Friday Tiny House — A Portable Beach Cabin

portable cabin 186x300 Friday Tiny House    A Portable Beach CabinI’ve mentioned this before, but there is a special place in my heart for tiny houses on wheels.  I recently stumbled across this vintage postcard of a portable beach cabin and couldn’t resist sharing.

Apparently these could be rented in the resort town of Ostende, Belgium. The large-spoke wheels allowed these little buildings to be pushed directly into the water and the the bathing beauties who were inside could come out and descend directly into the water via the step-ladder style steps, thus preserving some degree of their modesty.

As one of the modern-day women who, on occasion has had to do the “walk of shame” from beach towel to water after a winter of too much ice cream and too little gym time, I can definitely see the appeal of this little structures.

Besides, it’s just plain cute.
