About the host
Hosted by Shelley
My family has lived on the island for 26 years and I always enjoyed visiting them, the ferry ride, the birds and wildlife, the fresh air and escaping the 'rat race', so I bought this tiny home as my special place.
Why they chose this property
I'm an advocate of tiny homes and this one is made from a 40 foot shipping container and is very liveable especially with the bifold doors onto the deck bringing the outside into the home.
What makes this property unique
In a tiny home every item must be carefully selected to enable full enjoyment of the space and versatility and be uncluttered. The home has a 5 Star Building Energy Rating including insulated ceiling, walls and floor, double glazed tinted windows with ceiling fans in the bedroom and family room.
