00:01Think you need to break the bank to live by the beach?
00:04Luxury is a mindset, not a price tag.
00:07Think again.
00:09Finding a cheap beach house is actually very possible.
00:12This is a great price with those views.
00:15We got the most affordable house with the most amount of space.
00:18Do you have anything maybe a little cheaper?
00:21These buyers are chasing coastal dreams on tight budgets.
00:25This is cheap-ass beach houses where smart money meets beautiful ocean views.
00:46Nice pin on it.
00:49And the crowd goes wild.
00:52That scoring pass was brought to you by Andre and Aaliyah.
00:56They're a dynamic father-daughter duo looking for that beach life in the oldest city in America, St. Augustine, Florida.
01:05My name is Aaliyah and I am a tech in the ER.
01:08My name is Andre.
01:09I work for Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department.
01:12My day-to-day as a firefighter is hectic.
01:15We start at 7 a.m. and we get off at 7 a.m. the following morning.
01:19Honestly, what really inspired me was going to the fire station a lot with my dad as a little girl.
01:24The first time I took her, I made her go.
01:28But every time after that, she wanted to go.
01:30Hanging around the firefighters, going on calls with them.
01:34I would stay in the truck, but just seeing the urgency and the need for them.
01:39I didn't know I was making that kind of impression on her, but I'm glad I did.
01:42My dad has always been the person to put himself last and put everyone else first.
01:49Oh, this makes me, oh my God.
01:55Oh, it makes me so emotional.
01:57My dad is definitely someone that makes sure that everyone around him is taken care of.
02:03That type of love is a love that you don't get from anybody else.
02:08After a lifetime of service to others, if anyone deserves an affordable seaside sanctuary, it's this pair of literal lifesavers.
02:17You know, it's actually really cool, though, because I never thought, like, having a beach house, like, what?
02:24Yeah.
02:25Like, seriously? And I don't have to pay for it?
02:28The more and more you talk about this beach house, the more and more I think you're going to be paying half the mortgage.
02:33Is anybody else around here?
02:38Honestly, I'm excited for the day.
02:40Like, time will come.
02:42But when I have children and I'm like, oh, my God, we can go to Pop Pop's Beach House or we can hang out.
02:47And it will be something that we keep all the time.
02:49And, you know, he'll be the rich grandpa.
02:54Jacksonville may be their home now, but they've set their hearts on St. Augustine, Florida.
03:01And while only an hour away, these cities are worlds apart.
03:05I'm excited.
03:06We're going to go look.
03:07I know you'll give me your honest opinion.
03:09I was going to say, how honest do you want me to be?
03:11A hundred percent honest.
03:12A hundred percent.
03:13Okay.
03:14And let's do this.
03:16Be careful what you wish for.
03:17Buying a cheap beachside home for Andre to retire to and a legacy Aaliyah can one day pass down is no small task.
03:26It's going to take a sharp-eyed local who knows these shores inside and out.
03:31And that's where real estate queen Kiara comes in.
03:35My name is Kiara Nicolette.
03:37Oh, my gosh.
03:38This ocean is doing me a disservice with this hair.
03:42I got involved in real estate when I was looking for my own house here in St. Augustine Beach.
03:47It was a very impossible price at a very impossible time in a very impossible market.
03:52I knew that I needed an agent who was going to be aggressive and I couldn't find that.
03:57So I said, I need to become that.
03:59The most beautiful thing about our city is that we have this stunning downtown.
04:03You feel like you're walking through Italy when you're walking through it.
04:06Stunning restaurants, shops.
04:08You go over the bridge and you are close to some of the most stunning beaches in Florida.
04:13St. Augustine is such a paradise for people to come visit and see.
04:16You can go to the beach, enjoy surfing, fishing, restaurants.
04:20There's so much to do in the great city of St. Augustine.
04:22It's absolutely a stunning place to visit, but also a great place to call home.
04:28What houses are we thinking?
04:30What areas are we thinking?
04:31What are we looking for?
04:33So we're thinking more beachy, St. Augustine area.
04:36When you say beachy, do you mean like in front of the beach, walking to the beach?
04:41Both.
04:42Preferably on the beach.
04:43Okay.
04:44Okay.
04:45Two bedroom, at least two bathrooms.
04:47Square footage, maybe about 1500 square feet.
04:49Okay.
04:50I don't want to do the remodeling thing.
04:52Okay.
04:53So no renos.
04:54You're busy.
04:55You're saving lives every day.
04:56You can't do that.
04:57Okay.
04:58How about outdoor space?
05:00The outdoor space hopefully has a outdoor kitchen.
05:04Yeah.
05:05Okay.
05:06Yeah, we love cooking outside.
05:07You love to grill?
05:08Yeah.
05:09Okay, okay.
05:10If there is a soaking tub, lots of sunlight.
05:13Yeah.
05:14What is the maximum you're willing to spend?
05:16Ideally, I would like to stay around 425.
05:19Okay.
05:20But if it's really, really something we like and we want, 500 will be the max.
05:26500 absolute max.
05:27Absolute max.
05:28Okay.
05:29So it's a couple more shifts, you know?
05:30As long as she gets to come relax, we're good.
05:35And as Andre downs that mimosa, it's time for this trio to get down to the business of finding that cheap seaside sanctuary on the shore.
05:46I'm really excited for you guys to see this one.
05:48Okay.
05:49I think it's going to be a great option, but check out this view.
05:52This is prime real estate.
05:55Wow.
05:56Oh, my God.
05:57This is amazing.
05:58Yeah.
05:59Oh, wow.
06:00This is what I worked 20 years for.
06:01That part.
06:02Exactly.
06:03Literally.
06:04Right in between St. Augustine Beach and Crescent Beach.
06:06So you're kind of getting a middle of both, which is awesome because this is more of a quieter beach.
06:11Actually, this is a two bedroom, two bath, 1240 square feet.
06:16This is listed at $489,000.
06:19Kiara must have pulled some heavy strings to get that price in this area.
06:25Also has two balconies and some amenities that I really need you guys to see.
06:29I'm going to let you guys go check out the condo and then we'll meet right back at the pool.
06:33How does that sound?
06:34Okay.
06:35Perfect.
06:36Like, look at this walk.
06:37We're like 50 feet away.
06:38Yeah.
06:39Okay.
06:40I can get down.
06:41Oh, this is nice.
06:46Very modern.
06:47No remodeling.
06:48That's always a plus.
06:50The living room is a little tight though.
06:53Yeah.
06:54I expect it to be a little bit bigger.
06:56I like the kitchen area.
06:58I like this like island part here.
07:00Okay.
07:01Let's do some role playing there now.
07:03I'm here at the dinner table.
07:06Why thank you, sir.
07:07Uh huh.
07:08Now go do what you do best.
07:09Hey.
07:11This kitchen is a little bit tight.
07:13It does look a little tight.
07:14I like how it even like extends out to this like little bar area.
07:17Oh, there you go.
07:18That's your little seat to watch me.
07:20You keep me company.
07:21Let me pull the chair up.
07:23There you go.
07:24Perfect.
07:25Here you go, sous chef.
07:26I have your coffee.
07:27I have my coffee.
07:29You know you like coffee and wine, so.
07:32Mimosas.
07:33Less orange juice, more champagne, please.
07:37Coffee in the left hand, mimosas in the right.
07:40Aaliyah is all about balance.
07:43I want to see this view.
07:44All I want is.
07:45Oh, wow.
07:46View.
07:47To be able to come out here, holy moly.
07:52Have your morning coffee, just relax.
07:55I love this.
07:56This is great.
07:57But I do notice something.
07:58I don't see a grill.
07:59How do you feel about that?
08:01I wanted that grill, but this view is amazing.
08:05I will say it is.
08:06Maybe I'll buy a George Foreman grill.
08:08What is that?
08:09I don't even know what that is.
08:13This is like the first.
08:14I can only imagine the rest of them.
08:16This is so nice.
08:17I'm not sure if I want to imagine the rest of them.
08:18Let's just put a offer on this one.
08:20No.
08:21You don't even know what the rooms look like.
08:22What if we were like in a little box?
08:24For this view, I'll deal with a little box.
08:27Okay.
08:28Well, good thing the hat, it's not just about you.
08:30Looks like Aaliyah is going to have to be the strong one
08:33to keep her hero father's feet on the ground.
08:39These two are going to have to meet in the middle before they can buy this or any affordable beach house.
08:54I like this view.
08:55I like how we're starting, but we don't even know what the rest of the house looks like.
08:58So let's see upstairs because I'm ready to see that.
09:03You sure you can walk up these stairs all day?
09:05Hey, easy.
09:07I know them joints getting a little old.
09:10I like the flooring.
09:12It makes it a lot brighter.
09:14It does.
09:15Ooh.
09:16I like this room, but I really like this.
09:20This balcony is awesome.
09:23The sun sets on this side, right?
09:26Rising east sets in the west.
09:28So that's right?
09:29That's right.
09:30I don't know directions.
09:32I like it because it doesn't seem like there's really a lot to do.
09:37I am allergic to renovations.
09:38Are you?
09:39Are you just getting old?
09:40Be careful, Aaliyah.
09:41Old age comes for us all.
09:43Except for me, of course.
09:45I'll be young forever.
09:47Okay.
09:48Well, this gives main room vibes.
09:50Well, it's bigger, but it doesn't have a balcony.
09:52This is true.
09:53But...
09:54Oh, uh-uh.
09:56That ain't gonna work, sir.
09:58Oh, wash and dry in the main bedroom?
10:01Kiara said there was a walk-in closet, but I think she meant a walk-in laundromat.
10:07But you get this view.
10:09The things that we don't like.
10:10It's like, but the view.
10:12But the view.
10:13But the ocean.
10:14It's right there.
10:15The wash and dry in the bedroom.
10:16But the view.
10:17Yeah, I love all the flowers.
10:21I know, it's like resort style, but like...
10:24Hi!
10:25Hi!
10:26What'd you guys think?
10:27We really like the views.
10:28We're in love with the views.
10:29Yep.
10:30It's a little tight.
10:31Yep.
10:32Being in the kitchen, it was a little tight.
10:34I'm a pretty big guy, and I need some space.
10:36Also, I was not a fan of that washer and dryer in the bedroom.
10:41Oh, no!
10:42I was like, this is awkward.
10:45I was looking for a grill, and I gotta be honest with you.
10:48Right.
10:49I was a little disappointed I didn't see them.
10:50Okay.
10:51I actually have something right around the corner with a little bit more space.
10:54I think you guys would really appreciate.
10:55Oh, perfect.
10:56I'm ready to see.
10:57Let's go!
10:58I was ready to write a check when I saw that view.
11:00I'm not gonna lie.
11:01Okay.
11:02Stop me if you've heard this one before.
11:07A firefighter, a nurse, and a real estate agent walk up to an affordable home near a beach,
11:12and the agent says...
11:13I'm gonna be taking Andre and Aaliyah over to Vilano Beach.
11:16It's a little bit more quiet.
11:17The great thing about Vilano Beach is that you are still close to everything that downtown and St. Austin Beach has to offer.
11:23You're really just a bridge away, but you do get the relaxation and a beautiful lifestyle here.
11:28Okay.
11:29Not bad.
11:30I like it from the outside.
11:31Hi!
11:32Hi!
11:33Welcome!
11:34I think you guys are really gonna love this one.
11:35This is the Marsh View condo.
11:36Two bed, two bath.
11:37This is listed at $389,000.
11:38Yeah.
11:39I love the location, but where's the beach?
11:40Where's the amenity?
11:41Where's the pool?
11:42The beach is right there.
11:43I know we don't see it, but it's right there.
11:59Let's go check it out.
12:00Okay, perfect.
12:01Wow.
12:02Nice.
12:03Yes.
12:04I like it.
12:05Yes.
12:06Okay.
12:07Come through the open layout.
12:08I love this already.
12:09Right here.
12:10Kitchen has great new appliances.
12:12And he doesn't seem like he's too big for the kitchen.
12:16Correct.
12:17Correct.
12:18But what is up with St. Augustine and these washer and dryers in these random places?
12:23I know.
12:24However, this one I feel like you can close off.
12:26This is true.
12:27And you can multitask.
12:28This is true.
12:29Washing dishes, washing clothes, all the same.
12:31You know what I mean?
12:32And right through here is the guest bedroom and guest bath.
12:36I love this color on these cabinets.
12:39I would have never thought to paint at that.
12:41So beautiful.
12:42And a tub.
12:43There's a tub.
12:44There is a tub.
12:45Okay.
12:46I can dig it.
12:47The high ceilings.
12:48We love that.
12:49I immediately looked up.
12:50Right?
12:51We love about the ceilings.
12:52That is nice.
12:53Look at all the space.
12:54And everything in here is updated.
12:55Even a ceiling fan.
12:56Yeah.
12:57It looks so bright.
12:58The main space is absolutely stunning.
12:59I feel like you could have so many parties here.
13:00Does all of the furniture come with the home?
13:01It does not come with the home.
13:02However, we can negotiate it into the deal.
13:03Okay.
13:04I'm gonna have you guys go check out the upstairs.
13:05Okay.
13:06And I'm gonna meet you in the backyard.
13:07Okay.
13:08Sounds good.
13:09Perfect.
13:10More palm trees.
13:11I know.
13:12I love it.
13:13More palm trees.
13:14I love this.
13:15And another surfboard.
13:16This is awesome.
13:17This is a very big bedroom.
13:18Yeah.
13:19No for sure.
13:20I'm gonna have you guys go check out the upstairs.
13:21Does all of the furniture come with the home?
13:23It does not come with the home.
13:24However, we can negotiate it into the deal.
13:26Okay.
13:27I'm gonna have you guys go check out the upstairs.
13:28Okay.
13:29And I'm gonna meet you in the backyard.
13:31Okay.
13:32Perfect.
13:33Sounds good.
13:34More palm trees.
13:35I know.
13:36I love it.
13:37I know for sure.
13:38Let's look at the bathroom.
13:40I love the countertop here.
13:42The sink.
13:43This is really cute.
13:44Yeah.
13:45Very modern.
13:46The closet, not so much.
13:47What is this?
13:48This is a closet?
13:49Yeah.
13:50It's very small.
13:51I love the tile in the bathroom.
13:54And this lighting.
13:57Yeah.
13:58That's really nice.
13:59I love the lighting.
14:01But once again, what we missing Andre?
14:05The beach.
14:06The beach.
14:07Amenities.
14:08Pool.
14:09Pokéball.
14:10Tennis.
14:11Oh my God.
14:12Why are you making this list so long?
14:22Kiara has brought Andre and Aaliyah to the Marsh View house where Aaliyah has been swooning over the space and design elements.
14:29But where's the beach?
14:30Let's see this backyard.
14:31This is nice.
14:32I like this brown flooring here.
14:33Yeah.
14:34I like this little turf area.
14:35I don't know if I'll be playing soccer on it, but it's nice.
14:36Hi.
14:37What do we think?
14:38I liked it.
14:39Okay.
14:40I really do like it.
14:41I think it's big enough for all of us to come and hang out as a family.
14:45The bathroom upstairs is really small.
14:46A little small.
14:47Bathroom and the closet is really small.
14:48And the closet as well.
14:49My main concern is where's the beach?
14:50Where's the beach?
14:51That's what I said.
14:52Now reminder, this is only $389,000.
14:56You are not going to find anything for that price this close to the beach.
14:57Okay, I think we're getting closer though.
14:58Yes we are.
14:59We are definitely getting closer.
15:00While the beach may be only a few minutes away from the Marsh View house, Andre wants
15:03front row seats to the Seabreeze Symphony.
15:04And the beach is a little small.
15:05A little small.
15:06A little small.
15:07Bathroom and the closet is really small.
15:08A little small.
15:09Bathroom and the closet is really small.
15:10Yes.
15:11And the closet as well.
15:12My main concern is where's the beach?
15:13Where's the beach?
15:14That's what I said.
15:15Now reminder, this is only $389,000.
15:18You are not going to find anything for that price this close to the beach.
15:21Okay, I think we're getting closer though.
15:22We are definitely getting closer.
15:23Andre wants front row seats to the Seabreeze Symphony.
15:29Well this is more bougie than I was expecting.
15:31We got a gate.
15:35I really wanted to bring you guys here mainly because it's oceanfront.
15:39Plus it has all the amenities as well.
15:41This is Anastasia condo.
15:43It's a two bedroom, two bath, 1,200 square feet with amazing amenities.
15:48This one does have the pickleball courts, the tennis courts.
15:50Really?
15:51Wow.
15:52We do have a grill station for this one.
15:53The nice thing about this condo is that it's ground floor units.
15:56So you can open your door and you have access directly to the beach, which is awesome and
16:01also great for dad as he, you know.
16:03Wait a minute.
16:04What's he trying to say?
16:05No stairs to walk down.
16:06No stairs to walk down.
16:07No stairs always applies.
16:08Resale value.
16:09Yeah, yeah.
16:10Resale value.
16:11Yeah.
16:12Come right on in.
16:13This is the pool right here.
16:14Thank you, thank you.
16:15Wow.
16:16Nice.
16:17This is nice.
16:18This is listed at $450,000.
16:19This is well under that $500,000, which is why I really wanted you guys to see this one.
16:24I'm gonna have you guys go check out the condo and then we'll meet right at the beach.
16:25Perfect.
16:26Perfect.
16:27Okay, let's go.
16:28Let's see what the space is.
16:29Exciting.
16:30Okay.
16:31This space is really big.
16:32Let's check out this kitchen real fast.
16:33It is a lot more roomy already.
16:34Definitely.
16:35I know I can get what I need to get done.
16:36This is more spacious.
16:37Oh, Lord.
16:38Here we go with these washers and dryers.
16:39All right.
16:40Here we go.
16:41Oh, I'm gonna have you guys go check out the condo and then we'll meet right at the beach.
16:44Perfect.
16:45Perfect.
16:46Okay, let's go.
16:47Let's see what the space is.
16:48Exciting.
16:49Okay.
16:50The space is really big.
16:51Let's check out this kitchen real fast.
16:52It is a lot more roomy already.
16:53Oh, definitely.
16:54I know I can get what I need to get done.
16:55This is more spacious.
16:58I knew you were gonna love this.
17:00Lord.
17:01Well, well, well.
17:02Looks like we've come full cycle.
17:05I do like this dining area space.
17:07And it's open, so you can actually have people hanging out in the living room.
17:10This is very true.
17:11Now, what is this?
17:13Whoa.
17:14What the hell, Yonte?
17:15Oh, my God.
17:16What the Holly Berry, okay?
17:19It looks like they changed their mind.
17:21They're like halfway through like, maybe we don't want a patio.
17:24Beach views, here we come.
17:26All right.
17:28I hear it.
17:30I feel it.
17:31But where is it?
17:33Where's Waldo?
17:35I guess you gotta like, walk down this path here.
17:38Yeah.
17:39All right.
17:40Well, let's go explore a little bit more.
17:43Obviously, this is the main bedroom.
17:45I mean, it's a bigger bedroom.
17:47It's just a little bit outdated.
17:49Yeah.
17:50This is more of a project.
17:51I don't think we were looking for a project.
17:53No.
17:54I do want to see this fresh room.
17:56I'm not a big fan of this color.
17:58And then straight across is the rim.
18:02Wow.
18:03This is a nice space.
18:05Double bed, so that gives us more occupancy.
18:08That's nice.
18:09People can spend the night.
18:10This is true.
18:11I see it has like this little patio area, but this is...
18:16That's where we came in at.
18:17That's the front door.
18:18Kind of strange.
18:19If we can...
18:20Okay.
18:21Maybe not like that.
18:22Whip it this way.
18:24Oh.
18:25You know what?
18:26I think it's time to find Kiara by that beach.
18:29Okay.
18:30When opportunity knocks, you say, go around to the side.
18:35I'll let you in through the garage.
18:44Hi.
18:45What do we think?
18:47I was a little skeptical at first, but now I see why you bought us.
18:50Right?
18:51This is everything.
18:52Yes, this is nice.
18:53Isn't it?
18:54I love this view.
18:55Yes.
18:56Now the house was a little funky.
18:57I'm not going to lie to you.
18:58Okay.
18:59That patio slash bedroom slash...
19:03I don't know what was going on there.
19:04It wasn't it.
19:05And then also we would spend $450 and then probably add another $100,000 in remodeling.
19:10But it is definitely the cheapest you're going to find on the water.
19:14I really want you guys to think about this when you, you know, make your decision.
19:17I mean, I think it's a no brainer, but it's not my chick.
19:19I'll be right.
19:20With that final breathtaking view in their minds, Aaliyah and Andre need to have a little
19:27father-daughter chat to figure out which beach house these heroes will call home.
19:32Will they choose the views that could not be beat or lots of space but a commute to the
19:40sand and surf?
19:41Maybe it's the strange patio yet steps from the ocean option.
19:46And when the music stops on this daddy-daughter dance, the home that they've taken as their
19:51own is...
19:52We decided to go with the March View home because this home just had our hearts.
19:57It's spacious.
19:58We have that backyard to be able to have family and family gatherings there.
20:02We have the versatility of going to the beach or just chilling at home in the backyard with
20:07the fire pit going.
20:08You can't beat that.
20:09The crescent house.
20:10The kitchen was tight.
20:11The living room was tight.
20:13I'm a pretty big guy and I need some space.
20:15The Anastasia home was very nice, but it was going to be a lot of handyman work.
20:21I'm not trying to do a rehab right now.
20:23The March View home was listed at $380.
20:26We went in offering $350 and they counter offered at $380 but included the furniture.
20:33So that was huge.
20:34Thank you, Kiara, for negotiating that for us.
20:37So now that we're here, what do you want to do this weekend?
20:40I'm just down for whatever.
20:42Even if it's just like we can just walk, we can do whatever, I'm down for it all.
20:47Even if it's just the beach.
20:49Oh, thank you.
20:50How are our drinks casing so far?
20:53Amazing.
20:54Perfect.
20:55Are you all enjoying the Sunday too?
20:56Yes, ma'am.
20:57Yeah, we just moved here.
20:58You just moved here?
20:59Yeah, this is our first weekend.
21:00Congratulations.
21:01Welcome to Florida.
21:02It's been a long time coming, my friend.
21:05But I am very proud of you.
21:07You have always taught me to push, excel, always shoot for the stars.
21:11And as long as you shoot for the stars, your goals can be there.
21:14After battling blazes for a living, Andre has finally traded fire alarms for Ocean Calm.
21:24And Aaliyah has found an affordable beach home they can all share for generations to come.
21:30Thanks for having us, everybody.
21:33And our final break.
21:34Thanks for coming.
21:37Thanks for coming.
21:38Let's see.
21:39Thanks for coming.
