Pet-lovers will appreciate the pet-friendly patio, fitted with retractable screens on all openings to ensure your furry companions remain safely within sight. Inside, the property is cleverly constructed from two shipping containers, providing a compact yet cozy living space of 540 square feet.

This tiny house comfortably sleeps two on a queen bed and two on a full bed in the separate container. Additionally, we do have a “queen” sofa bed in the living room that’s great for one adult or a couple of kids.
