After watching the movie Sleepless in Seattle, a lot of people started thinking about living on a floating home. And many were surprised at how luxurious their interiors could look. It certainly can be west coast living at its finest. And while there are floating home villages on the east coast, and even in the middle on the Great Lakes – it’s the weather on the west coast that makes them so popular. Temperate. Not winter. And why not? To be right on the water, to wake up with the call of the gulls, the slap of the waves – it’s just so relaxing and well, movie-like. Living on a floating home is like living in a movie, a movie of the ever-changing ocean and tides. Some have very modern interiors, others are a little more rustic. But there’s no denying – they are not lacking in the comforts of home. Welcome aboard, and welcome home!
