VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Meet Melissa and her charming tiny home, the Salty Chalet, nestled in sunny San Diego, California. In a city known for its high cost of living, Melissa found an affordable housing solution that’s helped her save over $10,000 every year—all while embracing a simpler, more intentional lifestyle.

This detailed tour is perfect for anyone exploring tiny house living as a way to downsize, cut costs, and afford life in an expensive area. Melissa walks us through her thoughtfully designed 240 sq ft space, sharing how her off-grid home—with solar panels, propane cooking, and reclaimed materials—allows her to live comfortably without sacrificing quality or beauty.

Inside the Salty Chalet, you'll discover:
-A cozy living room with tall ceilings, natural light, and space to host guests or work from home
-A functional kitchen equipped with a farmhouse sink, secondhand treasures, and storage solutions for her soap-making business
-A peaceful loft bedroom filled with rustic charm, cozy vibes, and all the clothing storage she needs
-A spacious bathroom with reclaimed wood, a full vanity, a shower, and vintage touches like a stained glass window

Melissa’s journey from a skyrocketing Arizona rental to owning a tiny home she adores

She shares practical tips on how to find parking for a tiny house, the realities of land rent in different regions, and her hopes for more tiny home communities to tackle the housing crisis. With a background in social work and a passion for sustainable living, Melissa proves that tiny homes aren’t just cute—they’re a smart, empowering financial decision for many.

If you’re considering downsizing to save money, curious about tiny homes in California, or want to see how one woman created a peaceful life in a high-cost area—this is the video for you.
