With a budget of $350,000, the family hopes to find a spacious and comfortable home that is close to the beach as well as to all the amenities that the city has to offer.

The episode begins with the family meeting real estate agent and local expert, Mary Linthicum, who introduces them to the city of Fort Myers. Mary explains that Fort Myers is known as the "City of Palms" because of the large number of palm trees that line the streets and beaches. She also highlights some of the main attractions that the city has to offer, such as its lively downtown area, its shopping and dining options, and of course, its beautiful beaches.

After the initial introduction to the city, the family begins their search for their dream beachfront property. Their first stop is a condo that is located right on the beach. The unit has stunning ocean views, a spacious living area, and a well-appointed kitchen. The family is impressed with the property, but they are unsure if they want to live in a condo or in a single-family home.

Their next stop is a single-family home that is located a short distance from the beach. The house has a spacious layout, a large backyard, and is located in a quiet neighborhood. However, the family is disappointed that they cannot see the beach from the property and that it is not within walking distance.

The family continues to view a number of different properties over the course of the episode, each with their own pros and cons. They look at condos that are located in high-rise buildings, single-family homes that are close to the beach but need significant renovations, and properties that are in need of major repairs.

Throughout their search, Mary provides the family with valuable insights into the local real estate market and helps them to navigate the different options that are available to them. She also offers her opinion on each property and provides the family with valuable advice to help them make their decision.

At the end of the episode, the family must make a decision on which property to choose. They weigh the pros and cons of each property they have seen and consider their budget as well as their lifestyle and needs.
