00:00The time.
00:00Now we are empty nesters.
00:03We have five children, and we have five grandchildren.
00:05Our children are living their lives,
00:07and we're ready to be free and live the life
00:09that we want to live.
00:10And that's it.
00:12And Vacation Felton is a fun guy.
00:15What I realized is I like island life.
00:20Now we heard about this little piece of the conch right here.
00:22Eat it.
00:23The noodle.
00:24And so that lit the fire.
00:30So if we were to move here, we'll never be bored.
00:32That's a good aphrodisiac.
00:33That's what I heard.
00:34I'm in trouble later.
00:37Now is the time.
01:00All day, all day, so fabulous with the one you love, so fabulous with the one you trust, so fabulous.
01:06I like to venture into the unknown.
01:08One thing I did know is that what we had been doing, we already done that for 30 years.
01:12Living in the National Harbor in Maryland, we worked 24-7.
01:16I mean, it just didn't end.
01:18Baby, don't you know you're fabulous.
01:20I had my own home health care company, 400 employees with four offices all over the state
01:26of Maryland.
01:26I am a project manager, IT consultant.
01:29I just started working for myself.
01:31And I just recently sold my company.
01:33And now we are expanding our portfolio of properties.
01:36But I want to make sure I don't end up going back to work, work, work, work, work, 10-12
01:42hours
01:42a day.
01:43Which is why we're here.
01:44And I hope we find our dream house so that we can make this a part of our lifestyle.
01:49Hey, guys.
01:50There he is.
01:51Finally made it to Exuma.
01:53Hey, Cal.
01:53How you doing?
01:54Nice.
01:55Exuma is made up of 365 islands and keys scattered across Caribbean Sea like diamonds.
02:02So one of the most popular beaches, Jolly Hall is right there.
02:05You want to go check it out?
02:06I'll do.
02:07Exuma is so unique because it still has that seclusion, that privacy.
02:11You can't find any street lights, no fast food chains, the serenity that you find here
02:17is unmatched.
02:18So what are your ideals in a home?
02:21What are you looking for?
02:22My preference would be like a two level home, about 3,000 square feet.
02:27A good amount of space for like when the kids come visit.
02:30Keeping it simple.
02:31Yeah.
02:32House, beach, ocean.
02:34Nothing else.
02:35I want to be on the water.
02:36When I get up in the morning, I want to walk to it.
02:38Should it have a pool?
02:39You're reading my mind.
02:40A pool is nice, but I would actually put a higher value on having a space where I can
02:46grow fruits, vegetables, just have a nice little garden.
02:49I really like nice outdoor spaces.
02:52Very nice.
02:52Where you can lounge.
02:53I would love to sit outside all day too, but I'm really into making interior spaces
02:57beautiful.
02:58So for me, an open space would be ideal.
03:01All right.
03:01It sounds good.
03:02She's inside, I'm outside.
03:03One other thing that's very important to me is when I am inside, I like to cook.
03:07So I like a nice modern kitchen with some space.
03:10Nice.
03:10With that being said, what is the budget?
03:14Our budget is $1.2 million.
03:16Any wiggle room with that?
03:18$1.2 million is our budget.
03:20Yeah.
03:20So that's the thing, guys.
03:21When it comes to the market here, it's a lot of demand, very little inventory.
03:26Because there's no chain hotels here.
03:28Persons buy second homes here, and they rent it out as a vacation home.
03:32So that might be a little tight.
03:35We know you're going to pull a wrap out of your head.
03:37Let's go.
03:38Let's do it.
03:48So we're at one of the most exclusive communities in Exuma.
03:53This property is out of your budget, but you got to just see this house.
03:56We like a little bit of a contrast.
03:58This has resort-like amenities, the tennis courts, and spa plus convenience because we
04:04are in the heart of Georgetown.
04:06Sabrina in Felton has expressed simple wants.
04:10However, they need some understanding of this real estate market.
04:14Where does a million dollars put you?
04:17I'm just showing you this so you can have an idea what the market is like here.
04:21This house is 6,000 square feet, five bedrooms, five vats, and you have a dock at the back.
04:27These properties normally range between five to seven million.
04:30So are there money trees planted anywhere here?
04:33Because we're going to have to shake one.
04:34What I'm about to show you is located in the beautiful capital of Exuma, Georgetown.
04:41It overlooks the Elizabeth Harbor where the rich and famous wants to park their yachts.
04:46It's not right on the water, but this community has also resort-like amenities.
04:52You have a pool.
04:53You're at walking distance from the beach, which is only three minutes.
04:56Okay.
04:56So here we are, guys.
04:59Okay.
05:00I see palm trees.
05:01Back to these colors, too.
05:05Welcome to this beautiful four bedroom, two and a half bath.
05:08Just over 3,000 square feet of living space.
05:10And you got a little vegetable garden area.
05:13And it's priced at 1.2.
05:16Okay.
05:17You're speaking his language.
05:18I'll be out here.
05:19Take a look.
05:19Oh, okay.
05:20Okay.
05:20Sounds good.
05:21Let me carry you across the threshold.
05:23Not yet.
05:25I like the wood on the ceilings.
05:28It's nice and airy, huh?
05:29I like it a lot.
05:30Look at here.
05:30We got us a card table, games, and most importantly, a bar.
05:35Mmm.
05:36And you know I love a good sectional.
05:38Let's see.
05:39Sitting down.
05:40We're cozy.
05:41And look at what we're doing.
05:42We're looking at a wall.
05:44And the water's back there.
05:46Why did I know you would say that?
05:48Those are adjustments that can be made.
05:50Looking at that, and I can touch the ceiling.
05:52Ooh, that's not good.
05:54Ooh, this is a nice bathroom.
05:55Nice bathroom.
05:56Yeah, it's very nice.
05:57Modern.
05:58So I really like this lantern here.
06:01I think they got short windows, looking at rocks, and looking at a street.
06:05You see a street, I see palm trees.
06:08We did meet on a site, and we decided to meet at this restaurant in town.
06:13And me being a military guy, I'm always early.
06:15And Sabrina being Sabrina is always almost on time.
06:20Ooh, shots fired.
06:22This time, you're looking at a rock.
06:24We agree that we're looking at a rock.
06:25And so I got a chance to see her before she saw me, and she checked all the boxes.
06:30All the boxes.
06:31Let's go upstairs.
06:32Okay.
06:33We probably talked until 3, 4 in the morning.
06:35I think we were both tired from work the next day.
06:37And so that's when it all sort of began.
06:41Wow.
06:42This is impressive.
06:43Ceilings I can't touch.
06:45All right.
06:45We're redeeming.
06:46Look at this view.
06:48Nice.
06:49This is the money.
06:51I mean, it's not house, beach, water, but that is pretty impressive.
06:57It's beautiful.
06:58It is very beautiful.
06:59Just like you.
07:00Ooh.
07:02Sweet.
07:04You're welcome, baby.
07:04That'll get you some points.
07:06Let's see the rest of it.
07:07Yeah.
07:07Let's see.
07:10In here is even better.
07:12Now, this kitchen, I like space.
07:14This house is checking a lot of boxes.
07:17Some of them.
07:18Not all of them.
07:19You can just come in turnkey.
07:21I won't stay in my money.
07:21You just take your 1.2 and we're good.
07:24I have one word for this room.
07:26I got two words for this room.
07:34Big is one word to describe it.
07:36I got two words for this room.
07:39No view.
07:40Yeah, there's no order in the primary, but you can walk right out and see it.
07:43I won't walk out and see it.
07:44The bathroom is amazing.
07:46And a vanity.
07:48That's fine, too.
07:49No, that's good for me.
07:50It's all business for me until we make a purchase and make a house our home.
07:54Then we can fall in love with it.
07:55But until then, we're just dating.
07:58The house.
08:01There he is.
08:02The man with the plan.
08:04How was it?
08:05A lot of square footage to cover.
08:06I actually love the house.
08:07I like that there is like a separation of space with upstairs and downstairs.
08:11Nice.
08:12I know Felton doesn't care too much about that, but I'm the inside.
08:15He's the outside.
08:16Two levels are indoor and outdoor.
08:17But for 1.2 million, can't even hear the ocean.
08:20Felton, I know you're crunching the numbers.
08:23This is still in the running?
08:24This is in the running.
08:25Yeah, okay.
08:26Nice job.
08:26100%.
08:27All right.
08:27You thought about me when you brought us here, and I appreciate that.
08:31I'm living for the high life.
08:34I'm feeling like it's my time.
08:36This looks cool.
08:38Yeah, this is something you've never seen before, Felton.
08:40Yeah, this is unique and fun, man.
08:41I like to say data analytics put us together.
08:44All right, I'm gonna go with your speed.
08:46My speed is slow.
08:47Okay.
08:47And you gotta give it some torque.
08:49Felton is more, you know, serious.
08:51He's more business.
08:53He's the CFO of the family.
08:55I'm also a CFO, but I'm Chief Fun Officer.
09:00Follow me, babe.
09:01Being here in Exuma, I think the slow down pace and lifestyle will give us more time together.
09:08I thought you were going slow.
09:10I agree 100% with that.
09:13I think it's gonna make things heat up in areas we might not have thought about.
09:17And that is something that's speaking to my whole soul.
09:26How you guys liking Exuma so far?
09:28It is everything we dreamed of.
09:30Nice, nice.
09:31So this is in the Jimmy Hill area.
09:35This is a very exclusive community.
09:38Jimmy Hill is so desirable because it stretches for 6.2 miles of untouched, pristine white sand.
09:46Wow.
09:47This property sits on half an acre.
09:49So you got some areas to do your vegetable garden.
09:52And it comes with a lot of amenities.
09:54You got the house, the beach, and ocean.
09:57That's the amenity.
10:00Look at that water.
10:02Yeah.
10:03Oh, my God.
10:07So that there is your two-bedroom, three-bath.
10:11And the price, $1.4 million.
10:15Oh, my.
10:17Well.
10:18That is $200,000 different than our budget.
10:21And to justify that, you're right on the water.
10:25So why don't you guys take a look?
10:26I'll be out here waiting for you.
10:27All right.
10:30Stunning.
10:31I'm in heaven.
10:32What I see is blue water and no obstructions.
10:36I see cheese and crackers, baby.
10:39But that water is beautiful.
10:42Let's see what this pool looks like.
10:44Do you see that pool deck?
10:45This is awesome.
10:47That cabana could be something.
10:49Yeah.
10:49On a good night with a glass of wine.
10:51What the pool and the ocean does to my soul relaxes me.
10:55It's one of those things.
10:56We move so fast all the time that this makes me feel like my soul can catch up to my
11:02body and we can be at peace.
11:04Never get me inside.
11:05I never get you inside anyway.
11:07So he could actually put his bed outside and stay here.
11:11Let's go see the inside.
11:16Oh, look at this.
11:21Wow.
11:22It is.
11:23Look how tall this ceiling is.
11:25It's the island life I want.
11:27Yes.
11:28Indoor, outdoor, living.
11:32Oh, wow.
11:35This is delivering.
11:37It's not overdone.
11:38Not a lot of countertop space.
11:40So if it had an island.
11:42Yeah, babe, but that's more money.
11:44You know what?
11:45Let's not think about money right now, okay?
11:47It's probably a tie about who's going to be more stubborn.
11:50Who knows?
11:51Let's look.
11:52If it's something about money, I'm going to be a heck of a lot more stubborn than she is.
11:57Stubborn in the sense that I don't want to spend it.
11:59And she's trying to spend it.
12:01Oh, my gosh.
12:01The light in this room.
12:03Whoa.
12:04Ooh.
12:06Okay.
12:07Is it cozy?
12:08Is it comfy?
12:08Very comfy.
12:09I mean, you literally can wake up in the morning.
12:11Looks like you're getting comfortable.
12:15Comfortable with the 1.4.
12:17I didn't say anything about that.
12:18I said that that was a beautiful view.
12:21It's a nice bathroom.
12:22Nice and bright.
12:23I like that.
12:25Now we got to find the other bedroom.
12:27This looks like it might be it.
12:30Okay.
12:32And it is beautiful as well.
12:34I can see myself waking up every day to this.
12:37Let's check this bathroom out.
12:38It is huge.
12:40We have a lot of fun in here.
12:41We can only afford it.
12:43I want Kyle to go find us $200,000.
12:47Hey, guys.
12:48Well, we love the house too much.
12:50I mean, I'm sacrificing the two levels if we were to choose this property.
12:53Yeah.
12:53But I think it's a small sacrifice because it has all the things that we said we wanted when we
12:58moved to the Bahamas.
13:00Nice.
13:00But there is one hindrance here.
13:02When we came out of the main house, we had to come out to go into the second bedroom.
13:06So I'm not sure about that.
13:08As much as I love this and I love her, I just don't know how the math is going to
13:13matter.
13:13But you are looking at a $5 million view, right?
13:18Easily.
13:18Yeah.
13:19But I want to know if there are any other options that gets us down by our budget.
13:25I'll take a look and we'll regroup in the morning.
13:35Hey, guys.
13:36Hey!
13:37Vacation Felton is here.
13:39Let's get this party started.
13:41Woo!
13:42Felton is serious about most things.
13:45Check one, two.
13:46Check one, two.
13:47However, there is a side of Felton that I named Vacation Felton.
13:52I'm going to sing a song for y'all.
13:55Oh!
13:56I love Vacation Felton and I try to bring it out every chance I can get.
14:00She is the yang to my yang when it comes to that.
14:05It doesn't matter how hard you're working, Sabrina is always going to find a way to say,
14:09hey, it's time for us to go have some fun.
14:12I'm sure Vacation Felton will come out a little bit more because this island just breeds fun.
14:19Let me just say this. Vacation Felton gives you the thrills, but serious Felton pays the bills.
14:25Hey.
14:34Oh, look at this Exuma sign. That's nice.
14:37This highway here is what we call Jimmy's Hill.
14:40And this house is in the Moss Town settlement.
14:44It's a three bedroom, two bath, and it sits on an acre of land.
14:49You actually have 200 feet of beach frontage.
14:52Does it have a pool?
14:53Yeah.
14:54At this point, I'm going to really try to give Felton and Sabrina just a sprinkle of everything they're asking
14:59for.
15:00But price is going to still be a factor.
15:03And here we are.
15:06I like the color on the house.
15:10How much are we talking?
15:11It is at $1.3 million.
15:14Oh, he was doing well.
15:15You see how he slid that in there?
15:17We got a $100,000 problem.
15:19Let's check it out.
15:21Wow.
15:23Lots of palm trees.
15:24Your garden is to the front and Felton's garden is in the back.
15:28Take a look inside. I'll be out here waiting for you guys.
15:31All right, look at this.
15:34It's exciting.
15:36Oh, wow.
15:38This is nice. It's nice and bright in here.
15:40I like it.
15:41It's just, it's not as big as what we would probably prefer.
15:44I'll tell you what, look at that right there.
15:47Now we're talking.
15:48Kyle did his job.
15:50Well, what do you know?
15:51It's not the primary suite, but this bedroom definitely has a view to all that glory outside.
15:56You know, but it's off the kitchen, baby.
15:58Yeah.
15:58There's no privacy.
15:59Let's see what else is going on here.
16:02You almost have a sectional here.
16:03What's that room back there?
16:05Let's go check that out.
16:06I guess this is the primary.
16:08What do you think?
16:09It's nice and cozy.
16:11You know what I'm not seeing?
16:13See this?
16:17Where's the view?
16:18We got to literally open this door.
16:20Well, note that.
16:22Noted.
16:22It's an ensuite, and it has two sinks.
16:26That's good.
16:29Whoa.
16:31Is this enough ocean for you?
16:33There it is.
16:34Yes.
16:35Look at this pool.
16:36Mmm.
16:37It's right up against the house.
16:38I've never seen that before.
16:40Up against the house?
16:41Behind the dune?
16:42No clothes on pool.
16:43That's what that means.
16:44It's giving a lot.
16:45So that whole 100K over budget?
16:49No, no.
16:49I'm not ready to talk about that.
16:51Just walk the plank.
16:53How about that metaphor?
16:54Yeah, I love it.
16:56Stunning.
16:57It's amazing.
16:58Stunning like you?
16:59Well, thank you.
17:00Mmm.
17:02What you think?
17:03Oh, my man.
17:05That outside, that beach, never have to come inside.
17:09But I live inside with her.
17:11The inside of the house, I really love the common areas, the open space.
17:15Con to that is that I was a little concerned about the privacy in the bedrooms.
17:18Each bedroom is attached to a common area.
17:22You know, with all of that being said, it's over budget.
17:25My biggest priority is remain the same, is that I want to be on the beach for $1.2 million.
17:31I feel that there is a little wiggle room if we need to go up a little bit more to
17:36get what we want.
17:45We have cost to consider. We have comfort to consider.
17:49Well, you know, I didn't realize for our $1.2, we were going to have to work this hard to
17:56pick between some great locations.
17:59You know, I thought the blue house was nice, but I didn't particularly care for the fact that the primary
18:04suite, there were no views.
18:06I would feel like I'm not on the water and I can't hear the ocean.
18:09Right. So I don't think that would work out too well.
18:11The modern house was phenomenal.
18:14I really don't know. We can really afford that.
18:17At least tell me what you liked about it.
18:18That house made me feel. I could see us around that pool all day long.
18:23I just wish Kyle could see his way to $200,000 less.
18:27So then there was the beach house.
18:29The outdoor was everything.
18:32It was amazing.
18:33A 10 plus for me.
18:34It was.
18:35Probably have to do some upgrades, which means you would probably have to spend a little bit more.
18:40No, that one was already $100,000 over budget, but I didn't see any money trees planted.
18:45They had a lot of trees. I didn't see any. None of the trees were money trees.
18:49But you know, either way, whatever we end up with, I'm going to be here with you spending more time.
18:54I like that.
18:55And I love you.
18:56I love you too.
19:02We chose the modern house.
19:04All right, baby. Here we are.
19:06In our dream home.
19:07We decided to go over our budget.
19:09I thought about what house do we want to be in five years, 10 years from now.

19:32Look at that, dude. Never gets old.
19:33Date nights look a little different now, as opposed to eating out like we would back home.
19:38We come home, we cook. It's so romantic.
19:41Candles are lit. They smell good.
19:44What do you think?
19:46Not good.
19:47Pretty good?
19:47Being here, there are less distractions, so the intimacy has grown and more.
19:53This has really been a dream come true for us.
