Sleepless in Apalachicola


Remember that movie, Sleepless in Seattle, where Tom Hanks lives on a houseboat?  Did that ever make you wish to live on one too?  I've always liked the idea.  While on our Birthday/Memorial Day beach trip, I found two houseboats- side by side that are for sale in Apalachicola, FL.  This cute town is mostly known for its oysters and it has a sweet, laid back funky charm as well as lots of older homes, some cute shops and nice people.
I need to mention that these floating homes are tiny.  And I have no idea whether they have any of the typical "house" things in them like kitchens, bathrooms, etc., as they are currently offices.

But two for sale, side by side!  What fun!  This is just a dream for me, but a fun one.  I've always loved the water and actually living on it part time, would be a blast.  But I'm posting them up here for you, because in case you have a hankering for the floating life, I'm happy if my friends snap them up instead of me just dreaming about them.

Hope your weekend was a blast. Mine was sunny with a plethora of white sandy beaches and all the seafood I could eat.  Two thumbs up!

See you tomorrow!

  1. Hi Marcy,
    It was pleasure meeting you today at Cacao. My dream as well has been to live on the water. My fiance is from Savannah and I love that city. All I want to do is have an in-home studio, create jewelry and eat all the seafood I want, when I want it. My dad used to always buy Apalachicola oysters cause they were the biggest and the best tasting. This blog post brought back a lot of precious memories for me. Drop me a line or two. Thanks.
