Ep 17. Bringing Up Baby in Ocean City, Maryland

Bringing Up Baby in Ocean City, Maryland is the 17th episode of season 11 of the hit HGTV series Beachfront Bargain Hunt. This episode follows a young family from Pennsylvania as they search for their dream vacation home on the shores of Ocean City, Maryland.

The episode begins with the family of three, Alex, Lauren, and their 2-year-old daughter Riley, arriving at the beach town ready to start their search. They are hoping to find a property that is close to the beach, as well as family-friendly, within their budget of $300,000.

The first property they visit is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo that is walking distance from the beach. The unit has a large living room and an updated kitchen, but it is smaller than they had hoped. The couple is also not excited about the outdated bathrooms and lack of a pool on the property.

The next property they tour is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo in a complex that has a pool and is only a block from the beach. The unit has a large balcony with a partial ocean view, which impresses the couple. However, the master bedroom is a bit too small for their liking, and the bathrooms need some updating.

Next up is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo that is right on the beach. The unit has stunning views and an updated kitchen, but the bedrooms are a bit smaller than they had hoped for. However, they are sold on the location and proximity to the ocean.

After touring several condos, the family decides to take a look at a single-family home. The house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, which provides ample space for their family. The property has a large backyard and a deck with a hot tub, making it perfect for entertaining guests. Although the home is not walking distance to the beach, it is only a short drive away.

The family finally comes to a decision and picks the single-family home. They love the spacious backyard and the added privacy that comes with owning a home rather than a condo. The house also has enough space to host large family gatherings, as well as room for their daughter to play.

The episode ends with the family settling into their new home and enjoying a day at the beach. They are excited to create new memories in their new vacation home and grateful for the opportunity to do so.

Overall, Bringing Up Baby in Ocean City, Maryland is a heartwarming episode that showcases a young family's journey to finding their dream vacation home. The episode highlights the importance of location, budget, and family-friendly amenities when searching for a beachfront property.
