For some, the tiny home lifestyle can be an exercise in minimalism, but for one man who was used to living on a boat, it was a luxury.
"I don't need excesses and I don't need these superyacht-style lifestyles to be happy," said the homeowner in a recent TikTok video. "Just a small space, the rainforest, the beach, that's enough to make me happy; it's all I really need."

The story was shared by Living Big in a Tiny House (@livingbiginatinyhouse), a channel dedicated to sharing the experiences of those who live in tiny homes around the world. This one was described as "A stunning tiny home in a subtropical paradise."
The owner had plenty of exposure to a more wealthy and opulent lifestyle. "I basically drive yachts for the rich and famous," he explains in the video.
But opulence isn't what he's after. "The one thing I'm always sort of craving for is a bit of alone time that I can just zone out and chill out."
In his beautiful tropical getaway, that's what he gets. The video shows a small, secluded getaway with a comfortable outdoor deck, tucked into a small cleared area in a rainforest. The lush vegetation and towering trees provide an enchanting view through the luxurious windows, and the beach is only a short walk away.

"What a beautiful house, it has so much character and charisma. I love the stairs up and the fact you can see the tree stumps to the ride side — such great features. The open rainforest around it definitely makes it feel so much more open," said another commenter.
