Beautiful home, wonderful sunsets, great little city within walking distance. Two wonderful bedrooms, a nice kitchen and eating area, wonderful family room plenty of televisions and strong wifi. . . then the upper deck is a whole additional experience. Sitting on the deck with a cold glass of wine watching the sunset, beautiful stocked grill to use and wonderful seating area. It was the culmination of a wonderful, restful and peaceful weekend - thank you !

First time on a houseboat, very interesting and enjoyable. Had gale winds and could feel the boat moving at times, would have been tolerable with proper buoy. All and all it was a nice time, town was just blocks away, and very quaint.

Doing business with Michael was a pleasure, and you couldn't ask for a better location for ease of access to bars and restaurants in Sanford. Some noise and some lake smells are to be expected. Toilets are pretty wonky too, but the boat house bathroom is close by. Shower was great - spacious and plenty of hot water for 4 of us.

Stayed over Christmas to visit family and wanted something fun and different for times when not visiting. This fit the bill. Had a very enjoyable time. Hopefully next time mother nature doesn't send a freeze that way so we can enjoy the awesome top deck. Side note, the bike trail is great and an added bonus.

My husband has always wanted to stay on a houseboat. We found this one and booked it. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the houseboat. It had everything you could possibly need for your stay. Michael met us at the dock and showed us around and how things operate. The rooftop deck is awesome for relaxing and catching a beautiful sunrise and sunset. Loved the experience!

relaxing boat time

relaxing boat time

My friend and I had a very relaxing time on the boat. However there is a lot to do around the area. It's a small downtown and a few bars and good dinning places. New Smyrna beach is about 45 min ride. Wish the marina was more active with people and had a pool. But all in, it was a good stay. The Boat had very good beds. It was very roomy and the fly bridge was awesome. Great sunsets from the top. Cindy & friend from Grand Haven, MI

We are both in our 80's and this lovely houseboat allowed us to enjoy being on a houseboat in the Lake Monroe Marina and being able to just walk 3 blocks to the downtown Sanford. Last night was a magnificent sunset and rise of the full moon. Beautiful. . . Lee & Warren

We are 4 ladies over 80. Met in first yr high. We get together every year. The houseboat and town of Sanford was fun. Great places to eat and drink!!! Mike met us at the gate and helped with luggage; showed us the "ropes" and and how to climb the ladder to the deck and how to "flush"! Definitely recommend.

This was a great place for our family to stay during a family event. There is a great walking path along the water front and a very good restaurant within a few minutes walk from the boat. The decktop set up is a fantastic place to relax and talk.

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend on this lovely houseboat. Michael was very helpful and attentive. The place was well equipped and an easy walk into town. In fact we parked our truck at the start of our stay and didn't need it until we left. Our favorite place on the boat was sitting on the top deck enjoying the fire. We will definitely be back!

This place was amazing. Very serene and quiet. The host explained everything on the boat. Which helped a lot. This boat was equipped with everything, i mean everything! Perfect for grilling in the top deck in the shade. The AC was perfect inside the boat. Oh how I wish we stayed longer. We will be back.

We Will Never Stay on Land Again

We Will Never Stay on Land Again

I come down to the Sanford area pretty frequently to visit friends and family. For this trip, we were moving my mother-in-law up to NC. Staying on this boat made what was supposed to be a chore into a really cool vacation. Two levels: business on bottom, party on the top and they've thought of every small detail. The beds are super comfy and you get rocked to sleep. Who could ask for more?

Owner was great to work with. Houseboat was as advertised and so close to Sanford. We never used our car. The upstairs deck was great In the evening so we just got take out and enjoyed the view and breeze. AC was a little overworked on the hot days but Michael says he is correcting that soon. Would definitely stay again.

A creative place to stay; not your everyday vacation! I enjoyed relaxing on the boat, especially on the top deck and at table on front deck. Everything was comfy and cozy. The drive to Orlando and beaches are close by too. Hope to visit Why Knot while this way again. Thanks!
