scam alert. we recently had a client ask about a floating home on zillow they saw for rent. it was a fake and the scammer was asking $5k per month. pro tip - ask a realtor in the community if something you see is for real first. it's a small community and the likelihood of more insight is a sure bet.

Hi Gang! We appreciate all the rental inquiries you send us. We thought sharing some general rental guidelines will help in your search.

🛟No short term rentals are allowed, per the City of Seattle. Short term means less than 30 days.

🛟Floating home rental rates are typically $4,000 per month (2 bed/1 bath) up to $10,000 a month.

🛟Houseboats are in that $2,000 to $3,000 per month range.

🛟Because of the limited number of houseboats and floating homes, give yourself enough time to start your search ~ especially during the summer months as this is the time sellers sell and owners enjoy their lake abode.

See ya around the lake,
Molly & Susan

Attention: Houseboat Owners: Rental Opportunity
Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out within my circle to see if any houseboat owners might be open to a rental opportunity. We are seeing quite a few renters enter the market and would love to help them.

Currently, I have an excellent, responsible renter actively looking for a houseboat, with a budget up to $3,500/month. And another renter up to $5500 per month.

If you’ve been considering renting out your houseboat or would like to learn more, I'd be happy to connect and share additional details.

Please feel free to reply directly, and I appreciate you sharing this message with anyone who may be interested.

See you out there,

Molly Cartwright

We just secured a six month rental on an Eastlake floating home for under $4,000. This renter emailed us directly and after an initial tour, we realized we had some friends in common. With 500 floating homes and 250 houseboat liveaboards...this is bound to happen. It's why we love what we do so much.

We also like to promote and support local Lake Union businesses, artists, and vendors. This beautiful painting was created by Brooke Brocherding.

Happy Thanksgiving Holiday! From Molly and Susan.
