Kizmat and James Tention from Marietta, Georgia along with their two children Steven and Anaya are in for a big surprise when House Hunters on Vacation surprises them with a dream vacation to the gorgeous Caribbean Island of St. Thomas. While James is busy with his full-time job as a technical engineer, Kizmat is pulling double duty as a full-time mom and going back to school at night for her college degree in psychology. Their nineteen year old son Steve is a college freshman so with two tuitions to pay for, there is little money to take a well-deserved family vacation until now. HGTV is picking up the tab to send the Tentions to tour three luxurious homes in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. The one they pick will be theirs for a week to enjoy. After seeing the three luxury homes the Tentions have a tough decision to make. Will they vacation in the Cliff House with the amazing outdoor gourmet kitchen? The Colorful Villa with the infinity pool? Or the Asian Inspired Retreat that comes with a private chef?
