A couple is ready to leave the isolated island of Nantucket, Mass., for tropical Merritt Island, Fla., so they can escape long winters and stay active by spending more time outdoors; they seek a home with an open concept and a room for his man cave.

A young, southern couple decides to buy their first home in Gulf Shores, Alabama. They both grew up vacationing in the area and love the family-friendly community and close proximity to several beaches. They hunt for a home with a fenced-in yard for their dogs and an updated interior.
