Floating Tiny Home on Pontoons


This post contains affiliate links.

Here’s a really neat floating home that’s moored in Sarasota Bay in Florida, where you can stay for a couple of nights. It’s an off-grid adventure, but they have some solar power and plumbing to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

The one-room houseboat has a couch that turns into a bed, a little kitchenette, and a bathroom that allows for a 5-minute shower. The coolest feature of this vacation home, however, is the rooftop patio where two lounge chairs sit basking in the sun!

    No biggie, but that is a cassette toilet or “porta-potty” not a composting toilet. Significantly different. Just feel that media should be accurate.
