Roxanne and Billy are the embodiment of Southern hospitality, charm, and just the right amount of Southern sass. Warm, welcoming, and always ready with a laugh, they’re the kind of couple who can light up a room, especially with Billy’s quick-witted one-liners. But don’t be fooled by their easygoing drawl. Roxanne is a retired law enforcement officer, and Billy has an impressive career spanning the police force, firefighting, para-medicine, and ultimately Battalion Chief. Don’t mess with this couple!
After a lifetime of high-stakes work, they’re ready to trade sirens for sunsets and spend their days by the water. Their love story is deeply tied to Panama City Beach. They’ve been coming to the Gulf Coast for decades. It’s also where Billy proposed all those years ago! Owning a beach house has always been the dream, but for most of their lives, it felt out of reach on a combined police and firefighter salary. However, that all changed after the passing of Billy’s mother. What began as an emotional and exhausting process of clearing out her Atlanta home turned into an unexpected opportunity when the house sold for more than they imagined. Now, that long-held dream is finally within reach.
Joining them on this journey is their son John, a firefighter himself and the perfect mix of mediator and comic relief. As their unofficial referee, John helps keep the peace when strong opinions clash, which is bound to happen with two people who have been married for over 30 years and know exactly what they want try to buy a beach home.
For Roxanne and Billy, this isn’t just a beach house, it’s a legacy home. A place where their sons, daughter-in-law, and grandkids can gather for years to come, filled with laughter, good food, and sun-soaked memories. But finding the right place won’t be easy. With a budget of $350,000 to $425,000, they’ll have to balance proximity to the beach with their must-haves, no small feat for a couple with strong opinions and high standards. If they can pull it off, the home will carry even deeper meaning. They plan to name it after Billy’s mother, turning their beach house into a tribute, a place where past, present, and future all come together on the Gulf Coast.
