From Mansion to Tiny Home, Have a Look at Crystal Hefner's
"We could not be more pleased with the tiny house that Paradise Tiny Homes created for us. We wanted a home that settled the soul as soon as you walk in it—one with high ceilings, ample Hawaiian wood for trim, and furnishings both comfortable and aesthetic. Ellie and Dan crafted a home beyond our dreams. Ellie’s artistry and Dan’s craftsmanship are on full display. It is not only beautiful, it is efficient and practical. They were attentive to every detail, responded to all of our requests, and went out of their way to assure our complete satisfaction. They truly helped us create a paradise of a home."

"Watching tiny house channels and shows has been our weekend hobby for about 4 years now. After seeing hundreds of tiny homes online and a few in person, we were instantly drawn to Dan's innovative workmanship and Ellie's keen design style. We knew that the Oasis was the tiny house for us! Ellie and Dan made us feel like Ohana from our very first inquiry. Throughout the build, they kept us up-to-date with cheerful texts, pictures, and phone calls. Being willing to customize their original model, Ellie listened to all of our input and was eager to help our visions become reality.
Today, we woke up in our cozy bedroom loft, were greeted by the subtle curves of the ceiling, and looked through the chapel-like vaulted space over our living room and out the hexagonal window to our view of the airport and the Pacific ocean. After breakfast in bed, we tidied up the 7x7 foot galley kitchen and lazed about the living room, playing a game of chess and strumming an ukulele, while a cat nestled in for a nap on the locally sourced mango wood window ledge. Later in the day, we had lunch on our lanai, my wife read a magazine in the loft, our daughter sat on the living room floor to color, and I took a nap just above her in our indoor hammock. Throughout the day, we could see the neighborhood children play in the street as we looked through our oversized, circular feature window. We cleaned the dishes in our metallic grey composite quartz sink, ran the Roomba over our luxury vinyl tile flooring, wiped the kitty paw prints off the stainless steel countertops, drained our grey water tank, and cleaned out our composting toilet. We each finished up the day with a hot, luxurious shower and freshly baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookies straight out of our oven. From sunrise to sunset, we found times to pause and appreciate each lovingly designed space, each thoughtfully crafted feature, and felt truly blessed. We now have the tiny home of our dreams; all thanks to Ellie, Dan, and their Paradise Tiny Homes crew. We can't thank you guys enough! Mahalo!"

"...We saw pictures on Facebook of the tiny home being built, and a day before the open house, we contacted them for directions. We got to the open house in the morning and when we saw the tiny home in person, we knew that this was the home we wanted! What impressed us the most was the artistical value of the home, everything was so tastefully done to the finest of detail. I’m a lover of local wood in a home build, the use of native curly mango wood in the window sills, bar, counters, shelves, and stairs sets this custom build apart from the typical package homes that you commonly see on other websites. Then there is the huge circle window, with cute white tiles, and custom mango bar top, a perfect place to relax, sip your favorite beverage, and enjoy the view! A frosted glass pocket door separates the kitchen and bathroom. Many tiny homes have basic showers, or sometimes the showers are built outside of the home. The full size shower, which utilizes the front corner of the home, boasts gorgeous blue tile, a rainfall showerhead, a round sliding glass door, and a clear roof that lets in the natural light! There is even a place to grow live plants, it’s like showering in nature yet in the privacy of your own home, we love it! Sleeping area is in the loft with ample room for a Queen size bed with custom storage bed frame, a curved ceiling for headspace, sliding windows for lots of ventilation and natural light. The kitchen size was perfect with two large windows on each side for lots of airflow, two stainless steel countertops with custom tiled backsplash for ease of cleanup, a double burner stove, a midsize refrigerator, and a dual function washer/dryer. The tiny home came fully furnished as seen in the pictures, we didn’t need to hire an interior designer, this was all part of the package! Step out the front door onto the custom wooden deck, a perfect place to hang out when the weather is nice! We are so thrilled to have this dream tiny home and know that our guests will enjoy it as well! Thank you, Ellie and Dan, for putting so much love into this build, a living work of art yet totally functional! Much aloha,"
