We had a house built on pilings with a 208sq ft storage room underneath the house. I insulated the room and my wife used it as her craft room. The problem was not heat. She used a small electic heater by her feet when it was cold. When the temp really dropped, she just stayed upstairs. You could try a small electric heater before you invest in some larger heater that actually puts out too much heat.
The real problem was the need for air conditioning which was solved with a window unit. She needed ac much more often than heat. We purchased a unit that was too large and the room felt damp. Bought a 5000 BTU and it was perfect for the 200 sq feet. It ran more often but removed the humidity.
Trust me...having her view blocked to stay warm and cool is no big deal. My wife had just the one window and that was never an issue.
I would go the combo window unit but really check out the correct size...the narrow split units appear to put out too much BTUs for the ac. Another option is through the wall like a motel. They are about the same price as a combo window unit.
