In season 13, episode 6 of House Hunters International, titled "Ohioans Head Back to St. Croix," viewers are taken on a journey with buyers Susan and Andy as they search for their ideal vacation home in St. Croix. The couple has visited the island many times and has finally decided to take the plunge and purchase their own slice of paradise.
As the episode begins, viewers are introduced to Susan and Andy, a couple originally from Ohio who are now living in Puerto Rico. They've been visiting St. Croix for over a decade, and have fallen in love with the island's relaxed vibe, beautiful beaches, and friendly locals. They've decided that it's time to make their dream of owning a second home on St. Croix a reality.
The couple has a budget of $500,000 and is looking for a home with at least two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and plenty of outdoor space. They're hoping to find a property with a pool and some ocean views, but are open to different neighborhoods and styles of home. Their wish list also includes a guest suite for visiting friends and family, as well as a garage to house their Jeep.
As they start their search, Susan and Andy are shown a range of properties, each with its own unique features. One home they consider is a beautiful oceanfront villa, complete with a private pool and stunning views. While they love the location and amenities, they're concerned about the maintenance required for a property right on the water.
Another option is a hillside home with a gorgeous view of the Caribbean Sea. The house has a spacious deck with an outdoor kitchen, perfect for entertaining, but the couple is worried about the steep driveway and the amount of work required to maintain the home's lush landscaping.
Throughout the episode, viewers are given a glimpse into the couple's life and what they hope to get out of their vacation home. They talk about the importance of having a place where they can escape the stresses of everyday life and enjoy some quality time together. They also discuss the joy of having a space where they can host friends and family, and how much they love the community and culture of St. Croix.
After seeing several properties and weighing the pros and cons of each, Susan and Andy ultimately make a decision that is sure to please viewers. While the final choice is not revealed, the house they choose meets all of their requirements and more, and they are thrilled to have found a place to call their own on their favorite island.
Overall, House Hunters International season 13 episode 6 provides an entertaining and informative look at the process of buying a vacation home in St. Croix.
