Let’s be real: the world is a dumpster fire. The news is bleak, your landlord just raised the rent again, and someone on TikTok is renovating a van in Portugal while you’re just trying to survive each day.

Enter: Cheap Beach Shacks.
Your permission slip to daydream, detour, and maybe—just maybe—disappear to somewhere with salty air and no WiFi signal (unless you want it).

Every week, we deliver 12 hand-picked beach properties from around the world, all under €500,000.
Some are oceanfront gems. Some are “cozy” fixer-uppers. Some might have questionable plumbing—but they all have the potential to be the setting of your future barefoot, margarita-in-hand lifestyle.

What do they all have in common?
They spark that glorious “What if?” feeling.
What if you did pack it all in?
What if you actually moved to that little surf town in Portugal or that sleepy Caribbean village?

Whether you’re a serial dreamer, a remote worker with commitment issues, or someone who just enjoys judging real estate listings from obscure seaside towns—you’re in the right place.
