Chris & Sherri + David + Arielle

Buyers: CHRIS & SHERRY - MARRIED COUPLE

Current Home (renting): Cape Coral, Florida

Beach House Hunting In: Cape Coral, Florida

Beach Home Budget: $400,000

Sherry and Chris are a fun, vintage-loving couple who recently traded in the cold winters of Arkansas for the beachy charm of Cape Coral, Florida. Tired of scraping windshields and dreaming of salt air, they sold their successful business and shifted careers. Chris now teaches while Sherry works as a memory care director. They moved their family into a rental home in the Cape Coral area. Their rental was a strategic choice: a full year to explore the area, soak up the laid-back coastal lifestyle, and make sure their next house is truly their forever home. With five kids ranging from elementary school to recent high school grad, they’re eager to put down roots in a walkable, safe, and sunshine-filled neighborhood where their children can bike, fish, and play by nearby beaches and water.

Sherry and Chris are not your typical homebuyers: they gravitate toward the quirky and the unconventional. Forget cookie-cutter homes; they’re on the hunt for a one-of-a-kind Floridian gem with old-school terrazzo floors, vintage charm, and hopefully a pink or blue toilet or tub. Budget-conscious by design, they’re drawn to homes most buyers might overlook: those delightfully dated properties with retro bones just waiting to be lovingly restored. Their must-haves include a canal with Gulf access a backyard so they can build their dream tiki hut and backyard oasis, a cul-de-sac for the kids, a garage for Chris’ workshop, and a walkable path to the sandy beach at the Cape Coral Yacht Club Public Beach. With decades of DIY experience and a shared passion for antiques, tiki flair, and all things eclectic, they are ready to turn a funky beach home into their forever Florida dream.
