About the model: 

Located between the sand cliffs and the waves, the cottage is surrounded by several fishing utilities, including some crates with nets and floats, crab traps (although not too sturdy) and a rowboat with a fishing rod. For a quick peek inside, the cottage itself features a foldable hull, revealing two bedrooms in the stern; a kitchenette, dining corner and living area in the middle section and a pantry with a removable hammock in the bow. For full access, the keel and top front hull parts are quickly removed. The light in the window can be lit by pressing a patch of beach.
