Recommend staying

Me and my wife had a wonderful time staying on the houseboat. I would stay there again and recommend anyone to staying there. The steak and seafood and Italian restaurant are just a very short walk away. We met a few people that have boats in the marina. They were very nice to speak with. The owner was very nice and allowed us to check in early and check out a couple hours late.

A fun floating bungalow

This was our first time staying in a floating bungalow, and my wife and I had such a good time. The bungalow is kept very clean and organized and is such a nice place to stay. A big thank you to Jay and Teresa for being such good hosts and for answering the questions we had about the bungalow and our stay there. They were very helpful and replied promptly to our questions. Definitely recommended!

Unique and relaxing stay

We were pleasantly pleased with the comfort and cleanliness that this houseboat provided. It had all comforts of home. The outside decks were a great place to relax and review our days events. The location made walking to downtown Sanford and all of it's shops and restaurants very easy. What a great stay we had and plan to come again.

Our stay April 10-16

We enjoyed our stay on the floating bungalow. It is the perfect location, a short walk to downtown and the many restaurants and breweries. We were also just steps from the river walk and near several beautiful parks.

Floating Paradise

Beautifully decorated, modern, spic n span. This gem has all the necessities you would need to spend a relaxing time on the water. Close to town with restaurants to meet any desires from sandwiches to steaks. Take a walk along Lake Monroe enjoying the outdoors. Enjoyed our stay and will probably return.

Simply amazing!

This is basically a cool apartment on the water, normal bathroom, shower, and kitchen appliances. The best boat house we have ever stayed on and that has been a few. A must stay if you are in the area.

Great place - perfect tocation!

This was a little charmer! The property was immaculately clean and a very well equipped and supplied home with great AC and comfy bed. The bathroom was surprisingly bigger than I expected on a boat and the kitchen had nice full size appliances (small dishwasher but we did not use it) and plenty of cookware, utensils, dishes, glasses, etc. if one wanted to cook. Easy walk to many restaurants, bars, shops, nice long riverwalk. Great communication with the owner. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this sweet place!!
