Tiny Homes, Big Dreams: The Story Behind the First Tiny Home Motel in U.S.| Cape Charles, Virginia

‪@capecharlestinylivin5914‬
We're taking you on an incredible journey with Eric Hawkins, co-owner of Explore Cape Charles Tiny Livin’, a unique tiny home village on Virginia’s beautiful Eastern Shore. After 30 years of marriage, countless adventures, and 14 years of tiny living, Eric and his wife Sylvia stumbled upon an overgrown, forgotten piece of land in Cape Charles—a hidden gem they would turn into a dream come true.
