Les and Anita are a couple from Vancouver Island, Canada who are tired of the cold winters that the region brings. They have decided to start looking for a vacation home in Roatan Island, located in Honduras, in order to escape the winter months and enjoy a more relaxed and sunny lifestyle.
The episode begins with Les and Anita arriving in Roatan Island for the first time. They have some friends who own property on the island, and they are excited to explore the area and see what vacation homes are available. They have a budget of $500,000 CAD, which should be enough to find a nice property with some amenities.
The couple is looking for a place that is close to the beach, has plenty of outdoor space, and is located in a safe and secure neighborhood. They also want a place that they can rent out when they are not using it, in order to make some extra income.
The first property they look at is a two-bedroom condo located in West Bay. The condo is fully furnished and has a nice outdoor patio area, but it is located in a busy part of the island and may not be the quiet, peaceful retreat they are looking for. The couple likes the amenities that the complex offers, including a pool and a fitness center, but ultimately decide that the condo is not for them.
Next, Les and Anita look at a three-bedroom house that is located in Sandy Bay. The house has a large outdoor deck with an ocean view, and is surrounded by lush foliage for privacy. Inside, the house has all of the amenities the couple is looking for, including a large kitchen and plenty of storage space. However, the location of the house is not ideal, as it is located in an area that is prone to flooding during the rainy season. The couple decides that they don't want to take the risk of buying a property that could be susceptible to flooding, so they pass on this house as well.
The third property they look at is a brand new three-bedroom house that is located in West End. The house is fully furnished and has a large patio area that overlooks the ocean. The house has a modern design with all of the amenities the couple is looking for, including an open-concept living area and a large master suite. The house is also located in a gated community, which offers added security and peace of mind. The couple really likes this property and puts in an offer on the house.
Overall, Les and Anita are impressed with the quality of properties that they saw in Roatan Island. They realize that they may need to be flexible with their wish list in order to find a property that fits their budget, but they are confident that they will be able to find a vacation home that they love. The episode ends with the couple excitedly waiting to hear back from the seller of the third property they looked at, hoping that their offer is accepted.
