This 960 sq. ft. cozy beach cottage was built in 1978 on a .25 acre lot located in Kennebunk, ME.
Inside you’ll find three bedrooms and one bathroom. The best part is that you have views of the beach from inside and you’re just steps from the sand.
This property is actually for sale with an asking price of $1.3 million (ouch!). But really I just wanted to show you the little cottage because I think it’s a great small house design for a family to live simply in. What do you think?

This 640 sq. ft. 1-bedroom houseboat is in Seattle, Washington’s Lake Union community.
It was built back in 1920, according to Small House Bliss. Since that time it has been added onto which has made it less tiny. Inside you’ll find an office, bedroom, living area, kitchen, and more.
This floating home was listed for sale with an asking price of $670K (ouch!) but was actually sold for $490,000 (still an ouch!) according to Estately. If it were more affordable, how would you like to live in a floating cottage like this one right on the water? Please enjoy and re-share below. Thank you!

This 160 sq. ft. tiny cottage with a loft is absolutely beautiful, isn’t it? This tiny house is located on a farm south of Stockholm. It’s there for guests (there’s a larger home on the property too).
For me, there’s something even more special about tiny houses without wheels. It’s just so classic and simple. I love it. How about you? I like the covered front door and I also really like the colors they used (red, white, teal, and black). It’s just awesome, isn’t it?
When you go inside you’ll find open living space, a tiny kitchen, and an upstairs sleeping loft. That’s about it! There’s no bathroom inside because there’s a wonderful separate bathhouse with dual showers. That’s where your washer/dryer is located, also. What do you think of this setup? Would it work for you?

This 700 sq. ft. tiny cottage is located in Plymouth, NH and is used as a vacation rental by the owners. You can actually book a night in it yourself if you want to using Airbnb.
Inside you’ll find a little kitchen, living room, two loft bedrooms, and a bathroom. Outside there’s a beautiful porch and you’re surrounded by gardens. Plus it says it’s located where you can walk to town. Sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it?
Can you imagine yourself living in a little house like this one? I think 700 sq. ft. is a really good size because it’s still small and easy to manage but you still get enough space for whatever it is you might like. Please enjoy, re-share and leave us with your best thoughts in the comments below. Thank you!

In this video based post you’ll get to see how a family of five lives in an 850 sq. ft. small house that’s 100 years old. And if you do the division, that’s only 170 sq. ft. per person. So if you really wanted to, you can say that they’re living tiny, right?
But it’s really more of a ‘normal’ small house with fenced in yard (which is great!). They even bought a shed that they’ll later on be turning into a tiny house to use as a guest house later on. You can get the full story from Talya Rose in the video below so you can learn how and why they’re living in this little home as a growing family.
I think they made a great decision for their life long-term because it seems like this house will work well for them for many years to come if not for the rest of their lives. What do you think about families and tiny houses? In your opinion, should they go tiny or go small instead? Please share your best thoughts in the comments below. Thank you.

As you already know tiny houses are big trend right now. And it seems to be growing more and more, doesn’t it? We’re constantly seeing tiny homes on national television, big name websites like Yahoo!, and people are talking about them everywhere. But is it really just a trend or is it an ever-growing movement towards a better way of life?
Why Tiny Houses Are So Popular
Why? I think it’s because tiny houses represent an inspiring kind of freedom that’s ultra-simplified. We thought we needed so much more until we looked at a tiny house, right? That’s what happened to me! A beautifully designed and built tiny home gets us to question it all, don’t you think?
Tiny Housing – Here to Stay or Gone Tomorrow?
But are tiny houses just a trend or are they here to stay? And will the idea grow even more? I’ve been writing about and sharing tiny homes and simple living ideas almost every day since 2009 when I only had 3 readers. Right now some people who have been following the movement for several years are angry and even afraid because the idea has become so popular. They’re afraid that this will mean tiny houses will only be available for the rich. That they won’t be affordable.
The Future of Tiny Living (And Affordability)
I think that’s nonsense. For me, the opposite is true. And I hope it is for you too. The growing popularity makes me excited and hopeful because it means that we are closer to a place where the majority of people actually accept tiny homes as homes which means there will be more of them available and prices for them will actually come down.
