And it's hurricane-rated! She loves her cozy & wonderfully manageable home for her golden years, near family. She owns a lovely lot at the welcoming Peacewind Cottage & Tiny Home Community. ❤ *Tour the Peacewind village in Cocoa, FL:* ua-cam.com/video/ntJqXk-eU2w/v-deo.htmlsi=9avvZDrOZkQrEiEI

    My heart warmed up when she said she basically likes everyone where she lives.
    What an inspiring woman, and what a loving mom she has (nowdays, not at all understandable)
    It does seems like transitioning to tiny housing makes you choose what's really important (physically and emotionally)
    That tiny house is the PERFECT SIZE. I absolutely love that is on on one level. Much more practical than a tiny house with 2 lvls (when one is the sleeping area where you basically can't fully stand on your legs)
    God bless that amazing woman
    Thank you for this inspiring video

    I really like the 500 sq ft size and width of this tiny home. I think it is just much more practical for full time living, with ample storage. It doesn’t feel cramped at all. I like the neighborhood feeling she gets in this community too. Bless her, her mom & pup! Thank you for sharing your home with us. 🙏🏻✝️🏡🦮

I would love to own my own house again, and when I do I will look for something like what you have. I like the second bedroom that's a must for me. Good sized bathroom, living space is enough to be comfortable and functional.

This beautiful lady is living my dream life. She is "rich" beyond measure and I'm so happy for her. Unfortunately I have to share my home with a hoarder...grand scale....there is no way out for me. I would LOVE a little house like this and especially I would love a dog. All my dreams for that are gone, but I really enjoy watching channels like this. 🩷🏡🩷

I am 71 and need to get more organized without so much to deal with plus a storage bill each month. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

    Beautiful tiny home & owner. Love her furniture & design elements, interior & exterior. I didn't know Cornerstone made tiny foundation homes. This is too expensive for me. I wonder if they make a 1 bdrm. model. I live in Sanford, Fl, which is NE of Orlando; Cocoa is SE, near the coast. Glad to hear her home is hurricane-rated. I live in a 600+ sq ft apt, which is too big for me since I have mobility issues. I'm very lonely. Would love to live in this community where people look out for each other. 🦩🌴

      Yes, Cornerstone has many different designs. They are also wonderful people who build beautiful, perfectly crafted homes. My overall cost is also misrepresented in that I think the house started at about $125. It was also the most expensive model at the time we purchased.

    I came across this video and seen it was a tiny house but not one you can pick up and move. I would love to live in a home like hers if I was alone and living out my life. She’s very intelligent you can tell by the way she talks. Decluttering is what I’m doing now and it’s making my life more simple and enjoying life. My mother told me when we were growing up. I asked her one day how come we don’t have a lot of pictures on the walls and she said they were nothing but dust collectors. It wasn’t that she didn’t like things is that it was the truth. I love everything about this little house what I call it also living in a community where everyone looks out for each other is wonderful. My mother was just like hers a very giving person she passed away in 2015 and I was able to pay off my home Updated and a lot of things. So hopefully one day I’ll be able to sell. His house is little bit too big and have something she does. This was a great video and what a wonderful woman and her mother.

    Not silly at all f9r having a 2nd bedroom for storage. Personally I feel that is a smart move. Yiur not forking out extra money for a storage unit for extra clothimg holiday decoration, documents, picture, important stuff thatbdoesnt need ro be out but needed incase of irs or some other issue. Yiur hime is adorable. Love it.

    Re: bedroom closet. Lower the hanging clothes pole and lower the top shelf.
