In season 1 episode 7 of Tiny House Hunting, titled "Tiny Intervention in Cape Cod," viewers follow along as a family seeks out a tiny house in one of America's most popular holiday spots: Cape Cod.
The episode begins with the family of five realizing that their current living situation just isn't cutting it. After years of attempting to maximize space in their large home, they've decided they want to downsize and simplify their lives. For them, a tiny house seemed like the perfect solution to their problem.
Being able to travel and take their home with them was a major driving force behind their decision, with the family stating that they're ready to hit the road and experience everything that life has to offer.
The first tiny house that the family checks out is an energy-efficient, eco-friendly option. It's fitted with all the bells and whistles, from solar panels to a composting toilet and reclaimed wood finishes. The family is especially excited about the large windows that ensure the space is filled with natural light.
However, after stepping inside the tiny home, the family realizes that it may be a little too small for their five-person family. The lack of privacy in the loft area is a major concern for the parents, especially when it comes to their teenage daughter.
The second option is a stylish, tiny house on wheels that's located right on the beach. The family falls in love with the open-plan kitchen and living area, complete with a sleeper sofa for their son. The master bedroom, located at the back of the home, provides an additional level of privacy for the parents.
Yet, once again, size proves to be a sticking point for the family. While they love the beachside location, they're not sure if the home is spacious enough for their needs. They worry that their youngest daughter may not have enough room to play and move around comfortably.
Finally, the family checks out a unique tiny house that's been converted from a garage. The home is located just a few steps away from the beach, and the family falls in love with the stunning ocean views. Inside, they're impressed by the high ceilings and spacious living area.
The master bedroom is on the main floor, which is a major plus for the parents. They also appreciate the fact that the home has a separate loft area for their teenage daughter. The only drawback is the lack of storage space, but the family feels that they can get creative and find ways to make it work.
Ultimately, the family decides to go with the tiny house that was converted from a garage. While it may not have been their first choice, they feel that it's the perfect compromise for their family. The location, views, and layout all meet their needs, and the family is excited to start their journey in their new home.
As the episode comes to a close, viewers are left with a heartwarming reminder that tiny houses aren't just about downsizing or simplifying one's life; they're about finding a home that fits your lifestyle and goals. For this family, their tiny house is a way to explore the world and take on new adventures together.
