Will Fiona and Andy be willing to wipe their life savings clean for the Caribbean house of their dreams? Or will the budget war of attrition result in a plane ride back to the England? Find out, when House Hunters hits the shores of what HGTV refers to as the wildest isle of the Antilles – Dominica!

Soon we will all hear this house was robbed I mean we are in Dominica who shows someone the inside of a house unless they want to get robbed there will be a lot of maybe disturbing comments after this but its true
he has been living Dominica for years now and his house has never been robbed… why now?
HGTV’s House Hunters is always enjoyable and their international version has been even more so…never thought I would see Dominica featured though. What a wonderful surprise and clean feature of our lovely Dominica!
And what great views of the city and Caribbean Sea from the first two houses.. lovely Dominica!
Yup; the house is back on the market; still showing w/ their furniture so it appears since they spent ALL their $$ that they can’t go til it sells. Foolish people.
Great show! Good footage on Dominica.
DNO, for your information, SAT telecoms has HGTV as well
Nice show..I love HGTV but look l”argent (wow). I hope Dominica is all they expected and more… welcome you all. Makes me appreciate my country more when I see others love it so much….DOMINICA
Oh that house in Reigate is so beautiul and the owners are lovely people as well i was so excited to see my country on tv good luck and enjoy Dominica you are loved and appreciated god bless you.
We can as well put ‘FOR SALE’ flags around Dominica to attract foreigners. Why not?
agreed, very good point brother! The devil-upment they will will be their demise. The same has happened in all other Caribbean islands.
you’re dammmasss… And allu in other people country living on food stamps… smdhh… Stupid comments and u have another douche giving u thumbs up…
I enjoyed the show, however, the architects at home need better design ideas and use of space. For $750,000.00 the couple was able to purchase their dream home.
LOVED IT!!
Great show and it featured D/ca in a positive light. Property #2 was probably the best for them but they had to make a decision in a hurry which ruled it out from consideration.
They kids looked nice in their new and pressed uniform.
Just watched it and enjoyed every bit of it.
They picked the best property (I wont mention the price). Reigate (Kings Hill), just a 10 minute walk from me.
Welcome to Kings Hill. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Great show. i loved te way Dominica was marketed. HGTV is my favorite channel but seeing Dominica portrayed on there gave it a special place in my heart.
WHAT THE HECK!! US$700,000.00 FOR A DAMN HOUSE IN D/A THAT’S OVER $1.5 MILLION!!! AND THE LAST HOUSE WAS NOT WORTH THE US$500,000.00 AT ALL!! AM SELLING MY HOUSE FOR US$200,000.00 AND IS 4 BED ROOMS, BATHROOM, LIVING ROOM, KITCHEN, BIG VERONDA, AND NEAR THE BEACH, LESS THAN 10 SECONDS RUN TO THE SEA!! CLEAN BEACH!!!
Great show. Excellent exposure for the Nature Isle.Beautiful houses but yes bit expensive however, that the price for the pictures-tic views, inviting swimming pool and just imagine having a river running through your back yard and picking fresh grapefruit. We are used to paradise, but these people just made their dreams come true.
When we in DA don’t appreciate what we have, other will spend their life savings to get a piece of the pie.
LOVE YOU DOMINICA
I am shocked— 700,000 USD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is the average price for property in that area ?
Yes the price is very steep. Wouldn’t have thought that there is another property in the area that comes to anything as much as this one (even half as much).
The average person in Dominica could not afford such property, but you have to understand that to them its money well spent. They know that they could never afford a property like that for that price and with that view in the UK.
The average 4 bed detatched house, with pool, mature garden, guest house etc in the UK would be anything from £500,000 (2.1M EC$), and that depends on where in the UK.
A modest 4 bed terrace house in London (no pool, no guest house) is at least £300,000 – £400,000 (1.2M – 1.7M EC$),and that depends on where in London.
If you miss it on TV you can also find it on the net. google house hunters international and look for “Destined for Dominica”

I wonder what channel on Marpin or SAT? I will look for it. It sounds very interesting. I wonder what is the message in the episode? What is the director trying to convey? All these questions, hope to learn tonight in sha Allah.
The message is that people are trying to buy a house?
Read before you talk. It doesn’t take much time. The article states it right there.
massive I back you 100%. Some people seem to have something against taking a minute or 2 to read.
Dam we DA people need to lighten up. Everything with us is always so heavy.
It’s just a TV show Mam/Sir. About a British couple house hunting(shopping) in Dominica.It’s produced by Home and Garden Television(HGTV).
I hope that clears up the mystery for you.
