Ep 11. From Ship to St. Maarten Condo

From Ship to St. Maarten Condo follows the story of a couple named Shannon and Jason who have been working on a cruise ship for the past five years and have finally decided to settle down on land. The episode starts with the couple explaining their love for traveling and how they have seen almost every part of the world through their work on the ship. However, they are now ready to have a place they can call home and have chosen the Caribbean island of St. Maarten as their destination.

The couple is shown visiting several properties on the island with the help of their real estate agent, who takes them to a variety of condos and apartments. Shannon and Jason have a budget of $400,000, and they make that clear from the start, which helps to narrow down their choices. The first property they view is a two-bedroom condo with an ocean view, but they find it too small for their liking. The second property is a three-bedroom condo with a pool, but it is further away from their jobs and not as close to the beach as they would like.

The couple's agent then takes them to a two-bedroom condo located on the Dutch side of the island. It has a balcony with an amazing ocean view and is located only 15 minutes away from their jobs. Shannon and Jason both love the condo, but they think it's too expensive. However, their agent suggests that they negotiate, and they agree to put in an offer.

The next property they visit is a three-bedroom condo in a gated community with a shared pool. It's located close to one of the best beaches on the island, and Shannon and Jason both love it. The condo is also within their budget, but they worry that it might be difficult to sell if they decide to move in the future.

The last property they visit is a two-bedroom condo in a resort-style complex. The amenities are top-notch, with a large pool, tennis courts, and a gym. The condo has a fantastic view of the harbor and is within their budget. Shannon and Jason both agree that it is their favorite property, but they worry that it might be too noisy and busy for their liking.

After viewing all of the properties, the couple has a difficult decision to make. They sit down with their agent and discuss each property in detail, weighing the pros and cons of each. They ultimately decide to put in an offer for the Dutch-side condo they viewed earlier, even though it's slightly above their budget. Their agent agrees to negotiate on their behalf, and they are thrilled when their offer is accepted.

In the end, Shannon and Jason are excited to have found their dream home on the beautiful island of St. Maarten. They comment on how much they enjoyed the process of house hunting and how grateful they are to have found their new home with the help of their agent. The episode ends with the couple settling into their new condo and enjoying the perks of island life.
