BEACH HOME BUYERS: SISTERS: Charity & Michelle

Current Home: Palm City, FL

Beach House Hunting In: Indialantic, FL

Beach Home Budget: $475K

Inseparable, ride-or-die, and closer than close, these sisters are reuniting in Florida on a mission to find the perfect beach house. Charity is the dreamy, ocean-obsessed free spirit, while Michelle is the grounded, practical anchor who keeps them on track. Together they are a ball of fun and energy, you can’t help but fall in love with their sisterly love. The two were born in Germany to a Filipina mother and a European father, which meant growing up between cultures, traveling often, and being exposed to life across the Philippines and Europe, soaking in different languages, traditions, and of course… a wide variety of beautiful beaches. This beach home will belong to Charity and her husband, but her loyal sister Michelle is right by her side to help her find the perfect place.

For nearly two decades, that ocean life Charity always craved felt completely out of reach as she built a life in Houston with her husband and kids, where she had been living up until recently. Charity and her children have now made the move to Palm City, Florida to help care for her parents, which means moving back in with mom and dad while her husband remains in Houston temporarily to wrap up work obligations. Before her, Michelle and her family relocated to the area as well, making this a rare and perfect moment for the sisters to reunite and live closer togehter but also to take on this next chapter together. What does that mean? Finding Charity a beach house.

This home is especially meaningful for Charity because, for most of her adult life, she never had the opportunity to truly choose where or how she lived. Due to her husband’s work, their family spent years living on military bases, moving frequently and adapting to whatever was available. She made the best of every situation, but this is the first time she gets to call the shots, to choose a home, design it, decorate it, and create something that is fully hers. With her husband still in Houston for the time being, it’s Michelle who has stepped in as her partner in the process, offering both support and a grounded perspective as they search. With a budget of around $475,000, they’re looking for a home with character, room to grow, and not just close to the beach, Charity wants to be able to SEE and to walk to the ocean. She’s drawn to Indialantic for its laid-back, tight-knit beach town feel, where you can bike to local spots, walk to the water, and truly live that everyday coastal lifestyle without the crowds of bigger tourist hubs. It offers the charm, community, and proximity to both family and the ocean that Charity has been missing for years. And with her sister by her side, a long wish list in mind, and the pressure of bringing her family back together under one roof, the clock is ticking to find the right place, fast.

The Agent - Phelyna Ngu - Indialantic, FL

Phelyna Ngu is not your average real estate agent, she’s part beachside bestie, part savvy strategist, and part social connector with just the right amount of New York edge. Originally from New York, she made the leap to Florida over a decade ago and fully embraced the laid-back, sun-soaked lifestyle, now based in Melbourne and helping others do the same. After a career in dentistry, a major life shift pushed her to bet on herself, building a business that gave her flexibility as a single mom while tapping into what she does best, connecting with people and making big decisions feel easy. Working with Phelyna feels less like hiring an agent and more like gaining a sharp, honest friend who shows up with your coffee order, reads the room instantly, and isn’t afraid to tell you when that “cute fixer” is actually a disaster in disguise. She lives the beach life she sells, daily walks with a Yeti in hand, local hotspots on speed dial, and a deep understanding of what makes the Space Coast so special. Whether she’s guiding first-time buyers, negotiating deals, or helping entire families relocate and live blocks from each other, Phelyna brings heart, hustle, and a whole lot of personality to everything she does.
