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. 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!

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!

Summary: Delightful experience. Great location. Host was accomodating. The stairs were a challenge for us, but we're old, yet still active. The deck would benefit from attention (support post and furnishings). Pleased with heating and cooling as the temperatures during our 1 week stay ranged from 86 to 35. Overall a good stay.
