Ep 9. Oceanfront Oasis

After months of searching, a family has finally found their dream home on the oceanfront in Carolina Beach, North Carolina. However, the property needs a major renovation to turn it into their ideal vacation getaway. In this episode of Beachfront Bargain Hunt: Renovation, the family works with their contractor to create an "Oceanfront Oasis" that they can enjoy for years to come.

The episode starts with the family touring their new property and discussing their plans with the contractor. The property is in need of updates to the kitchen, living room, and bedrooms as well as some structural work to the deck and supports. The family has a clear vision in mind for their renovation and is excited to get started.

The first step in the renovation process is to address the structural issues. The contractor brings in a team to reinforce the deck and support beams to ensure that the property is safe and sturdy. Next, the family focuses on the living area, which they envision as an open concept space with plenty of seating for the whole family. The kitchen needs to be updated with new cabinets, countertops, and appliances, and the family decides to install new hardwood floors throughout the space.

One of the biggest challenges of the renovation is working within a tight budget. The family is dedicated to keeping costs low, while still achieving their vision of an oceanfront oasis. The contractor helps them find affordable options for materials and appliances without sacrificing quality or style.

The family also faces some design challenges along the way, such as how to incorporate their love of bright colors into the beachy aesthetic. With the help of their contractor, they find ways to incorporate bold accent colors into their decor while still maintaining a relaxed, beachy vibe.

As the renovation progresses, the family tackles the bedrooms, transforming them into cozy retreats for their guests. One bedroom is converted into a bunk room for the kids, complete with built-in bunk beds that maximize space and add a fun and unique touch to the room. The master bedroom is updated with a new ensuite bathroom and a private balcony with stunning views of the ocean.

Throughout the renovation process, the family faces setbacks and challenges but remains committed to their vision of an oceanfront oasis. They work closely with their contractor, making decisions on everything from paint colors to light fixtures and countertop materials.

Finally, the renovation is complete, and the family has created their dream vacation home. The living room features comfortable seating for the whole family, with a sectional sofa and cozy armchairs. The kitchen is modern and bright, with white cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The bedrooms are comfortable and inviting, with plenty of natural light and ocean views.

As the family enjoys their newly renovated home, they reflect on the challenges and joys of the renovation process. They feel proud of what they have accomplished, and are grateful for the support of their contractor and the team. With their oceanfront oasis complete, they look forward to many years of making memories with friends and family on the beach.
