An outdoorsy couple are searching for a beach home on Whidbey Island in Washington. They want to find a house that will do well in the rental market, but will also serve as a vacation home for their growing family. The property must have easy beach access, a safe backyard for their young kids and unobstructed views of the water and mountains.

Rob and Elise never imagined they'd be searching for a beach house together on Washington's Whidbey Island when they first met, but their love of island life and unique situation made it a perfect match. He prefers no distinction between beach and backyard while she pushes for a contemporary retreat as this couple searches for the beach house of their dreams.

Carol and David are living in Grosse Pointe, MI and are on the hunt for a vacation house on the western shores of Lake Huron where they can focus on being a family with their three active kids. They both grew up in the harbor village of Lexington, MI and are hoping to find a beach retreat right on the shoreline that's not too far from family. With help from David's brother, they may just find what they are looking for.
