Live on the Water in New Atlantic City Tiny Floating House

You never know what you might see for sale on Facebook Marketplace. Are you in the market for a tiny floating house or Airbnb?

Tiny Floating House or Office For Sale in Atlantic City

$79,000 sounds like a fair price for this brand-new floating home or office listed for sale in Atlantic City.

The building was intended to be an office for a marina and the owners did a good job getting it ready for life on the water. Then they had a change in plans and now they are selling the floating structure.

What Does the Tiny Floating Home Have to Offer?

The Facebook Marketplace ad says the floating home is ocean-ready and heavy-duty, secured to 40-foot-long pontoons.

The building has a weatherproof metal roof and upgraded marine plywood, all stainless marine-grade hardware, insulated windows, and 30-year architectural shingles.

Is the Tiny Floating House Big Enough to Be a Houseboat or Airbnb?

It is, but on the small side. Sofi.com says the average houseboats range from 20 to over 90 feet in length and 8 to 20 feet in width. In most cases, 40 to 50 feet is the average length for a houseboat to be comfortable as a long-term dwelling.

The floating house for sale is 12' x 30'. The door height is 6'6" with a 12' roof pitch. It is certainly big enough for second-home vacation usage or to rent as an Airbnb if you have the right dock location. Hey, tiny houses are all the rage these days!

Is It a Tiny Floating Home or a House Boat?

Some “floating homes” are as big as a small house — and are built to be lived in the same way — only on a floating foundation. Houseboats or liveaboards are typically much smaller than floating homes and more mobile, and they may not have the amenities a larger home can offer.
