This $ 5.5 million Miami floating mansion isn’t your average houseboat
Americans everywhere are asking if they can use their $ 1,400 stimulus checks to rent a half-night in this floating Miami mansion.
The $ 5.5 million floating house was available to rent for $ 2,500 per night on the Airbnb Vrbo type site since yesterday, but apparently the demand was overwhelming. The list appears to have been withdrawn this morning.
This four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath mansion currently floats off Miami’s Palm Island and spans 2,700 square feet, plus over 1,500 square feet of decks, according to the manufacturer’s website.
To buy this 75-foot-long luxury home, which was originally listed for $ 5.9 million, you’ll need a driver’s license, boating safety certificate, and a driver’s license – or you can just hire a qualified captain, that’s how tenants appreciate the Floating Mansion.
A few boat rental sites still hold the list, charge from $ 3,000 To $ 6,000 per day, but it is not known if the ads are affiliated with the owners of the boat.

The 2,300-square-foot roof is covered with solar panels and rain collectors, making the yacht completely self-sufficient in power and purified rainwater, according to the manufacturer’s website.
And don’t worry. The barge can withstand category 4 or 5 hurricanes, according to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.
It anchors itself using leg-like structures to hold onto the bottom of the bay, more recently off Palm Island, that some local residents said undermines its appeal as an environmentally friendly vessel.

The exterior is sleek white with trendy wood panels and expansive walls of windows that can open for seamless indoor-outdoor living, TikTok user and Florida real estate broker Jason Matouk showed in his step-by-step video tour.
The retractable outdoor patio on the first floor has a summer kitchen with a grill, an outdoor shower and a platform that lowers directly into the water, so guests can get out and swim or board another boat, as shown by Matouk’s visit.
