If you’ve been wondering about where to buy a tiny house, have you considered buying one that’s already set up in a tiny home community? That’s what you can do now — with an incredible savings of $44,000 — if you buy this ESCAPE Tampa Bay home, the Escape N1 on Lot 26 of The Oaks tiny home community. The home, with an included $4,800+ of furnishings and other amenities, plus the lot, usually costs $249,550. But now, through April 9th, you can get the home for an impressive $205,550. Again, that’s $44,000 off. This is in line with the cost of a tiny home in a much less luxurious community, and not near the retirement zone of Florida’s Gulf Coast. So, if you’re interested, go ahead and take a look yourself via the button below. We’ll also be taking a closer look at what the home has to offer, further below.

Why you should buy the Escape N1 on Lot 26

The interior of the Escape N1 on Lot 26. — .

Inspired by modernist architect Richard Neutra, the N1 is ESCAPE Homes first and only mid-century modern home in the company’s 20 plus years of designing tiny homes. It features bright colors and natural mable cabinetry, for a clean, open look. Despite this of-the-forest look, the home is quite smart, with voice-activated lights and a smart temperature control via Google NEST. You’ll even find USB outlets throughout your new home, should you decided to live here. The main areas of the home are a kitchen and dining space, a living area, a bedroom, covered porch, and open deck. In total, you’ll have just under 500 square feet of living space to roam about.

Of course this tiny home purchase is about more than just the home. Like all home purchases, you’re also buying into a community. If you’re like a lot of people in the tiny home universe, you probably value the outdoors. Here, you’ll be a part of a safe gated community with a large central park and a heated pool. Everyone even gets access to free Wi-Fi, so there is only a very small ecological and economical footprint that you’ll be leaving behind as you live your life in the home on Lot 26 in The Oaks. It should be noted that all other homes are occupied, meaning this is the final one. So, go check it out now (via the button below) while it is $44,000 off, a drop from $249,550 to $205,550.

Cigar Lounge Spotlight: The Flama Cabana in Key West, Florida

Ashtray, Person

Welcome to the inaugural Cigar Lounge Spotlight at The Manual, where every Friday I’ll aim to bring you some of the best cigar lounges in the country. Yours truly travels a lot for a living, and during that time, I’ve ensconced myself in local cigar lounges in the cities I visit when the opportunity arises. While many of my dispatches here will include cigar lounges I’ve visited during my time as a longtime sportswriter — and in my current capacity as a travel and lifestyle writer — this space will also feature lounges I’d love to visit one day, perhaps on my next trip.

Such is the case with The Flama Cabana at Havana Cabana Key West Hotel in Key West, Florida. There’s no better way to kick off this series than with a cigar lounge in the Southernmost Point of the United States, a mere 90 miles from cigar heaven, Cuba.

The guilty pleasure movie: Which ones you should watch without the guilt

Adult, Male, Man

There are great movies, and then there are movies you love. The two categories overlap, obviously. The Godfather is both. So is Jaws. But there are also great movies that you are “supposed” to like even though they bore the hell out of you. Or movies that you endure because they are the favorite of your wife or girlfriend.

But another class of movie may be even more important to our everyday entertainment: the guilty pleasure movie. You know the type. You’re flipping channels—or scrolling through whatever has replaced channel surfing—and suddenly discover that The Rock started 45 minutes ago. It doesn’t matter. You know what happened during those 45 minutes. You know what happens next. You know half the dialog.

You can now live like a true James Bond villain…minus the evil lair

Outdoors, Nature, Scenery

James Bond is a staple of pop culture. He is all over The Manual because of his impact on the style, spirits, and travel industries. That also means that there are suits he wears people emulate, there are cocktails he drinks people want to try, and there are destinations people want to experience. When I was in Monaco for the Formula 1 race, I was taken aback by how many people wanted to go to the “James Bond Casino,” where Brosnan’s Bond met Xenia Onatopp for the first time in Goldeneye.

Now, Bond is infiltrating the real estate market as the villa from the ending of Casino Royale is now somewhere you can live. When Mr. White (Jesper Christensen) returns home after the events of the film, he stands admiring the view of his (assumed) villa before getting a bullet in the knee. This is the moment when Craig’s Bond utters his famous line for the first time, “Bond, James Bond.” Now, the entire property on the Lake Como estate isn’t for sale, but you can buy an apartment with five rooms on the ground floor, with two bedrooms, a study, and two bathrooms spread across two levels. All you need is to contact Sotheby’s with a meager $1.5 million.
