00:00It's a mindset, not a price tag.
00:02Think again.
00:04Finding a cheap beach house is actually very possible.
00:07This is a great price with those views.
00:10We got the most affordable house with the most amount of space.
00:13Do you have anything maybe a little cheaper?
00:16These buyers are chasing coastal dreams on tight budgets.
00:21This is Cheap Ass Beach Houses, where smart money
00:24meets beautiful ocean views.
00:30And the crowd goes wild.
00:48That scoring pass was brought to you by Andre and Aaliyah.
00:52They're a dynamic father-daughter duo looking for that beach life
00:55in the oldest city in America, St. Augustine, Florida.
01:00My name's Aaliyah, and I am a tech in the ER.
01:03My name is Andre.
01:04I work for Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department.
01:07My day-to-day as a firefighter is hectic.
01:10We start at 7 a.m. and we get off at 7 a.m. the following morning.
01:14Honestly, what really inspired me was going to the fire station a lot
01:17with my dad as a little girl.
01:19The first time I took her, I made her go.
01:23But every time after that, she wanted to go.
01:25Hanging around the firefighters, going on calls with them.
01:29I would stay in the truck, but just seeing the urgency and the need for them.
01:34I didn't know I was making that kind of impression on her, but I'm glad I did.
01:37My dad has always been the person to put himself last and put everyone else first.
01:42Oh, this makes me, oh my God.
01:50Oh, it makes me so emotional.
01:52My dad is definitely someone that makes sure that everyone around him is taken care of.
01:58That type of love is a love that, like, you know, you don't get from anybody else.
02:02After a lifetime of service to others,
02:06if anyone deserves an affordable seaside sanctuary, it's this pair of literal lifesavers.
02:12You know, it's actually really cool, though, because I never thought, like,
02:17having a beach house, like, what?
02:20Yeah?
02:20Like, seriously?
02:22And I don't have to pay for it?
02:23Like...
02:23The more and more you talk about this beach house,
02:25the more and more I think you're going to be paying half the mortgage.
02:30Is anybody else around here?
02:31Honestly, I'm excited for the day, like, time will come.
02:36But when I have children and I'm like, oh my God, we can go to Pop Pop's beach house,
02:41or we can hang out, and it'll be something that we keep all the time.
02:44And, you know, he'll be the rich grandpa.
02:50Jacksonville may be their home now, but they've set their hearts on St. Augustine, Florida.
02:56And while only an hour away, these cities are worlds apart.
03:00I'm excited. We're going to go look.
03:02I know you'll give me your honest opinion.
03:04I was going to say, how honest do you want me to be?
03:06A hundred percent honest. A hundred percent.
03:09Okay.
03:10And, uh, let's do this.
03:11Be careful what you wish for.
03:13Buying a cheap beachside home for Andre to retire to,
03:16and a legacy Aaliyah can one day pass down, is no small task.
03:21It's going to take a sharp-eyed local who knows these shores inside and out.
03:26And that's where real estate queen Kiara comes in.
03:30My name is Kiara Nicolette.
03:32Oh, my gosh.
03:34This ocean is doing me a disservice with this hair.
03:37I got involved in real estate when I was looking for my own house here in St. Augustine Beach.
03:42It was a very impossible price at a very impossible time in a very impossible market.
03:47I knew that I needed an agent who was going to be aggressive, and I couldn't find that.
03:52So I said, I need to become that.
03:54The most beautiful thing about our city is that we have this stunning downtown.
03:58You feel like you're walking through Italy when you're walking through it.
04:01Stunning restaurants, shops.
04:02You go over the bridge, and you are close to some of the most stunning beaches in Florida.
04:08St. Augustine is such a paradise for people to come and visit and see.
04:11You can go to the beach, enjoy surfing, fishing, restaurants.
04:14There's so much to do in the great city of St. Augustine.
04:17It's absolutely a stunning place to visit, but also a great place to call home.
04:23What houses are we thinking?
04:25What areas are we thinking?
04:26What are we looking for?
04:28So we're thinking more beachy, St. Augustine area.
04:31When you say beachy, do you mean like in front of the beach, walking to the beach?
04:36Both.
04:36Preferably on the beach.
04:38Okay.
04:38Yeah.
04:39Okay.
04:39Two bedroom at least, two bathrooms, square footage, maybe about 1500 square feet.
04:44Okay.
04:45I don't want to do the remodeler thing.
04:46Okay.
04:47So no renos.
04:48You're busy.
04:49You're saving lives every day.
04:50You can't do that.
04:51Okay.
04:52Noted.
04:54How about outdoor space?
04:55The outdoor space hopefully has a outdoor kitchen.
04:59Yeah.
05:00Okay.
05:00Yeah, we love cooking outside.
05:01You love to grill?
05:02Yeah.
05:02Okay.
05:03Okay.
05:04If there is a soaking tub, lots of sunlight.
05:08Yeah.
05:09What is the maximum you're willing to spend?
05:11Ideally, I would like to stay around 425.
05:14Okay.
05:15But if it's really, really something we like and we want, 500 to be the max.
05:20500 absolute max.
05:22Absolute max.
05:22Okay.
05:22So it's a couple more shifts, you know?
05:27As long as she gets to come relax, we're good.
05:31And as Andre downs that mimosa, it's time for this trio to get down to the business of finding
05:38that cheap seaside sanctuary on the shore.
05:41I'm really excited for you guys to see this one.
05:43Okay.
05:43I think it's going to be a great option.
05:45But check out this view.
05:47This is prime.
05:49Wow.
05:50Real estate.
05:50Oh, my God.
05:51This is amazing.
05:53Yeah.
05:53Oh, wow.
05:53This is what I worked 20 years for.
05:55That part.
05:58We're actually right in between St. Augustine Beach and Crescent Beach.
06:01So you're kind of getting in the middle of both, which is awesome because this is
06:05more of a quieter beach, actually.
06:07This is a two bedroom, two bath, 1240 square feet.
06:11This is listed at $489,000.
06:13Kiara must have pulled some heavy strings to get that price in this area.
06:20Also has two balconies and some amenities that I really need you guys to see.
06:24I'm going to let you guys go check out the condo and then we'll meet right back at the pool.
06:27How does that sound?
06:28Okay, perfect.
06:29Like, look at this walk.
06:30We're like 50 feet away.
06:31Yeah.
06:32Like, okay.
06:34I can get down.
06:38Oh, this is nice.
06:40Very modern.
06:42No remodeling.
06:43That's always a plus.
06:45The living room is a little tight, though.
06:47Yeah.
06:48I would expect it to be a little bit bigger.
06:51I like the kitchen area.
06:52I like this, like, island part here.
06:55Okay, let's do some role playing, though, now.
06:57I'm here at the dinner table.
07:00Why, thank you, sir.
07:01Uh-huh.
07:02Now go do what you do best.
07:04Hey.
07:06This kitchen is a little bit tight.
07:07It does look a little tight.
07:09I like how it even, like, extends out to this, like, little bar area.
07:12Oh, there you go.
07:13That's your little seat to watch, man.
07:15You keep the company.
07:16Let me pull the chair up.
07:18There you go.
07:18Perfect.
07:19Here you go, sous chef.
07:20I have your coffee.
07:21I have my coffee.
07:24You know you like coffee and wine, so.
07:26Mimosas.
07:30Less orange juice, more champagne, please.
07:32Coffee in the left hand, mimosas in the right.
07:35Aaliyah is all about balance.
07:37I want to see this view.
07:40Oh, wow.
07:41View.
07:42To be able to come out here, holy moly.
07:47Have your morning coffee, just relax.
07:50I love this.
07:51This is great.
07:52But I do notice something.
07:53I don't see a grill.
07:54How do you feel about that?
07:56I wanted that grill.
07:58But this view is amazing.
08:00I will say it is.
08:01Maybe I'll buy a George Foreman grill.
08:03What is that?
08:05I don't even know what that is.
08:08This is, like, the first.
08:09I can only imagine the rest of them.
08:10This is so nice.
08:11I'm not sure if I want to imagine the rest of them.
08:13Let's just put an offer on this one.
08:14No.
08:15You don't even know what the rooms look like.
08:17What if we were, like, in a little box?
08:19For this view, I'll deal with a little box.
08:22Okay.
08:22Well, good thing the hat is not just about you.
08:25Looks like Aaliyah is going to have to be the strong one
08:28to keep her hero father's feet on the ground.
08:37With Andre's head in the clouds and his daughter Aaliyah's feet on the ground,
08:42these two are going to have to meet in the middle
08:45before they can buy this or any affordable beach house.
08:49I like this view.
08:50I like how we're starting.
08:50But we don't even know what the rest of the house looks like.
08:53So, well, let's see upstairs because I'm ready to see that.
08:58You sure you can walk up these stairs all day?
09:00Hey, easy.
09:02I know them joints getting a little old.
09:06I like the flooring.
09:07It makes it a lot brighter.
09:09Yes.
09:09Ooh.
09:11I like this room, but I really like this.
09:15This balcony is awesome.
09:18The sun sets on this side, right?
09:21Rising east sets in the west.
09:23So that's right?
09:24That's right.
09:25Okay.
09:26I don't know directions.
09:28I like it because it doesn't seem like there's really a lot to do.
09:32I am allergic to renovations.
09:34Are you?
09:34Or are you just getting old?
09:35Be careful, Aaliyah.
09:37Old age comes for us all.
09:38Except for me, of course.
09:40I'll be young forever.
09:41Okay, well, this gives the main room vibes.
09:45Well, it's bigger, but it doesn't have a balcony.
09:48This is true.
09:49But.
09:50Oh, uh-uh.
09:52That ain't gonna work, sir.
09:54Oh, wash it dry in the main bedroom?
09:56Kiara said there was a walk-in closet, but I think she meant a walk-in laundromat.
10:02But you get this view.
10:04The things that we don't like.
10:06It's like, but the view.
10:07But the view.
10:08But the ocean.
10:09It's right there.
10:10The washing drives in the bedroom.
10:11But the view.
10:15Yeah, I love all the flowers.
10:16I know.
10:17It's like resort style, but like.
10:19Hi.
10:20Hi.
10:21What do you guys think?
10:22We really like the views.
10:23We're in love with the views.
10:24Yep.
10:25It's a little tight.
10:26Yep.
10:26Being in the kitchen, it was a little tight.
10:29I'm a pretty big guy, and I need some space.
10:31Also, I was not a fan of that washer and dryer in the bedroom.
10:36Oh, no.
10:37I was like, this is awkward.
10:40I was looking for a grill, and I gotta be honest with you.
10:43I was a little disappointed I didn't see it.
10:45Okay.
10:46I actually have something right around the corner with a little bit more space.
10:49I think you guys would really appreciate.
10:51Oh, perfect.
10:51I'm ready to see.
10:52Let's go.
10:53I was ready to write a check when I saw that view.
10:55I'm not gonna lie.
10:59Okay, stop me if you've heard this one before.
11:02A firefighter, a nurse, and a real estate agent walk up to an affordable home near a beach,
11:07and the agent says...
11:08I'm gonna be taking Andre and Aaliyah over to Vilano Beach.
11:11It's a little bit more quiet.
11:12The great thing about Vilano Beach is that you are still close to everything that downtown
11:16and San Francisco Beach has to offer.
11:18You're really just a bridge away, but you do get the relaxation and a beautiful lifestyle here.
11:25Okay.
11:26Not bad.
11:29I like it from the outside.
11:33Hi.
11:33Hi.
11:34Hi.
11:34Welcome.
11:36I think you guys are really gonna love this one.
11:37This is the Marsh View condo.
11:40Two bed, two bath.
11:41This is listed at $389,000.
11:45Yeah.
11:46I love the location, but where's the beach?
11:48Where's the amenity?
11:48Where's the pool?
11:50The beach is right there.
11:51I know we don't see it, but it's right there.
11:54Let's go check it out.
11:54Okay, perfect.
11:55Wow.
11:57Nice.
11:58I like it.
11:59Yes.
11:59Okay.
12:00Come through the open layout.
12:02I love this one already.
12:03Right here.
12:04Kitchen has great new appliances.
12:07And he doesn't seem like he's too big for the kitchen.
12:11Correct.
12:11Correct.
12:13But what is up with St. Augustine and these washer and dryers in these random places?
12:18I know.
12:18Yeah.
12:19However, this one I feel like you can close off.
12:21This is true.
12:22And you can multitask.
12:23This is true.
12:24Washing dishes, washing clothes.
12:25All the different.
12:26You know what I mean?
12:27And right through here is the guest bedroom and guest bath.
12:32I love this color on these cabinets.
12:34I would have never thought to paint it that.
12:36So beautiful.
12:37And a tub.
12:38There's a tub.
12:40There is a tub.
12:43Okay, I can dig it.
12:45The high ceilings.
12:46I was just, I immediately looked at.
12:48Right?
12:49We love about the ceilings.
12:49That is nice.
12:50Look at all the space.
12:52And everything in here is updated, even a ceiling fan.
12:54Yeah, it looks so bright.
12:57The main space is absolutely stunning.
13:00I feel like you could have so many parties here.
13:02Does all of the furniture come with the home?
13:04It does not come with the home.
13:06However, we can negotiate it into the deal.
13:09Okay.
13:10I'm going to have you guys go check out the upstairs.
13:12Okay.
13:12And I'm going to meet you in the backyard.
13:14Okay.
13:15Sounds good.
13:15Perfect.
13:17More palm trees.
13:19I know.
13:19I love it.
13:20More palm trees.
13:24I love this.
13:25Oh, yeah.
13:26And another surfboard.
13:27This is awesome.
13:29This is a very big bedroom.
13:31Yeah, no for sure.
13:33Let's look at the bathroom.
13:34I love the countertop here, the sink.
13:37This is really cute.
13:38Yeah, very modern.
13:40The closet, not so much.
13:41What is this?
13:42This is a closet?
13:44Yeah, it's very small.
13:46I love the tile in the bathroom.
13:48And this lighting.
13:52Yeah, that's really nice.
13:54I love the lighting.
13:56But once again, what we missing, Andre?
14:00The beach, amenities, pool,
14:05pokeball, tennis.
14:07Oh, my God.
14:07Why are you making this list so long?
14:09Oh, my God.
14:16Kiara has brought Andre and Aaliyah to the Marsh View house,
14:20where Aaliyah has been swooning over the space and design elements.
14:24But where's the beach?
14:26Let's see this backyard.
14:28This is nice.
14:30I like this brown flooring here.
14:33Yeah.
14:33I like this little turf area.
14:35I don't know if I'll be playing soccer on it, but it's nice.
14:37Hi.
14:39Hi.
14:40Hi.
14:41What do we think?
14:42I liked it.
14:43Okay.
14:44I really do like it.
14:45I think it's big enough for all of us to come and hang out as a family.
14:49The bathroom upstairs is really small.
14:51A little small.
14:52The bathroom and the closet is really small.
14:53And the closet as well.
14:55My main concern is where's the beach?
14:58Where's the beach?
14:59That's what I said.
15:01Now, reminder, this is only $389,000.
15:05You are not going to find anything for that price this close to the beach.
15:09Okay, I think we're getting closer, though.
15:11Yes, we are.
15:11We are definitely getting closer.
15:12While the beach may be only a few minutes away from the Marsh View house,
15:17Andre wants front row seats to the Seabreeze Symphony.
15:24Well, this is more bougie than I was expecting.
15:26We got a gate.
15:27I really wanted to bring you guys here, mainly because it's oceanfront.
15:34Plus, it has all the amenities as well.
15:36This is Anastasia condo.
15:38It's a two-bedroom, two-bath, 1,200 square feet with amazing amenities.
15:43This one does have the pickleball courts, the tennis courts.
15:45Wow.
15:46And we do have a grill station for this one.
15:48The nice thing about this condo is that it's ground floor units,
15:51so you can open your door and you have access directly to the beach,
15:55which is awesome and also great for Dad as he, you know.
15:58Wait a minute.
15:59What's he trying to say?
16:00No stairs to walk down.
16:03No stairs is always a prize.
16:05Okay.
16:06Resale value.
16:07Yeah, sure.
16:08Yeah, resale value.
16:09Yeah.
16:11Come right on in.
16:12This is the pool right here.
16:13Thank you, thank you.
16:14Oh, wow.
16:14Nice.
16:16This is nice.
16:17This is listed at $450,000.
16:20This is well under that $500,000, which is why I really wanted you guys to see this one.
16:23I'm going to have you guys go check out the condo, and then we'll meet right at the beach.
16:26Perfect.
16:27Perfect.
16:27Okay, let's go.
16:30Let's see what the space is.
16:34Exciting.
16:35Okay.
16:37The space is really big.
16:39Let's check out this kitchen real fast.
16:42It is a lot more roomy already.
16:44Definitely.
16:45I know I can get what I need to get done.
16:47This is more spacious.
16:49Oh, Lord.
16:50Here we go with these washers and dryers.
16:52I knew you were going to love this.
16:54Lord.
16:55Well, well, well.
16:57Looks like we've come full cycle.
17:00I do like this dining area space.
17:02And it's open, so you can actually have people hanging out in the living room.
17:05This is very true.
17:06Now, what is this?
17:08Whoa.
17:08What the hell, Yonte?
17:10Oh, my God.
17:11What the Holly Berry, okay?
17:14It looks like they changed their mind.
17:15They're like halfway through, like,
17:18maybe we don't want a patio.
17:19Beach views.
17:20Here we come.
17:21All right.
17:23Routro.
17:24I hear it.
17:25I feel it.
17:26But where is...
17:29Where's Waldo?
17:31I guess you got to, like, walk down this path here.
17:33Yeah.
17:34All right.
17:35Well, let's go explore a little bit more.
17:38Obviously, this is the main bedroom.
17:40I mean, it's a bigger bedroom.
17:42It's just a little bit outdated.
17:44Yeah.
17:44This is more of a project.
17:46I don't think we were looking for a project.
17:49No.
17:49I do want to see this fresh room.
17:52I'm not a big fan of this color.
17:55And then straight across is the room.
17:57Wow.
17:59This is a nice space.
18:01Double bed, so that gives us more occupancy.
18:05People can spend the night.
18:06This is true.
18:07I see it has, like, this little patio area, but this is...
18:11That's where we came in at.
18:12That's the front door.
18:13Kind of strange.
18:15Okay.
18:16Maybe not like that.
18:18Whip it this way.
18:21You know what?
18:22I think it's time to find Chiara by that beach.
18:24Okay?
18:25When opportunity knocks, you say,
18:28go around to the side.
18:30I'll let you in through the garage.
18:33Hi.
18:39What did we think?
18:41I was a little skeptical at first, but now I see why you bought us here.
18:45Right?
18:45This is everything.
18:46Yes, this is nice.
18:48Isn't it?
18:48I love this view.
18:49Yes.
18:50Now, the house was a little funky.
18:52I'm not going to lie to you.
18:52Okay.
18:53That patio slash bedroom slash I don't know what was going on.
18:59It wasn't it.
19:00And then also, we would spend $450 and then probably add another $100,000 in remodeling.
19:05But it is definitely the cheapest you're going to find on the water.
19:08I really want you guys to think about this when you, you know, make your decision.
19:11I mean, I think it's a no-brainer, but it's not my chick.
19:14I'll be right.
19:15I'll be right back.
19:16With that final breathtaking view in their minds, Aaliyah and Andre need to have a little
19:22father-daughter chat to figure out which beach house these heroes will call home.
19:27Will they choose the views that could not be beat?
19:32Or lots of space, but a commute to the sand and surf?
19:36Maybe it's the strange patio yet steps from the ocean option.
19:41And when the music stops on this daddy-daughter dance, the home that they've taken as their own is...
19:48We decided to go with the Marshview home because this home just had our hearts.
19:52It's spacious.
19:54We have that backyard to be able to have family and family gatherings there.
19:58We have the versatility of going to the beach or just chilling at home in the backyard with the
20:02fire pit going.
20:03You can't beat that.
20:04The crescent house.
20:05The kitchen was tight.
20:06The living room was tight.
20:08I'm a pretty big guy and I need some space.
20:11The Anastasia home was very nice, but it was going to be a lot of handyman work.
20:16I'm not trying to do a rehab right now.
20:19The Marshview home was listed at $380.
20:21We went in offering $350 and they counter offered at $380, but included the furniture.
20:28So that was huge.
20:29Thank you, Kiara, for negotiating that for us.
20:32So now that we're here, what do you want to do this weekend?
20:35I'm just down for whatever.
20:37Even if it's just like we can just walk, we can do whatever.
20:40I'm down for it all.
20:42Even if it's just the beach.
20:43Oh, thank you.
20:44I got this gracing plate for you.
20:45And how are our drinks tasting so far?
20:47Amazing.
20:48Perfect.
20:48Yes.
20:49Are you all enjoying the Sunday too?
20:51Yes, ma'am.
20:52Yeah, we just moved here.
20:53You just moved here?
20:53Yeah, this is our first weekend.
20:54Congratulations.
20:56Welcome to Florida.
20:57It's been a long time coming, my friend.
21:00But I am very proud of you.
21:01You have always taught me to push, excel, always shoot for the stars.
21:06And as long as you shoot for the stars, your goals can be there.
21:12After battling blazes for a living, Andre has finally traded fire alarms for Ocean Calm.
21:19And Aaliyah has found an affordable beach home they can all share for generations to come.
