We thought our old 750 sq ft rental was tiny. Mr. M joked if one turned around too quickly in the bath they'd end up having sex with themselves. I had to put the microwave on top of the fridge. But back in the 80s, the price was right at $250 mo and included (for Mr. M's viewing pleasure) the lawn mowed by the cute landlady in her short shorts.

Now we're in a remodeled 1600 sq ft waterfront home on a tiny lot priced at $150K 10 yrs ago but would go for almost double today. Just 5 years ago the neighbor closeness wasn't a problem but with the city folk & yankees moving in by the SUV load it's way too crowded, what was countryside is now developments, and the taxes have ridiculously tripled to over $2k. Give me a 100 acres away from everything and everybody and I wouldn't care how small the sq ft.

LOL! I was just thinking that if I could buy a place with a gulfside view of the world's most beautiful beach and wake up every morning to the sound of seagulls, I wouldn't care how SMALL the place was...

Enjoy your waterfront property :~)
