About this property
NOT YOUR TYPICAL HOUSEBOAT: 60 FEET OF FUN!
Luxurious 60-foot, 2-story moored houseboat. Brand new mini split a/c system just installed. Accommodates up to 4 people. Flat screen TVs throughout, WiFi, comfy queen-sized beds, and a kitchen with residential appliances and all the tools you need. Permanently docked in a safe, secure marina on scenic Lake Monroe, part of the St. John's River system. Just a short walk to funky art galleries, retail/antique/resale shops, microbreweries, a Belgium beer bar, wine bar, and great restaurants. Take a 5-minute car ride to the Central Florida Zoo and zip line. In 15 minutes you can be at the crystal-clear Blue Springs State Park. You are 45 minutes from Disney and the theme parks. Or just relax up top! PLEASE NOTE: The boat is permanently docked. Guests are NOT permitted to drive the boat. Think of it as a floating/water-top condo. Under no circumstances may guests drive the boat. Garbage must be removed at checkout.
CHECK-IN IS 2PM, CHECK-OUT IS 11AM.
ANY LATE ARRIVAL REQUESTS MUST BE MADE DURING THE INITIAL BOOKING REQUEST, SO THAT PROPER ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE MADE.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by M Verrastro
Husband and wife team. We purchased this vessel to move to south Florida where we were living at the time. Before we could, we fell in love with the city of Sanford and central Florida and decided to keep the vessel at Monroe Harbour Marina as a weekend getaway. We sold our home in Palm Beach Gardens, FL and moved up to DeLand, FL. After many enjoyable stays with friends on the houseboat, we took their advice and starting renting the Why-Knot so that others could enjoy it too.
Why they chose this property
Hotels are a dime a dozen. If you are looking for a vacation you won't soon forget, with lasting memories, stay with us. Our vessel offers everything you would find at home and then some.
What makes this property unique
Great View. Privacy and safety. You have the entire boat to yourself. No strangers roaming around like you have in a hotel. Gate to dock remains locked at all times. The kitchen contains full-size residential appliances, dishes, glasses, utensils, etc. There is a grill up top for cooking out. Two beach-cruisers are provided to tour the town. Walk or bike to Historic Sanford. Flatscreen TV in every room (3) and up top (1). Comfy queen-size beds (2) and 1 sofa bed. Iron, blow dryers, etc. Just bring your clothes.
