00:01This is where it all started,
00:03was you and I trying to play a game.
00:05I've been with Matt since I was 15 years old.
00:07He's the only person I've ever been with.
00:09What's the bet?
00:09For every point I get, you're taking your clothes off.
00:12What about me?
00:12Same thing, I'll take my clothes off.
00:14Done. Done.
00:14I have five sisters, and they always say,
00:16if he's the only person you've ever been with,
00:17how do you know that it's good?
00:18And I'm like, girl, if this isn't good,
00:20I don't know what is.
00:23Take it off right now.
00:24Take your shirt off.
00:25We've been married for 22 years.
00:27I kicked it off.
00:30We had kids right away.
00:32We didn't really get to have that wild adventure.
00:35Our daughters are both off to college,
00:36so we're like, bye, we're going to Roatan.
00:39So we've been coming for the past three years
00:41and really just enjoying the island and loving it so much.
00:44Come on, honey.
00:48Vacation Matt and Jenna,
00:49that could be turned into like a full-time lifestyle.
00:54We're officially making the big jump
00:56to buy our house in Roatan.
00:57We're all in.
00:58We're all in.
00:59We're all in.
01:24Is it too early for rum punch?
01:26Never too early.
01:27Cheers.
01:28Cheers.
01:28Currently we live in Redding, California.
01:31Our life there is very routine.
01:33We're in Roatan.
01:34Mm-hmm.
01:35We sold our house.
01:36It's time to go.
01:37Matt, Jenna.
01:39Hi, how are you?
01:39Hi, how are you?
01:40So happy to finally meet you.
01:41Nice to meet you, too.
01:43I'm Loido Iuela.
01:44I'm a real estate agent here on the island.
01:46I moved to Roatan 11 years ago from Tegucigalpas,
01:50the capital city of Honduras,
01:51where I was born and raised.
01:53This used to be a British colony,
01:55so the main language is English.
01:57Anybody who's coming in from North America
01:59will feel right at home.
02:01So this is quietly but quickly developing.
02:03People want to get ahead of the game
02:05before it's no longer a hidden gem.
02:07My brother has been coming here for a really long time,
02:10and he owns his own home here.
02:12And he's just been trying to get the whole family
02:14to come over here to Roatan, and it's finally our turn.
02:17Time to figure out who Matt and Jenna are without babies.
02:20I'm excited for you guys.
02:21As you know, I have a huge family.
02:23I have six siblings.
02:24I'd love for them to visit here as often as possible,
02:27and so I'd love a house that has five bedrooms.
02:29Less space might be better,
02:30so maybe the family doesn't visit as often,
02:32but 30-plus people under the same roof.
02:34It's a bit rough.
02:35How many bedrooms are we talking about?
02:37No more than two.
02:38No, no, no, because you're wanting, like,
02:40a 4,000-square-foot house, right?
02:42Is what you were saying?
02:43Yeah, 3,000, 4,000.
02:44I prefer on the water.
02:45I know she prefers maybe a view.
02:47I just need a view.
02:48Yeah, less sand.
02:48Less sand running through my house is better.
02:50I prefer no pool.
02:52I need a pool.
02:52She wants the pool.
02:53She loves the pool.
02:54We definitely need a move-in ready home,
02:56as turnkey as possible.
02:57The east is better known for its raw beauty.
03:00On the west side, you will be close to all the amenities
03:03that Roatan is famous for, you know,
03:05all-inclusive hotels, restaurants, bars, nightlife.
03:09You won't find that here on the east.
03:11I love the hustle and bustle of the west end, so.
03:14Even though I'm, like, a very social, bubbly person,
03:17when I'm, like, home, I want it to be my sanctuary.
03:19What's your budget?
03:20Oh.
03:21That's a good question.
03:22We also differ on this.
03:23So the way that we view and spend money is very different.
03:27I kind of grew up in a rough childhood.
03:30Six kids, single wide trailer, no money.
03:33I grew up in a completely different, you know, household.
03:38He's a little bougie.
03:39Yeah.
03:39Under three million?
03:40Under three million?
03:42And I'm more like the two, 2.5.
03:44It's really rare for me to have clients that give me
03:47a million dollar range to play with.
03:50I'm gonna have to educate them in terms of what they can find
03:53on the west and the east side and have them compromise.
03:56Yeah, this is gonna be wonderful.
04:10I believe that buying this house in Roatan is for us.
04:13It is for the zesty era of Matt and Jenna.
04:16It really is.
04:17But I really do believe that our family's gonna wanna come
04:19and be a part of Roatan and be on the beach
04:22and have a free place to stay, if I'm being totally honest.
04:25We're at beautiful Luna Beach.
04:27We're gonna see a house that is listed at one million US dollars.
04:30I know that Jenna wanted to stay a little lower on the side of the budget
04:35and this one delivers.
04:37I thought since we're in the neighborhood of Luna Beach
04:40that I would show you a house with a lower budget.
04:43It's listed for one million US dollars.
04:46Oh, that's what I'm talking about.
04:48This area is between West End and West Bay.
04:50It's still really close to all the amazing amenities
04:53that you can find in West Bay Beach and in West End Town.
04:57So we're in a very privileged location.
04:59The downside is that it's only three bedrooms, four bathrooms.
05:04That's what I'm talking about.
05:05I knew there was a catch.
05:07No pool, but there is a great ocean view.
05:10If I want to go under your budget just to keep you happy, Jenna,
05:15we have to give up some things.
05:17We have to give up bedrooms, give up more square footage.
05:20I mean, three bedrooms literally will not fit.
05:23It won't even fit your family.
05:25I like the three bedrooms and no pool, no maintenance.
05:27You can't beat that.
05:29No, it's not even our style.
05:31Jenna's not convinced by saying we call it a wrap for this one
05:35and we just keep looking, okay?
05:36Yes, I agree. Thank you.
05:38All right.
05:40The million-dollar house didn't go over really well,
05:42but I have another house lined up in this neighborhood
05:45that is going to be higher up there in terms of price
05:48because of all the space that it has,
05:50all the bedrooms and proximity to the beach.
05:53Wow.
05:55This is nice.
05:56I like the color.
05:57The white with the wood's pretty.
05:59Really the best feature, I think, of this house,
06:02this beautiful pool with jungle views and a hot tub.
06:06We're just two minutes away from the beach,
06:09close to all the amenities.
06:10It's priced at $2.8 million,
06:12a quarter of an acre lot, 6,200 square feet,
06:15six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and...
06:18Six bedrooms.
06:19Lots of deck space.
06:20Make yourselves at home.
06:21Great. Thank you so much.
06:22I'm excited.
06:23Yeah, let's go.
06:25Ooh, it's cold in here.
06:27Oh, it feels great. I like it.
06:29It's nice and cool.
06:30I think we should go upstairs first.
06:31Yeah, let's go.
06:32It's a little steep.
06:34It's really nice.
06:35Oh, wow.
06:36Wow.
06:37Yeah.
06:37It really opens up in here.
06:38Yeah.
06:39It's like cathedral ceiling.
06:40Is that what they call it?
06:41Yeah, the windows are beautiful.
06:42Yeah.
06:43I feel like this is a little too small for my family.
06:46Your whole family will definitely not fit in here.
06:48Are you sure?
06:48I think we could.
06:50I don't even want to try.
06:52This table's huge.
06:53I feel like it could fit my whole family.
06:55That's the problem.
06:57I'm a very private person.
06:58I like to have my own space.
07:01I like to have my own sanctuary of quietness.
07:04When a lot of people are around, it's just taxing.
07:08What do you think about the color?
07:09I like the paint.
07:10I mean, we would definitely have to redo it.
07:11You can see that there are some runs in the paint,
07:13which would bother me.
07:15Would you tear these cupboards out and redo them?
07:18No.
07:18What would you do?
07:19You can tear them out and redo them.
07:22Up the stairs.
07:23Let's go.
07:23Ooh, these are steep.
07:25You can definitely fit family up here.
07:28Oh, this is definitely for the kids.
07:31This is like the bunk room.
07:32It's like a loft because there's all the light that comes over.
07:35Let's go.
07:36We'll look over and see what it leads to.
07:38Catwalk.
07:40All right.
07:43Oh, there's bats.
07:47There's bats right there.
07:48Oh, that's awesome.
07:49They're looking at you right now.
07:51Oh, God.
07:52I was wondering what all that is.
07:53It's bat poop.
07:54Oh, yeah.
07:54Here's our ocean view.
07:56What?
07:58Through the trees.
07:59Oh, yeah.
07:59A little bit.
08:00Yeah.
08:01Oh, man.
08:03The only way this would be an ocean view
08:04is if you chopped all of those trees down.
08:06Yeah.
08:06And then we would probably get in trouble.
08:09Let's go downstairs.
08:11Okay.
08:11King bed.
08:12They have an ensuite in here.
08:13So that's nice.
08:14Same color cupboards.
08:15Jungle view.
08:16Yeah.
08:16Not an ocean view.
08:18Let's go find our primary.
08:19It's got to be here somewhere.
08:20Here's the primary.
08:21How do we feel about this?
08:25This is your view.
08:26Yeah.
08:26Our primary view.
08:27Yeah, there's no view.
08:28A wall with some dead palm leaves.
08:30Mm-hmm.
08:30I don't know how I feel about that
08:31with this being the top of our price range.
08:33Mm-hmm.
08:33And that's all we wanted was to be on an island
08:35and be in the views.
08:36Yeah.
08:36We've got nothing.
08:38Hop in.
08:38No dual shower in.
08:39Let's see if we can fit though.
08:41Hey.
08:42Yeah.
08:42What do you think?
08:44I don't know.
08:44Get up here.
08:45Here we go.
08:46Here we go.
08:46Can you just stand here like this?
08:48Here we'll just shower each other up.
08:54So what did you guys think?
08:56I feel like there's enough space for my family.
08:57Six bedrooms.
08:58Lots of living space.
09:00Yeah, personally I'd rather see less bedrooms
09:02and more living space.
09:03And I'm still a little disappointed
09:05about the no ocean view.
09:06Yeah, me too.
09:07So.
09:07It's pretty shocking that, you know,
09:10really what 2.8 can get you on the west end.
09:13I understand it.
09:14There's a lot to do.
09:15There's a lot to see.
09:16There's a lot to experience.
09:17But I thought for sure for 2.8,
09:18we would be able to get something waterfront
09:20with either a view or on the beach.
09:23We're both directors in sales for tech companies.
09:26It's a very high pressure, high stress job.
09:28Look at the hummingbirds.
09:30This is a time in our life
09:31where we can finally enjoy working,
09:33remotely from our home here.
09:35If the internet reaches the beach,
09:37we're working from the beach.
09:38Hot spot, baby.
09:39Wow.
09:41Cheers.
09:42We're really excited to see
09:44where this new adventure takes us.
09:45A little bit more island life.
09:47A little bit more relaxed.
09:48And we'll see how that goes.
09:55We're going to be going to Camp Bay Estates
09:57where we can find the highest priced listing
09:59on the east side of the island.
10:01Oh, no.
10:02I'm nervous about that.
10:04Well, it's priced at 2.4 million US dollars.
10:07Oh, my goodness.
10:08That's right in our budget.
10:10That doesn't make me as nervous.
10:112.4, though, with these roads.
10:13I don't know.
10:14It's so close to the beach, Matt.
10:15I think that you're going to love this location.
10:18Here we are, guys.
10:20I love the color.
10:22The black and white with the wood tones.
10:24It's stunning.
10:24This is a modern home with great finishings.
10:27Five bedrooms, five bathrooms.
10:28Oh, wonderful.
10:29This neighborhood is actually just a short drive away
10:31from Camp Bay Beach,
10:33which is our most extensive beach here on the island.
10:36And we also have 500 hectares of mixed forest right behind you.
10:41This is your backyard.
10:42Port Royal National Park.
10:43I love that.
10:44Yeah, it's beautiful.
10:44I love that.
10:45I'll be waiting out here for you guys, okay?
10:46Awesome.
10:47Yeah, we're excited.
10:47Go on in.
10:49I love this door.
10:51I know.
10:51It's huge.
10:52Oh, honey, look at this.
10:55Wow.
10:56Oh, my gosh.
10:56Look at that view.
10:57This is what we came for right here.
10:59Yep.
10:59Wow.
11:00It's like jungle and the pool and the water.
11:04Come sit with me real quick.
11:06What do you think?
11:08Let's get really into it.
11:09Are we doing this?
11:10Yeah.
11:10Let's go.
11:11Oh, my gosh.
11:12Look at the ceiling.
11:13Coming from a trailer to a nice home
11:16has always been priority for me.
11:17I just wanted to be proud of my home.
11:19I never thought in my wildest dreams
11:21that I'd be looking for a $2.5 million home
11:23in a beautiful tropical paradise, so.
11:27Or $3 million.
11:28Oh, boom.
11:30You know that happens.
11:30A big shiny island perfect for a midnight feast.
11:33I'm not talking about food either.
11:36Okay, honey.
11:36I love the appliances,
11:38but do we feel like this kitchen's going to be big enough?
11:40Yeah, that's a great question.
11:42I mean, there's not a lot of restaurants around here,
11:44so we are going to be eating here a lot.
11:45Might be thinking more restaurants at the West End.
11:51They go in here.
11:52So it's a bunk room.
11:53It's simple.
11:54It has the same tile,
11:55which I'm not a huge fan of the tile.
11:57Mm-hmm.
11:57What would you feel like?
11:59Were you doing some floors?
12:01We're not tearing out tile.
12:02We did that too many times already.
12:04Okay, well.
12:05I definitely wouldn't want this to be the primary
12:07with the kitchen being right there
12:08and, you know, your family here
12:10with all the echoes
12:11and for the price point,
12:12I don't want that as the view.
12:14Absolutely.
12:14Well, let's go see if we can find a better view.
12:16Okay.
12:17That's nice.
12:18Stop.
12:22Oh, this is nice.
12:23The love palace.
12:24The love palace.
12:25This is the love palace.
12:26I like this room.
12:27I love it.
12:27The local wood, right?
12:29Yeah, there's a lot of local wood
12:31going to be made in here.
12:32Oh, you like this room that much, huh?
12:34You have the ocean view here.
12:36And we'd have sunset views from this window.
12:39Oh, honey.
12:41This is what I'm talking about.
12:42Showers.
12:43Let's try this out.
12:44Oh, boy.
12:45Don't keep your clothes on.
12:47We could definitely fit in here.
12:49Wait.
12:49Try over here.
12:50Oh, boy.
12:50Here we go.
12:54Oh, boy.
12:55Let's get out of here
12:56before you want to hop in the shower again.
13:01Oh.
13:02There you go.
13:03The ocean view.
13:05All right.
13:05I see the construction a little bit more now.
13:07Yeah.
13:09But listen.
13:11I know.
13:12How long is that going to happen for?
13:13I don't know.
13:13It is the East End.
13:14Yeah.
13:16They're building and developing.
13:17It is a nice view.
13:18Yeah.
13:19It is kind of an eyesore.
13:20I'm not going to lie.
13:21Yeah.
13:22I mean, there is a restaurant down there,
13:23so that makes it nice.
13:24Yeah.
13:24And look, there's even a little hotel
13:26if you wanted to have my family stay there.
13:29That's here.
13:30I love that idea.
13:31It's perfect.
13:32But the view.
13:33You think you can lounge up here in the sun naked and...
13:36I have no shame.
13:38I thought I'd check in on you guys.
13:40Hi.
13:41How's it going?
13:41Give it to me.
13:42What's the feedback?
13:44Well...
13:45All the construction going on down there and the noise.
13:48You know, how long is that going to be going on for?
13:49Well, it's going to take some time, like everything in Roatan.
13:52You have to be patient.
13:54Yeah.
13:54You know, we're on island time here.
13:55To be fair, you will hear construction island-wide.
13:58It's not only exclusive to the East Side.
14:00Yeah.
14:01But I understand.
14:02I hear what you're saying.
14:04And we have another house to see, so...
14:06Nice.
14:07Let's check that out.
14:07Is that one on the beach or...?
14:09It is on the beach.
14:10That's what I'm talking about.
14:11Oh, boy.
14:12But it is on the East.
14:13Oh, that's what I'm talking about.
14:14There we go.
14:15Okay.
14:15Okay, guys.
14:16I'm excited.
14:17Let's keep looking.
14:23I wonder if we could put the sail out.
14:25I think you put the sail out for us?
14:26I'll put the sail out for you.
14:28Not that sail.
14:30I like you when you drink.
14:31I like you when you drink.
14:31The island's going to change us.
14:33I'm telling you.
14:39What's today, Monday?
14:40We didn't even know that.
14:41I had no idea what day it was.
14:42I just think we may need to quit our jobs altogether and just island life.
14:47Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
14:49I don't even know who you are right now.
14:56Matt, I love that I have you front row this time to enjoy the roads under construction.
15:02Yeah, they're definitely under construction.
15:04We're getting it on the ground level, honey.
15:06I'm trying to keep an open mind.
15:08Jenna, how are you doing back there?
15:09Doing great.
15:10I love it.
15:11The jungle is amazing.
15:12Not too bouncy back there for you?
15:14Not at the moment.
15:15Doing good.
15:16I'm going to be showing you the only property that we have on Camp Bay Beach.
15:22Listed at $1,750,000.
15:26Okay.
15:27So we're well under budget.
15:29So the house comes with three bedrooms, two full baths, two half baths.
15:35So a total of four bathrooms.
15:36Does it have a pool?
15:37It does have a pool.
15:38Okay.
15:38All right.
15:40Is Camp Bay pretty touristy?
15:42Camp Bay is still quiet.
15:45Still secluded.
15:47It's the longest beach on the island.
15:49So there's a lot of room.
15:50It's going to be a game changer, I think, for you.
15:53We're here.
15:54I'm loving this.
15:57Roatan!
15:58Look at this.
15:58That's what I'm talking about.
15:59On the beach.
16:00Look at that view.
16:01This is beautiful.
16:02I love it.
16:03Toes in the sand.
16:04This is it.
16:06Right?
16:06What is ours and what's public?
16:08The beach is public.
16:09But, you know, this is further from the two cruise ship ports that we have on the island.
16:13So you're not going to get that much traffic here.
16:17What do you think about this curb appeal?
16:19I love the colors of the house.
16:21It looks like it's got three stories.
16:22I'm excited to check it out.
16:24Let's get you out of the sun.
16:26And into the house.
16:27Yeah, let's go.
16:27Sounds good.
16:28I like that it has a lot of parking.
16:30I feel like we could, like, double stack cars all the way down.
16:33Yeah, you can definitely have a party and have everybody parking out here.
16:36Absolutely.
16:37There's definitely plenty of parking.
16:39Oh, my gosh.
16:39Look.
16:40It's like a lighthouse.
16:41It goes all the way up.
16:42Oh, yeah.
16:43Very steep.
16:45Ooh.
16:45Now I feel about the purple.
16:47The purple's a little much.
16:49Oh, my gosh.
16:50It's hot in here.
16:52Immediately.
16:52I love the pirate line.
16:54Immediately, no.
16:54That's a really beautiful table.
16:56I feel like my family could fit at this table.
16:58Yeah.
16:58But I don't actually feel like I would sit in here much because it's so warm.
17:01Yeah.
17:02Maybe if you open up these two windows, you get a nice cross breeze.
17:05A little texture might be nice.
17:07Texture?
17:08Texture?
17:09I don't think you can get much more texture.
17:11What do you think about this kitchen?
17:12There's no dishwasher.
17:14Yeah.
17:14That's kind of a big deal for us.
17:16Or we can go to the West End, just like I like.
17:19This is the beach house that you wanted.
17:23This is what I'm talking about.
17:25You know, it's so hot here, I don't necessarily know if I wouldn't mind having a pool anymore.
17:28Really?
17:29Yeah.
17:30Oh, it's actually the infinity.
17:31Yeah.
17:31And can you just imagine people out there partying on that beach right in front of our house?
17:36Look at the chairs over here.
17:37This is my spot.
17:38Yeah.
17:38All right.
17:39I wonder what this is.
17:40The primary.
17:41I hope not.
17:42It's a little small.
17:44This is very small.
17:46Do you feel like it's our style in here?
17:47I feel like it's very country almost feeling, not even beachy with the wood.
17:52Yeah.
17:53The good thing about this house is whatever we want to do, we would have the money to do it.
17:56Mm-hmm.
17:57The bathroom here.
17:59Mm-hmm.
17:59I could see you doing your makeup right here.
18:01Okay.
18:02Mm-hmm.
18:02I don't wear makeup in the island, you know?
18:04It just melts right off, so.
18:06Oh, look at that shower.
18:08I like it.
18:08That's a single shower head, though.
18:10Oh.
18:10You know, like, we like to take showers together.
18:12I know.
18:13We really do.
18:13I could never get ready back here, because I'm already sweating.
18:16Yeah.
18:16Oh, watch these stairs.
18:18The stairs are steep.
18:18They're steep, and there's a ton of them.
18:21What is this?
18:25What is this?
18:27An office.
18:28Okay.
18:29Well, let me catch my breath again.
18:31I just feel like it may not be a good space for both of us, but maybe you.
18:34Yeah, this is my space.
18:35I love it.
18:36But look at the view.
18:36Again, just bring it back to the view, right?
18:38I do love an ocean view.
18:39Mm-hmm.
18:40Ooh.
18:41I like the breeze already.
18:43It's like a lookout.
18:46Wow.
18:46Oh, wow.
18:47I feel like this could be our little, like, official love nest.
18:50Oh, really?
18:51What do you think?
18:52It's like a nest.
18:52It's like a perching area.
18:54I feel like this is the coolest area of the house, but it's like a thousand steps.
19:00Literally a thousand steps.
19:02I like this house.
19:03I like it a lot.
19:04I mean, I feel like it can fit into our lifestyle of, like, the next era of our life, just
19:10me
19:10and there is a lot of room in the budget that we really can add some space.
19:15But it is on the east side.
19:17Is the beach enough to sway you to the east end?
19:19I don't know.
19:20The west end house was a little choppy.
19:22It's not open and hairy.
19:25Yeah.
19:25In the living area with the kitchen, the dining room.
19:27Yeah.
19:27When there's 30 of us all together for Thanksgiving, that space is just a little too tight.
19:33But the house on the east end with the ocean view, I love how open it was, but there's
19:38a lot of houses being built around it.
19:40I don't know if I can get past the east end construction and development.
19:43It really could go on for a long time, but it had the most space.
19:47Ian and you know me.
19:48I love having people over and people wanting to come to our house.
19:52I know you like being the hostess with the mostest.
19:54I know.
19:55I do.
19:56I do.
19:56I get all that, yeah.
19:57There's a lot of thinking to do.
19:59Or maybe we can just try and look for something else.
20:01Hopefully on the beach.
20:03We'll see.
20:11Hey babe.
20:12Hey babe.
20:13How's it going?
20:13Good.
20:14How are you?
20:14Good.
20:15Do we need to do anything else for dinner?
20:17Did you put the hot dogs and ribs out?
20:18Yep.
20:19Okay, perfect.
20:19And then the potato salad is still in the fridge.
20:22Yeah.
20:22But we'll need to put that out.
20:23What time is everybody supposed to be here?
20:24Like 15 minutes?
20:2515.
20:25I only need three.
20:27Maybe five.
20:27Two for cuddling.
20:30We chose the Ocean View house on the east end.
20:33We did choose a house that has five bedrooms, which is something I was super excited about
20:37because of the fact that I have such a large family.
20:39Beautiful house, beautiful kitchen.
20:41I don't know how we could not not be the party house.
20:44Jenna brings the party.
20:45I am the party.
20:48Cheers to that.
20:49Yeah.
20:49I'll cheers you.
20:50Cheers you.
20:51I feel like the move to Rotan brought more family over.
20:54Aunts and uncles are coming to Rotan that wouldn't even come to Christmas.
20:58And growing up the way that I did in a trailer and then being able to meet my person at
21:0515
21:05and grow together and just become, I just almost got emotional.
21:10That's funny.
21:11I just think it's pretty, pretty awesome to have this life together.
21:16You know?
21:18That we can just have and share together for 25 years and just have the love that we still have
21:23for each other.
21:23Uh-huh.
21:24No matter where we are.
21:25Yeah.
21:26It is, it is just pretty amazing.
21:29He's my heart.
21:32I love you.
