Frank and Monica are the kind of couple you notice immediately. They are full of energy, humor, and just the right amount of mischief. Frank, never one to miss a chance to get a laugh, is known for his bold beach antics, whether that’s strolling the shoreline in a thong or hauling his oversized beach chair like it’s part of the show. He’s a big, unfiltied, fun character!

But their move to the coast wasn’t just about fun, it was doctor’s orders. After retiring from the military and living in Virginia Frank was advised to trade stress for sea breeze, and a move to Panama City Beach did exactly that. It’s true, his doctor quite literally recommended that moving to the beach would decrease stress and improve his mood. Not only did it improve his health, it changed his life! He met Monica at church (of all places), left a flirty note that sparked something real, and soon became a devoted husband and proud bonus dad to her three kids.

Now, even though they’re already in Panama City Beach, it’s not quite close enough to the ocean. Frank’s still waving that doctor’s note, and this time, he’s determined to get as close to the Gulf as possible. They’re searching for the perfect beachfront escape: a place for family getaways, spontaneous date nights, and evenings that start at their favorite local bars and end just steps from their own front door. With a firm, all-in budget of $500,000 (including taxes and HOA fees), they’re ready to negotiate hard, stand their ground, and walk away if the numbers don’t make sense, even if they fall in love with the place.
