Ep 6. Bound to Buy in 'Bama

In this episode of Beachfront Bargain Hunt, a couple from Tennessee visits Alabama's Gulf Coast in search of a vacation home that they can also rent out to other families for extra income. With a budget of $350,000, they are hoping to find a home with plenty of space for themselves and their children, as well as a great location that will appeal to renters.

The couple's real estate agent has several properties lined up for them to see, each with unique features and potential drawbacks. Their first stop is a three-bedroom condo with ocean views and plenty of amenities, including a pool and private beach access. However, the location is not ideal for renting out, as it is somewhat remote and may be difficult for potential guests to find.

Next, the couple visits a four-bedroom house that is situated closer to the main tourist areas and has plenty of space for their family to spread out. The house also has a large backyard and plenty of outdoor living space. However, the layout of the house is somewhat unusual, with rooms that don't flow well and a kitchen that is on a different level from the living and dining areas.

The couple's third option is a five-bedroom house with plenty of character and charm. The house has a wraparound porch and a spacious yard, as well as a convenient location that is close to restaurants, shops, and other attractions. However, the house is also quite old and may require more maintenance and updates than the couple is comfortable with.

Throughout the episode, the couple weighs the pros and cons of each property and struggles to settle on a clear frontrunner. They consider factors like proximity to the beach, potential rental income, and the overall condition of each property. Ultimately, they will have to make a tough decision about which house is the best fit for their family and their budget.

As the episode comes to a close, the couple makes their final decision and puts in an offer on one of the properties. Viewers are left wondering which house they chose and how they plan to make it their own. With beautiful views, sunny beaches, and plenty of adventure, this episode of Beachfront Bargain Hunt is sure to inspire viewers to plan their own Gulf Coast getaway.
