The Traveler was the model that put ESCAPE on the map, and the XL is the version people still hunt for on the resale market. The reason is the ceiling: a cut-away, clerestory-lit roofline that gives the main living space real vertical volume. Paired with the sealed pine interior the Traveler is known for, it produces a warmth that newer, whiter tiny houses rarely match.

The layout is unusually practical for a THOW. There’s a private first-floor bedroom with a queen bed, built-in nightstand, closet, and ceiling fan — a real room behind a real door, not a loft. The kitchen carries stone countertops, a stainless convection range with venting microwave, a tall fridge-over-freezer, and a proper pantry. The bathroom holds a stone-top vanity, a tub/shower, and a laundry center. A ladder leads to a second-floor loft that works as a guest bed or storage.

This particular unit sat on Lot #7 at the original ESCAPE Tampa Village, next to the pool, and sold as a home-plus-lot-lease package — $119,515 for the house with lot rent of $595/month covering water, sewer, garbage, private deck, landscaping, gated security, and parking.

Editor’s note: this unit was offered at a $10K discount in 2023 and has sold. ESCAPE Tampa Bay Village regularly lists other units, and current tiny homes for sale are linked below.

He lives in a Boho XL and was one of the first residents to move in. A few miles from where Mark’s original home was destroyed in Fort Myers, another ESCAPE Boho XL survived the hurricane virtually untouched, demonstrating the build quality of these tiny homes.
