The featured properties run the gamut from ultra-affordable to totally outrageous, located in places like Key West, Fla., Kodiak Island, Alaska, Mount Desert Island in Maine, and Washington State's San Juan Islands.

The house hunters tour three to four waterfront properties -- each with surprisingly affordable price tags -- before choosing the one that turns the beach lifestyle dreams into reality.

There's a trend in U.S. housing, albeit a very small one. Drawn to the prospect of financial freedom, a simpler lifestyle, and limiting one's environmental footprint, more buyers are opting to downsize -- in some cases, to spaces no larger than 600 square feet. Where are these homes, and how do buyers find them? In this series realtors help people find perfect compact kingdoms -- from full-time residences to seasonal getaways. Shoppers in each episode get to see three styles before they decide which is their best fit.

The series brings potential home buyers a better understanding of the process, each episode following a prospective buyer and an agent from start to finish.
