It was made famous after being built on HGTV’s Tiny House Hunters TV show in Season 4, Episode 12\. Over 500 sq ft, entire house on the water, full bath, kitchen, living room, bedroom, chill space (extra couch for tiny person) and porch. Super unique and cool space you're sure to love! Keep in mind, this is a luxury floating house—yes, it’s on water, so it may sway gently with the breeze. Oh, and it’s a tiny home—so pack light and embrace the cozy vibes. Book accordingly! 😉 The entire home is all yours to enjoy—make yourself comfortable! I’m a proud Downtown Sanford local, so if you need anything, I’m just around the corner and happy to assist! The Historic Downtown Sanford District in Central Florida is a global travel destination featuring award-winning restaurants, craft breweries, gastropubs, shopping, world-class events, street festivals, concerts, theaters, art galleries, and a spectacular marina featuring fishing, boating and dinner cruises. All the amazingness is two blocks away and we're in the golf cart zone. There's also a free trolley couple blocks away, Sanford Golf Cart Rentals, and Bikleta Bike Shop for bicycle rentals. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 500 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96350000/96342300/96342219/50ae0051.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 4-Bed 2.5 Bath Modern Home on 5 Acres.
