00:05We are in the business of love, love and marriage.
00:09We have two very large wedding venues back home in Houston.
00:14When you have your own business, you work all the time.
00:17I love you. Stay here forever.
00:21Wedding venues are a pretty reactionary business.
00:23You have to be on all the time and make sure that that perfect day is perfect for your clients.
00:28The hospitality industry. When everybody is playing, you're working.
00:31And that gets dropped at the door when we come to Luthorpe.
00:35It just kind of brings out the romance in us.
00:39We definitely need a home that has this type of view. This is incredible.
00:43Our weddings can be 300 people, so we're around a lot of people all the time.
00:47When we got here, we were the only two people on the beach.
00:50It was just so much peace we found here.
00:52We really need a place that we could just...
00:55Breathe.
00:55Yeah, and really enjoy one another.
00:58And we can work on our relationship, and we can reconnect.
01:00Let's find a house.
01:01Oh!

01:31caribbean and the atlantic side yeah the differences in blues are crazy it's just insane looking we love
01:39eluthera we didn't want to go where there were big resorts we really like the seclusion here
01:43you can surf on the atlantic side it's very wavy and then the other side is calm you can float
01:49for
01:49hours the wildlife here is incredible just so many things to do besides the beach i can't believe we
01:56get to do this how awesome and we get to do it together yeah this is something that we really
02:01want to do and we're gonna make it happen money is a concern we have a mortgage on our home

03:55she already wheeled me up to a million all right and i'm going to see what properties i could come
04:00up
04:00with awesome thank you thank you the real estate market in eleuthera is heating up you have a lot of
04:06buyers a lot of celebrities but limited inventory that means everything is going through the roof
04:12right now that one million dollars what they see as their ideal home is going to be so hard to
04:16find
04:22so guys this house is going to blow you away i'm just here to show you what the market looks
04:28like
04:29different price points wow you can see all the way through yeah this one is actually a three bedroom
04:35three and a half bath and a separate cottage wow all your non-negotiables are in this on the market
04:41for
04:423.2 million dollars for three wow let's just to let you know what the market is like it's going
04:48to be
04:48challenging trying to put those non-negotiables in one property well sean do you want to raise our budget
04:55i don't think so all right so this is central eleuthera this is governor's harbor it's the
05:01main town governor's harbor is a great little town yeah this is where all the restaurants are
05:04yes and then like where this beautiful house is located like it's really residential here on this
05:10left side you have an exclusive beach so the house where i'm taking you that would actually be
05:14only for this community nice and it does have a pool oh on the market for 1.2 million oh
05:21kyle you're
05:22over my budget again this is one of the best homes on the market right now so welcome guys it's
05:29a
05:29newly built comes fully furnished it hits most of their non-negotiables all right so this isn't so
05:34close to the beach is there i don't see any beach views from here you got beach views from the
05:39top
05:39floor and you also have that beautiful golf cart that comes with the property three minute drive to
05:44your private beach all right yeah take a look around i'll be out here waiting for you all right thanks
05:50you hear that noise yeah it's pretty noisy actually like isn't that the main street it is
05:56oh i love the ceiling that's really nice that's cute oh wow i love how the ceiling continues wow the
06:03whole house that's great oh i love the lights this is awesome you're gonna cook here i am with you
06:09you're gonna be my sous chef i know i know what that means i love the open vibe in here
06:14you can entertain
06:15here yeah let's go out here and see if we can see well it is kind of like a jungle
06:20view i mean it looks
06:21pretty but i'd rather have the ocean i love the porch there's your pool oh yeah that's nice love the
06:29yard it's pretty good great landscape i love the outdoor shower yeah it is private can we skinny dip
06:34there i can skinny dip anywhere let's go look at the rooms yeah let's do that i really like the
06:42furniture
06:42in this house it's just so beachy okay here's a guest room it's a little small but it is nice
06:48yeah
06:49i like that look at the tile yeah that's right it's really cute i like that a lot oh wow
06:54this is a
06:55great space i love the bed yes this is awesome oh yeah all right i could do this first time
07:03i met sean
07:04he was wearing this purple shirt and i was like i have to have him that's why i still wear
07:08purple now
07:10he's always been very fit lauren is very sexy there's a lot of physical attraction between us
07:15do we have to leave the bathroom it's got the same floor and you like that yeah i like that
07:20a lot
07:20it's big yeah i love this can get right on the patio i love that like a coffee in the
07:26morning i can't
07:27see the ocean though that's the yeah he said from the second floor we could see it okay let's go
07:31see it
07:32this is a large room i love the vaulted ceilings yeah they've got four beds up here it's good for
07:38kids yeah they have a whole nother living area okay you got oh look there's my view
07:44not what i was hoping for we could make that a larger window maybe sounds like more money
07:50how was it tell me good that's good i think one of my main concerns is the road noise and
07:56then the
07:56small little window to see the ocean was just hard for me we're at 1.2 yeah over budget and
08:02it
08:02doesn't check all the boxes i just don't think it's the one for us don't knock this one off your
08:06list just yet remember this market is very limited right now i was trying to fit all those non-negotiables
08:12into this property i know we fell short not having that exact view that's why i tried to include that
08:17golf cart and you have that private beach right up the road trying my best here you're busting my balls
08:23a
08:23little bit but well we're gonna bust them a little bit more i believe you can find the house for
08:30us
08:30on this island is this a complete no for this house
08:39is this a complete no for this house i'd say this is probably a no yeah no go on yeah
08:44all right all
08:46right this is a little more stressful for me because the costs are not what i anticipated i knew things
08:51close to the beach are high but this is a 1.2 million dollar house without a great beach view
08:57i hear road noise and that's almost heartbreaking because we have our hearts set on this island in
09:02this place yeah i think it's a little discouraging just to see how expensive this place is and kind
09:08of the wish list that we have may not actually happen for us with the price point that we're at
09:21this is all right so preacher's cave this is where luthera was founded really yeah there's a shipwreck
09:28out there came over here and had to live in this cave well i'm not living in a cave we've
09:34been married
09:3410 years now we work together we're always together we're pretty inseparable we're literally are always
09:39touching that's a good sign for our marriage wow oh look at that i love how this island is like
09:45not touristy at all there's no one all right you're gonna try to get up here you know we'll be
09:51alone up
09:51here no we are not doing anything like that in this case we have a marriage ministry and we we
09:58teach
09:58about sex to people that are about to get married and how important it is for us it's a really
10:02important
10:02part of our marriage what do you think the settlers did vacationing too brings it out even more
10:08there's a lot of freedom in the luthera this is cool this is awesome sometimes we're the only
10:12people on the beach you know things happen oh my all right let's go to the beach
10:28i can't wait to show you this house we ventured not into current settlement this is like a little
10:34village town only residential very secluded as you can see it's bush and undeveloped land on the left
10:40and right sides of us so you got that privacy you got the seclusion we want yeah you could go
10:45naked
10:47the house is a three-bedroom two bath this would be the caribbean side so you have a gorgeous beach
10:53at
10:53the backyard awesome and sean guess what the price is please tell me it's in our range at the top
10:59of your
11:00budget though one million dollars okay okay now you're speaking my language does it have a pool
11:07no pool but but lauren come on who needs a pool when you have the beach well we'll have to
11:12see
11:12what that beach looks like it's a beautiful beach it's very solid welcome to your oasis guys

11:56it's incredible the landscape is so beautiful i don't love that there's not a pool but what if we
12:03were to put one here you're gonna add to the price tag we finally got in our range right yeah
12:08but you
12:09know i really would love to have a pool which is another on this island easily 150 000 let's put
12:14that

12:39still be up to your waist let's go look in the inside though i'm curious to see what i haven't
12:44even looked at the house yet i just want to see this beach i love the covered outdoor space the
12:50seating
12:50area so nice i love the ceilings that's fantastic the furniture in here i don't think this is like a
12:58beach vibe um no it's definitely not i think we're gonna have to change out the furniture for sure
13:03oh i'm here in furniture pool i know we're at the top let's look at the kitchen yeah i do
13:10like how
13:11large the kitchen is i mean it's very open the sink would need to be replaced a little dated and
13:17the
13:18dishwasher maybe too now we're doing renovations i think i'm stressed because i want to spend a lot
13:25more than he wants to spend maybe not right away maybe i get the pool first oh i do like
13:32caviar
13:33no you don't you don't even like fish and we're i know but the the nice things of life okay
13:39okay
13:39this is nice nice size it's a great size i'm imagining you want to change the furniture yes i
13:45don't want to have to replace all of the furniture well we're going to have to do that now would
13:49you
13:49want to turn this into an office or something so we can work here you want to work while we're
13:54i mean

14:05me
14:06hope that we're going to be able to find something on this island the view is so important to me

14:11this is in our price range if i can get her not to have to have new furniture at least
14:15for a while
14:16if we can add a pool i think that i would be okay with this home it was beautiful i'm
14:23just this is

14:32incredible house there's a few things for me she has particular taste all right is this still in the
14:39running um all right is this still in the running um this gives me that water view that i was

14:56wonderful
15:02all right so we're jumping in together right yeah oh look at that it's so blue oh yeah no i'm
15:11not
15:11hoping in that they said it's kind of one of those things you got to do with a couple i

15:39always about work and doing and going however i have found the perfect spot that we can open a
15:45wedding venue here no this is our vacation spot i know but it's so pretty at least give me a
15:54wet hug you
15:55owe me i am so excited we're gonna be headed for rainbow bay settlement for residential community
16:07very private still developing okay it's actually gonna be the atlantic side you're gonna have some
16:13nice views so well you got a rocky road here yeah super rocky road but that adds to the seclusion
16:20and
16:20remoteness of this house guys you're gonna fall in love so this home sits on a 10 000 square feet
16:26lot you have an infinity pool that's heated and you could chill it oh wow this property actually just
16:32came on the market it's not perfect what is that it is being sold as is oh no oh come
16:39on give it give
16:40it some thought this is your construction zone here you still have some work to do yeah i see that
16:47but
16:47listen look past that everything you see here is only cosmetic and it's landscaping the house and
16:53the pool are done okay on the main house you have a two bedroom three bath and you have a
16:58beautiful
16:58one bedroom one bath cottage which adds a little bit of rental income for you so extra privacy for
17:03guests yeah and the entire property is 980 000 so you got some wiggle room there you got me under
17:09budget with the construction yes okay how i see it you got a little bit of shrubs and dirt you
17:15have to
17:15move around they're gonna get this property at somewhat of a steel the biggest challenge is
17:21seeing past the construction we're just gonna have to really fix this up for it to be as beautiful as
17:27the other properties you could always go at your own pace but now we have to work when we're here
17:31but we have a view it is you have a pool yes inside is amazing go on up and check
17:38it all right thank you
17:39i'll be here waiting for you thank you all right let's go look at your pool oh wow it's bigger
17:44than
17:44i thought oh wow god look at that view that view is incredible the only thing is is the beach
17:50isn't
17:50there you know so i can't like walk into the beach yeah but look at this place look at the
17:56water we're
17:57gonna have to you know add patio furniture you can't have a deck without i mean i could lay a
18:02nice towel down
18:03here okay yeah that's gonna work this is an awesome screened in porch oh wow this is so beautiful oh
18:13this is pretty i don't think we would have to change the furniture out that helps me a little bit
18:17with
18:17the deck furniture look at this chandelier very beachy vibe i'm loving it bar stools you can serve
18:23me wine i think that's the other way around you'll be serving me cocktails all right all right boss lady
18:29haha i like the kitchen this feels really light and airy in here it's kind of cool let's go see
18:34the
18:34bedroom come on well this room is uh tiny it's cozy wow look at the view even from the bathroom
18:43i can
18:43see the ocean while i take a shower the things that are important to you yeah this is a little
18:49tight we
18:50should try to squeeze in together look at that view wow look at this let's check out this bedroom
18:58this is pretty i really love the decor of these rooms it is a little small though this is a
19:04really
19:04cute little nook bed it's where your parents can stay when they come oh my gosh that is so rude
19:10it's
19:11so peaceful here yeah i just don't know about all this construction i don't know what this is going
19:17to cost to landscape make a driveway yeah this is a major issue for sure it's a little scary i've
19:23heard
19:24anything that you do on the island is going to be double what you think it's going to cost and
19:28it's
19:28going to take twice as long i don't know what this is going to cost to landscape make a driveway
19:36yeah this is a major issue for sure there you are guys hey what you think the house is great
19:43we haven't seen the cottage yet let's go check it out oh wow 600 square feet guys oh this is
19:50so cute
19:50everything you need in a one bedroom cottage guys yeah this is great what's your thoughts
19:55about everything else so with the construction stuff i think you know as much as we love the house
20:00that scares us a little bit because we do construction in houston and it's terrible there
20:05much less being on an island where it's hard to get things what it's going to cost obviously
20:08and how much we're going to have to do so i know we have a lot to discuss yes yeah
20:13this house hunt
20:14it's a really big decision a really big investment and if this is the wrong decision
20:19it's pretty tough to recover from so we want to make the right choice
20:29oh yes oh my goodness let's get in this thing we chose the blue ocean view house this house is
20:37everything we hoped it would be we know we made the right decision the yellow house didn't have a view
20:42that for me was the deal breaker and it was sitting at 1.2 over budget yeah the greenhouse had
20:48the
20:48view yeah like it was phenomenal yeah but it didn't have a pool and we would have to change the
20:54furniture
20:55oh i need my wine the construction it's actually not as stressful as what we thought it was going to
21:01be it's fun work because it's something that we are in love with we can actually design our own
21:06landscape which is fun for us well we could rent a boat let's run a boat and go up the
21:10coast we feel
21:12very blessed to be here just beyond blessed being here is very romantic for us it rejuvenates us and
21:20gets us ready to go back to houston and work on our businesses it makes us better as lovers as
21:27friends
21:28it's just done incredibly uh great things for us
21:31you
21:32you
