't wait to spend many weekends fishing and relaxing in their new beachfront property.

Overall, Fishing for a Fixer Upper is a great episode that showcases the challenges and rewards of renovating a beachfront property. The couple's love of fishing and the water adds a unique element to the episode, and viewers will enjoy watching their journey to create their dream vacation home.
