Floating Oasis (Modern Houseboat with rooftop patio)

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE LISTING BEFORE BOOKING.
The Floating Oasis is a 4 season houseboat, moored on the Sarasota Bay. This dream boat is designed by an architect with AC, shower, and electricity. There is a cozy full size bed and lounge chairs on the balcony for year round stays, bbq, and dry composite toilet on board.
The space
The Floating Oasis is a 4 season (fully insulated) houseboat. The boat is 30ft long with 23ft of inside cabin space. The boat has a cozy bed with surrounding windows to watch the sunset and sunrise. The boat has two doors, the front door for the patio and access to the balcony and the back door for fresh air from the sea next to the bed. There is a full turf top deck, perfect for suntanning, star gazing, or yoga! The boat comes with 3 circular windows with netting to open for more fresh air without letting any bugs in and many more rustic features!

There are two 120v batteries and solar panels and a generator for electricity and AC on the boat. There are two USB charging ports connected to our solar system which you can use to charge your phones. THERE IS CELL SERVICE ON THE HOUSEBOAT.

On board is a dry composite toilet and a shower with hot water that lasts up to 5 minutes with maximum heat afterwards, the water is lukewarm and still bearable to shower. If you wait another hour or two there will be more hot water.

There is a lock on the boat from the outside if you need to leave to go to town. (It’s a very quiet and safe place). You can also lock it from the inside.

THE BOAT WILL BE MOORED AND GUESTS CANNOT DRIVE IT.


Water shuttle:
This Floating Oasis is moored out in the bay away from land and can only be accessed by boat. We offer a 9-foot dinghy enough for two people and luggage. You will be ferrying yourself to the houseboat in the dinghy, which is about a 5 min row from land. Expect some wind and waves. We will meet at the shore to check-in.

The boat is on the Sarasota Bay, great for paddle boarding and fishing. Dolphin and manatee sighting is almost guaranteed.

We supply:
2 gallons of purified drinking water.
(Bring more if you wish)
Coffee and tea (no creamer)
Oil, salt, pepper, sugar and some spices.
BBQ and utensils for BBQ.
55 gallon Cooler (you may bring ice to store food)
Plates, bowls, utensils, pans, cutting boards, cups and mugs.
Biodegradable soap and shampoo.
Bug spray and sunscreen.
Restroom essentials
Cleaning supplies



Please note:
This is not your typical stay. While efforts have been made to preserve the modern conveniences we’ve become accustomed to on land, some of them must be sacrificed while still other conveniences must be accepted. (Limited power and water, no wifi)

Air conditioning is installed but is recommended to only be used during sleep hours or if you intend to stay inside as it requires the generator to be running in order to be used, which is loud outside. Please keep in mind that it takes up to an hour of run time to bring the temperature down inside the boat once the AC has been started, depending on how hot it is outside.

You must bring food and drinks with you just like camping.


Safety:
-We provide 4 life jackets.
-First aid kit.
-Air horn and whistle.
-Fire extinguisher
-flashlights
Guest access
Full access to the entire boat.

Awesom
Kevin & Tanya March 2023 My girlfriend and I absolutely loved it. We rented the paddle boards and played around the bay. The rooftop lounging in the sun and at night looking at the stars was so romantic. We left the doors open at night and the ocean breeze is to die for. This was very cozy, so romantic, and lots of fun. Fishing at night with a bobber was a blast. I used a bobber to keep the rig out of the seaweed. They were small fish but lots of action with frozen shrimp. I turned down the drag just to make it even more exciting. We were very close to Siesta Key and OMG the baby powder sand was something to add to your bucket list. The Ringling mansion was beyond opulent and it is a bucket list item as well. Lots of restaurants and shops. LOVED IT!!!!!
