We’ve shared the awesome octagonal house on Shellmate Island with you before, but now it’s officially available to rent on Airbnb!

For a little backstory, Tim & Sam bought a THOW, Tiffany the Tiny Home, more than three years ago. They ended up buying an island in Florida to give Tiffany a full-time home, and then built their octagonal vacation home by Deltec Homes on the property (following all the proper codes!). Now Tiffany lives full-time on the 1.5 acre island along with the vacation home which you can rent on Airbnb!

Tiny House Tours did an interview with Tim about living in Tiffany, and the financials of tiny house living. He has now paid of Tiffany, and the rental income is taking care of his mortgage and other expenses. Wow! Watch the video below.

Matt and JoAnna bought a home and kept sinking money into it. When they saw other families turning to school bus life, they decided to join their ranks and move their family of five (three boys, ages 7, 5 and 6 months) into a bus home!

In terms of family-friendliness, this bus conversion checks all the boxes: There’s a spacious living area for family time, a kitchen with all the counter space for prepping family meals, a tub, a washer/dryer unit, and bunks for the kids and a private bedroom for mom and dad.

Tiny Home Tours took us on a bus walkthrough which you can watch below. Plus you’ll get the details on their bus name, “Businante.”

Nick and Katie didn’t start their bus conversion planning on living in it full-time, but once they got into creating a home out of their 1995 GMC 3500HD Vandura, they couldn’t go back to their old life.

Two years and nine National Parks later, they have no plans of leaving their nomadic life anytime soon. The interior of the bus (@RobinTheBus) was built with their loves in mind, with space for cooking, baking, entertaining and even a sewing machine!

They can climb on the rooftop to hang out, and they stay warm with their mini wood stove. A motorcycle they attached to a back deck allows them to make quick runs to the store without driving their whole home with them. Enjoy the video from Tiny Home Tours below!

Kasie and Nathan sold their three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a two-car garage and a yard and moved into their DIY Ram Promaster van conversion for a year on the road.

Two months in, the couple (@steckeradventures) is loving their solar-powered van home, complete with a sneaky little box compartment for their cat, Rory, and a shower stall with cassette toilet eliminating the need for gym bathrooms.

They do most of their cooking in an Instant Pot, and use a dorm fridge to keep food cool. One awesome part of the van is that both the passenger and driver seat swivel around, meaning they didn’t need to build in additional storage. Watch the full tour from Tiny Home Tours below.

This is to let you know about this Minnesota Tiny House vacation experience hosted by Kim on Airbnb. The tiny house is located right on Minnesota Lakeshore out of Faribault, Minnesota.

It’s a 267-sq.-ft. home on wheels, parked with an oversized deck, all overlooking the lake which you can kayak on if you want to. Did you know, this THOW was featured on Tiny House Nation back in 2015, it’s on Season 1, Episode 8, according to the Airbnb listing? You can probably watch the episode on Amazon.

The family that owns it lived in it for 4-and-a-half-years, but once their kids grew up, they decided to have more space. So now they share their tiny house with the community as a vacation rental experience. How cool is that?
