Snowbird Sanctuary in Huatulco, Mexico (63x6)

Air date: Feb 12, 2014

For the last five years, George and Kathy have made Huatulco, Mexico their getaway from the cold Canadian winters. They love the area so much that they've decided that renting a home there is no longer an option. They want to own a piece of paradise. What they can't agree on, is what their winter home should look like. George likes a modern muted style while Kathy is looking for bold Mexican flair with lots of bright colors. Not only is their style different but also their spending sense. Kathy enjoys the finest things in life and will spare no expense to make sure her dream home's design is exactly how she wants it. George is worried about his wife's expensive tastes getting out of hand, and since he is the one postponing retirement to help finance their retreat, he wants to keep things to his 1.2 million dollar budget. But with homes in pricey Huatulco at a premium, real estate agent Valerie Verhalen will have a tough time keeping George's sticker shock to a minimum. Watch as George and Kathy try to keep their snowbird dream home from flying away in Huatulco, Mexico.
