I don't know how to swim. I'm 73. This floating home is super! I love it! I would wear a life jacket 24/7. But I would definitely want to live here if it was GIVEN to me.
Hey y'all found my house that was stolen last year, thank you 🤣. I'm allowed to dream dang it.😁 love this to pieces guys. Y'all have tbe best giggles. I love y'all, you're the best. Great Great video 🤗🤗🤗
😂 happy to help! Sending love your way 💕💕💕 have a lovely weekend!
This kind of lifestyle is a captivating journey that illustrates the endless possibilities of living small while dreaming big. ❤❤
Well said 🙌🙌💕✨
I love the floating house, I would love to have one just like it but on ground not water. I have motion sickness really bad. I love that you can stand up all through the house.
This would adorable on land! Motion sickness really sucks :/
For relief of my OCD, I'd exchange the mini blinds on the round window next to the front door. The TV would be excellent, if installed on a pivot bracket to cover that window for when privacy is desired. Plus, the relocated TV clears off the bartop (as Alexis said👍👏).
Great feedback! 😃😊
I checked one out 25 years ago in Melbourne Florida. The owner and I were sitting on the back deck watching dolphins jump around. I was so sold, but the storm aspect was concerning. So I prayed at that moment to feel what it's like and sure enough I was sent a storm within moments. It was an easy no and that one was on pylons! Wish it had a restaurant that close. 😃 That one was gorgeous, and a much better view of Puget Sound ❣
Yes to dolphins but hard pass on big storms! 😅 We much like this located in a protected inner waterway with lovely views of the city & Mt Rainer 🥹
@@TinyHouseExpedition I would strongly consider this type of housing again. The technology must have been greatly improved after 2.5 decades!! 😆 And yes THAT VIEW ⛰
I love the decor colors and the style, inside and out! It looks so comfortable. Washington State is a great place for a house boat.Thanks for the tour.
Ohh, I'd love to live on a floating home. More storage! 😊
Right on! 😁☺️🌊🏡✨
There's a WHOLE lot more to it than just the idea of living on one.
@@streetsmartintelligent well clearly 😜
💜 I love sleeping on the water.
Christian's laugh especially at the end. Could you live here? Totally 👀 😆
😜😂
It is very nice. If I owned it, I would have it transported to a nice wooded lot.
Oh thank God a full size 2nd story! I'm not a big fan of crawl in bed lofts. That deck is massive and I'm living for it
Outdoor living space adds so much to tiny home quality of life ❤️
Grew up & lived on the water most of my life even on our yacht while our house was being built on the canal. Living in a marina on a boat is very close to one another, you hear everything, see everything, smell everything. Rarely any steady coverage for tv & radio signals. Lots & lots of dampness living on the water sheets & seating area was always a little damp. Living on a house boat / floating home powered or stationary, they both have its ups & downs.
The main one being NO PRIVACY & the STORMS, hurricanes, rising water..
But the ups are:
FISH & CRAB right out your door.
CLEAN & gut fish right there at the marina provided wash station.
SAILBOATS as neighbors, the sounds of the masts clanking softly is like a lullaby.
NEIGHBORS are cooking
NEIGHBORS having a laui drink party
NEIGHBORS share their catch for the day with you NEIGHBORS take you out on their boat for a cruise hitting restaurants/bars up & down the coast.
IF YOU have any issues with your boat everyone is willing to help, it is a great community....
YOU JUST CAN'T RUN AROUND or TAN NAKED.😅
Oh & neighbors & myself had been known to slip & fall into the water or on the tie out ropes drinking OR not.
Lost many a keys & cell phones purses...glup glup
Difficulty bringing supplies "especially furniture" onto the boat.
The piers were never wide enough & should always have railings on both sides of piers.
And you Will always have seagull shit on your seats, Rails, decks.😊
Lastly must watch look down before you sit, been known to have a few water moccasins on the seat.
Didn't care for the in the water maintenance at all....too many predators reminding you your in there space😮
Would I could I live on that boat? No.
It is ALL about the location & amenties offered by the marinas.
This is wonderful breakdown of pros & cons-thank you for sharing! 😊 Weighing the pros & cons of any alternative home is essential, including the location. 🙌 Good to know that slips even happen to those well accustomed with life on the water-not just the clumsy prone, like myself! 😜 I bet you have great balancing skills though, from your experience
Thanks.
And nope still not balanced, especially when you get older😊
Decided well I guess it's time for dry land at least the only water I'll feel is a puddle😊
Still miss the life however...
I always thought I'd like to live in a houseboat, but I do get seasick (though I love sailing!) so maybe it wouldn't be the right thing for me. It's great that you mention all the drawbacks or things to look out for. Many of the things that come with living on a houseboat or floating home one gets used to - like holding on, securing keys, glasses, phone, etc., but it would be a whole different experience renting one for a short stay! But I do have to say that living on the sea is attractive. But I'd rather not be cheek-by-jowl with a bunch of folks, so I guess I'll just stay in my little rural cabin!
You’ll appreciate a tiny floating cabin we just filmed. It’s moored on a beautiful rural lake with hundreds of feet between them and a neighbor! 😍🌲🌳🐟
Tugboat Annie’s is one of our favorite restaurants!
Right on! We enjoyed it 😋
Cute house boat floating home. Haha 😂 Looks like you two tried something new. Definitely out of your comfort zone. Made for a great video.
Thank you kindly! ☺️
This is an interesting floating home, and I enjoy those rounded windows, as a clever design hint to portholes. The standing height upper level bedroom is great. That separate toilet area is convenient. I'd short stay visit, but not prefer FT in that setting.
Actually I had been looking when looking at places in the Pacific Northwest! My ex and inlaws (we are still close) had been talking about it as was I before they thought about it as well. They were looking at homes and I was looking at floating homes or house boats. I had lived on a schooner for a bit before and my aunt and uncles house boat in Northdern Cal for two Summers so this isn't new to me. So I am glad to see you doing a vid or two on this and ALSO telling the pros and cons about it as well!
Happy to hear it! ☺️💫
I've been a subscriber for years now and I have never heard either one of you curse in your videos, until now. LMAO it caught me by surprise and I laughed like hell when I realized Alexis said in the advertisement " It's F'ing cute" @7:33 minutes Not that I have an F'ing problem with it 😄
😜 we curse a bit more off camera 😂
@@TinyHouseExpedition LOL, everyone does !
OMG l was JUST looking at this exact place on Zillow a few weeks ago because I’m thinking of moving somewhere in Washington. It’s hard to forget something unusually cool like it. Was it something like west bay Marina?
That’s it! 😁😊
Happy Friday!! Yes a tiny house boat!!
Happy happy! This place is sooo charming; we had a great time staying here. Hope you dig it! 😄😊🍻
You two are so cute and fun! Love your videos and insights.
Your camera stabilization is excellent - never got motion sickness watching your video.
Happy to hear it 😅 and thank you for the kind feedback!
❤Cool boat. Yes I really like it. Bedroom seems a little cold compared to downstairs. Just an opinion. Love the sway of boats.
Love the kitchen and the space of it , but I would change a few things if it were mine
Thats beautiful
Really a dreamy space!
Love this beautiful "tiny" floating home. I could see living here. I agree about the TV, it looks like there's enough wall there to do a flexible mount or use a ceiling drop down mount, so you can move it out of the way to use the bar without having to pick it up and put it on the floor. So how many butts is the kitchen space? :D Thanks for the tour!
Great question! It’s a 3-4 🍑 😂
I could live 8n a floating boat as an air bnb but it needs to be in a sunny hot location!
What a beautiful floating house! I didn’t see an oven, but I guess not everyone bakes.
No oven but definitely room for one 🧑🍳
Great video, love you guys sense of humor❤❤
Thanks you very much! Glad you like our humor 😄😊
If I could afford it, I'd make an offer tomorrow!
My dream! I love the style of the home. Perfect ❤
Love the whimsy of style but also quite functional 💫✨
This is Gonna b so Swimming Cool THE😎💐🎉🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Friday😀!!!….
Hope you enjoy the show & float through the weekend with ease!
Nice home, but the blinds on the round down stairs window need to go. Beautiful home though. I could see myself and my furbabies living here.❤❤❤❤
Every now and then you show a tiny house that has ether no problems or very few, like this one. For me I think if your going to live somewhere where it rains a lot, you might want more awning over the deck furniture I noticed you didn't sit on...... because it was raining. But I think I could live in a house like this, on land.
Good call on the awning! We’re with; quite a lovely livable setup that we’d prefer on land with a view of the water 😄
Great place. Wouldn't want to hear neighbors music though. I just enjoy seeing the two of you doing the videos.
Thanks! We’re enjoying doing these ☺️
I like it it's cozy beautiful GBU GUYS ❤
☺️❤️
It looks awesome to explore
💯😊
The deck is wonderful. But in the Northwest there will be many, many days of rain and overcast, so the space may not be as useful then. Thank you for the tour.
Fair point! 😅
Lovely house
On the water and just my color!!!💛😊
Such a charming combo 💛🩵💙
This is so neat! Great tour as always 🎉❤
Thank you Lovely! 💖💕
I love this Beautiful Death Trap. But my Vertigo doesn't 😅
Ahh, that’s understandable! 💕
@@TinyHouseExpedition Hey just wanted to jump here to say how much I love your Show and Your 💕 Story. Warms my ❤️.
@@velicad2905 we so appreciate you and the love 🥰
It is cute but I can swim after untow got me , I never went back in the water, Also have motion sickness, On land it would be awesome with more amp's .
Safety first 😅 think this could look really enchanting on land!
Hi guys👋, lots of space 👍.
I think house boats are cool ,but maybe not in such a dreary spot🥴.
Thanks the tour 🤗!
JO JO IN VT 💞
Most welcome! Location is definitely a top consideration 😃
There’s a lot I like about it but would rather be on land.😊
Our thoughts exactly 😃🍻
Nice
I love the concept of a floating house but definitely my motion sickness would inhibit the execution.
Totally understandable 🙂
I feel secure living in a house boat instead of a boat.😮
We get that! How long have you lived in yours?
I could if I had the money
How often do they have earthquakes in that area?
Extremely rare but are possible 😅
The last biggish one was in the 1960s. It caused a tsunami up the Alberni Inlet which is located on the west coast of Vancouver Island, just north of the borderline between Canada and the US.
It was in 1964. Homes lost and millions of dollars in damage but no fatalities.
Try a sailboat for a week
🫨🤪
Can you rent or stay there?
Right now, it’s a short term rental: www.airbnb.com/rooms/557203190773554591?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=0834bb3c-6617-4441-b46a-0f24976978bf
What about 13 week assignments for travelers
@@tanyashubin198 maybe! Reach out to the host on Airbnb 😊
my question always is: where does the "toilet" stuff go?
Into a holding tank that gets pumped out about 1-2x per month 😁
@@TinyHouseExpedition
ah, like a motor home... so it has a motor to drive to the tanks then?
@@tufalike1796 holding tanks like a motor home but the floating hole can’t move on its own. The marina provides a pump out service via a boat-2/month included in the monthly slip rent .
@@TinyHouseExpedition
cool! thanks for the answers. Have a wonderful day, hugs from Belgium.
@@tufalike1796 🤗
I don't even know where I'd put a table. You want cozy? Move to a walk up apartment and take a studio. XD
Floating home isn't for me. I'm too scared of the weather on big water bodies, and don't have the cash for upkeep.
Fair point 😅 the bar seating at the window is about the best spot. However, if the sofa was smaller, they could have also had seating at the kitchen counter
@@TinyHouseExpedition Whoops! I forgot how fast you guys tend to reply, and added to my comment.
Re the table though: I tend to just plunk down cross legged on the kitchen floor to eat my meals when I don't eat them in front of the computer. Too many years of solo living, maybe.
@@Tam.I.am. 😉😊👊
@@TinyHouseExpedition 😆
"There's something soothing about curviness".
Testify!
🙌😁
If nautical nonsense be something you wish…
😄
Love the floating home but the couple were very irritating!! Just my opinion.
Thanks for the feedback 🙃 we’re not everyone’s cup of tea
I've wanted to live aboard a floating house or a houseboat ever since I first saw them on Lake Union when I moved to Seattle years ago. However, the slippery deck outside, especially when it's cold and icy, would be a challenge, as would not having enough electrical power access. Yet I'd love watching the ducks, geese, herons, and otters, sunrises and sunsets, and kayaks, sailboats, etc. on the lake. Thanks for the tour! Jenny 💙🚣♀🦆🦢🦭🦦🐟🐙🐚🐬
The wildlife viewing is a huge perk!! Appreciate your sweet feedback 😊
@@TinyHouseExpedition You're welcome. My friend used to be a live-aboard on her sailboat at the Shilshoe Bay Marina, so I'm quite familiar with navigating the boat slip pier in all weather.
