Houseboat vacation rentals in Central Florida

This is the cutest little houseboat!! It has all the amenities you need- kitchen, living, and other. I stayed there alone, and it was perfect for 1 or 2 people. Super conveniently located in Sanford to pretty much everything. Connie’s deli is the sweetest yummiest little diner and so perfect for grabbing breakfast or lunch. Jay & Teresa were wonderful hosts! Very responsive to any of my questions. The place was very clean and ready for my arrival. Extra blankets, etc. available too if needed. Shower was great! Good water pressure, and enough hot water for a hair wash :) I didn’t get a chance to use the George Foreman unfortunately, but that’s a nice touch- would be lovely to grill out on the porch overlooking the lake. Got to see tons of wildlife- turtles, gators, and manatees! 10/10 recommend booking this place. If you’re on the fence, just do it! You won’t regret it :)

Thanks, Carrie & Rick, for our wonderful experience on The Hobo! From the moment we arrived at the marina, you made us feel like long-time friends. Your little "home" on the river became our home for 2 chilly but starlit nights on the scenic St. John's River. You anticipated everything we might need when equipping and stocking the houseboat and even included a hospitality bag. We'll be back! We recommend Tiny Houseboat Adventures without reservation.

Had an amazing stay at this airbnb! Extremely comfortable for 6 people and looks even better than the pictures. We loved having a pool table and plenty of kayaks for everyone. Lisa is an awesome host and went out of her way to make sure our stay was perfect, including restaurant recommendations, a welcoming check in and out and was very communicative throughout the process. P.s.: Don’t skip the Piri Piri restaurant! They have delicious food.

My husband and I recently had the absolute pleasure of staying at Lauren's boathouse to celebrate our honeymoon, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by how beautiful the house was. The scenic view was simply breathtaking. Waking up to the gentle sounds of the water and the picturesque landscape right outside our window was a dream come true. We spent many peaceful hours just sitting and enjoying the tranquility of the water, which was exactly what we were hoping for in a relaxing honeymoon retreat. Lauren and her team were exceptional hosts. Whenever we needed to reach out, Lauren was incredibly quick to respond and always helpful and friendly. Her attentiveness truly made us feel well taken care of. If you're looking for a charming and intimate house right on the water where you can simply unwind and enjoy the beauty of your surroundings, then look no further! We wholeheartedly recommend the boathouse!

My girlfriend and I just spent 4 of the most amazing days here. Andrew and his team were the most attentive hosts I've ever had on vacation. The boathouse was so cute and the view while sitting on the back patio was so peaceful and serene. We went jetskiing which was located only a few feet away from all the units and Remy, our tour guide, was fantastic. I can't say enough about the way he assisted my girlfriend while she rode by herself for the first time. It was so much fun. We also went parasailing and the guides there, Zack and Jessie, were also awesome. They took our pictures using the photo package which came great. They gave us great recommendations about the things to do nearby, and played such good music on the boat. The view while up in the air was breathtaking, and also took pictures while riding and their photo package gave us great memories from the boat view. Andrew had beach chairs, towels, and golf cart that we used to get around the island. The main strip, where we

The stay was great. The owners are close by and available for assistance. Requesting gas everyday day was a little annoying and the tank ran out of water on our last stay. Overall was a good experience.

Perfect location for a quiet getaway. Love to wake up and walk across to public beach for sunrise and sit on the dock for sunset!

We so much enjoyed our stay on the Splashing Pelican. It was peaceful and comfortable - a unique experience on our first visit to this beautiful part of Florida. Not much wildlife to report, but the super athletic fish were amazing and did their best to put on a show for us. And we so enjoyed the sunsets. We also enjoyed kayaking and visits to Vero Beach. Natalie was helpful at all times. Thank you.

My husband and I really enjoyed it! Chip was very attentive and responded quickly. It was very beautiful around, we had a great rest!!

We are glad to have stayed on a house boat. It was surprisingly roomy, with all ameneties of a regular home. Waterfront sunrises and sunsets from the top deck were so delightful! We also enjoyed walking the boardwalk, strolling Historic downtown Sanford and driving through the neighborhood and viewing the remarkable homesites. We hope to return.

Great place to stay, loved the peace and wildlife that surrounded the amazing house boat. Will recommend!

It was really fun to stay at Deanna's place and have our first stay on a houseboat! It was more than a place to sleep but a fun experience too! Deanna was super flexible with check in and checkout times which was so nice! My husband and I only had 1 night for a quick 24 hour getaway before we had to get back to our kids and usually it's hard to relax if the trip is so short since you often can't check in until 4ish and have to checkout the next morning by 10ish. So staying at a place with flexibility was a huge benefit! Deanna also knew it was an anniversary getaway for us so she included some very thoughtful extra touches which was very sweet. Thanks, Deanna!

Jay and Theresa's boathouse was absolutely spotless, which we truly appreciated. The setting provided the perfect backdrop for our favorite moments: peaceful mornings sipping coffee while watching the breathtaking sunrise, and tranquil evenings unwinding with a glass of wine as the sun dipped below the horizon. We found the location to be wonderfully quiet, peaceful, and exceptionally private – a true escape.
