With housing prices and property taxes continually climbing, Rose sought an affordable alternative without compromising her quality of life. She found it in her charming floating tiny home—her boat named "Amore." 🏠 Why Rose Downsized to Boat Living: Rose realized the cost-saving potential of boat living when she discovered slip rentals were significantly cheaper than traditional housing, especially in a high-demand area like Fort Lauderdale. Although slip rents have increased since she moved in—from an initial $800 to $1,500 per month—she avoids costly property taxes and homeowners association fees, helping her save thousands annually. 🌴 Inside Rose’s Houseboat: Rose's houseboat is thoughtfully designed and personalized, reflecting her passion for nature and rustic décor. You'll tour her welcoming living room, a compact yet fully functional kitchen, and a cleverly designed guest area with bunk beds, all optimized with smart storage solutions. See how Rose transformed her space into a cozy sanctuary that’s perfect for her lifestyle. 🛌 Creative & Functional Tiny Spaces: Rose maximizes her storage using creative strategies—under-bed pull-out drawers, custom cabinets, and clever shelving. Her bedroom offers a comfortable queen-size bed, ample closet space, and French doors leading to her relaxing back deck where she can sip coffee and cruise around Fort Lauderdale’s gorgeous waterways. 🛁 Functional Boat Bathroom: Her bathroom features generous counter space, ambient lighting, and functional storage. A foot-flush freshwater toilet and walk-in shower complete the practical space, along with windows providing stunning views of the Las Olas waterfront. 🎹 Upper Deck—The Heart of Rose's Home: Rose’s favorite spot is the upper deck, where she spends most of her leisure time creating music on her grand piano, enjoying meals with friends, or relaxing in her hammock. Despite dealing with the weather elements—sun, humidity, hurricanes, and rain—Rose finds immense joy in outdoor boat living, continually enhancing her space for optimal comfort. ✨ Rose’s Journey to Small Living: Originally from Armenia, Rose moved through the UK before finally fulfilling her dreams in America. Boat living opened doors she never imagined, allowing her to simplify life, eliminate financial burdens, and connect deeply with nature and creativity. 📘 Learn More & Get Inspired: Rose also shares her journey and insights through her free book, “The Honeybee Method,” which you can find linked below.
