The Famous Houseboat

Tie up to something unforgettable. "Downtown Dharma" is a one of a kind floating houseboat docked at Monroe Harbour Marina, in the heart of Historic Downtown Sanford and just twenty minutes north of Orlando. It earned its fame the honest way: it was built on national television, featured on HGTV's Tiny House Hunters, Season 4, Episode 12.

Across more than 500 square feet, you get an entire home on the water. A full kitchen, a living room, a private bedroom, a full bath, a relaxed chill space with an extra couch, and a porch made for slow mornings over the river. It is compact by design and rich in character, the kind of stay guests talk about long after checkout.

A gentle note before you arrive. This is a luxury floating home, so it may sway softly with the breeze off the St. Johns. It is also a tiny home, so pack light and lean into the cozy. Book accordingly and the river will take care of the rest.

The whole houseboat is yours for the stay. Your host is a proud Downtown Sanford local, just around the corner and genuinely happy to help. Step off the dock and you are two blocks from award winning restaurants, craft breweries, gastropubs, galleries, theaters, and a marina alive with fishing, boating, and dinner cruises. You are inside the golf cart zone, with a free trolley, golf cart rentals, and a bike shop all close by.
