The Famous Tiny Houseboat named ‘Downtown Dharma’ is a gorgeous floating houseboat parked at the Monroe Harbour Marina in beautiful Historic Downtown Sanford, Florida just 20 minutes North of Orlando FL.

Super unique and cool space you're sure to love!

The space
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! 😉

My happiest days are spent on the beach with family and friends. I enjoy playing ice hockey. Traveling has always been a passion of mine since a young age. Ive been to over 15 countries and am eager to visit more soon. My favorite experience in travel, whether domestic or international, is to emerge myself in the culture of the community. I like to study people, their habits, past times, cuisine, drink, and so forth.
