The eternal struggle between domestic bliss and coastal cool plays out in a new episode of House Hunters this Sunday, July 6, at 10:00 PM ET on HGTV. Titled “Santa Monica Serial Movers,” this installment finds a Los Angeles couple at odds over their next home, their desires pulling them in two very different directions.
One half of the pair, a food blogger, dreams of a sprawling house with a professional-grade kitchen, a space built for cooking and hosting parties. The other, a husband with a clear focus on the surfing lifestyle, leans hard toward a smaller, beach-adjacent place—the kind of spot where the ocean is merely steps away. It’s a classic House Hunters setup: two people, one budget, and highly contrasting visions of what “home” should be.
The show makes its living on the challenges and give-and-take involved in finding a home that suits everyone. This episode throws a spotlight on the unique real estate market of the Los Angeles area, particularly Santa Monica, where space is tight and beach access comes at a premium.
