Just a reminder to anyone who enjoys House Hunter’s International, or who’s dreamed about a beautiful home on the beach – check out tonight’s show featuring Gary and April Scarborough, two friends we made during a visit to Puerto Cayo, Ecuador last May.
The storyline: Natives of Atlanta, the Scarboroughs owned two thriving businesses in 2008 – a home construction company, and an electrical company. When the economy crashed, they did extensive research on “cheap places to live,” and were consistently pointed in the direction of Cuenca, Ecuador.
Gary, April, and their children, Peyton and Carson, packed up their two dogs and 22 suitcases and headed for a new life in Cuenca. When Gary received the opportunity to build a beachside community in Puerto Cayo, on Ecuador’s Pacific coast, they moved once again to the quaint fishing village of Puerto Cayo.
They live there today, and the development of www.laspalmasecuador is experiencing great success as a first-class expatriate community.
Dana and I know the Scarboroughs and count them as friends and partners, as they are now overseeing the construction of a home we are building in Puerto Cayo. We were sold from Day One.
Check it out tonight at 9:30 CST on HGTV … and if you have further questions about life at Las Palmas please contact gary@laspalmasecuador.com or april@laspalmasecuador.com.

Steve, the episode aired on 10-4 & this time slot tonight is on Spain, according to the HGTV website. I know someone who saw the 10-4 airing already.
Sam: The HHI promo is erroneously labled as Spain. Same thing happened on Oct. 4. This IS the show about the Scarboroughs adventure in Ecuador!
How disappointing. It was indeed about Spain. The Puerto Cayo episode aired on 10-4.
Yes. Disappointing for us all. We were simply using the information HGTV gave us. I do have the October 4 clip on DVR and will try to get clips up on YouTube soon. Very sorry.
