An inspiring couple. I love what you’ve done! Your energy is so calming and sincere. ⚓️

[snippetsofvictoria]

Brandon is very easy to listen to, Sarah has such a calming vibe about her, what a lovely couple and equally lovely home.

[jeroberts]

I really and truly enjoyed this tour - Brandon and Sarah were very articulate and informative about so many different aspects of their life on the water, and they were very likable and easy to listen to, as well. They've made a beautiful tiny home there! This left me smiling, and I wish the three of them the best, always. 😊

[moviebuff]

You two are obviously highly intelligent and capable. I hope you know how rare it is to have a life together that is this beautiful. Your home is everything it needs to be and more. Just wonderful.

[ceilconstante]

It's absolutely beautiful and so well though out! Wishing them many years of Happiness on the water 💦

[lindaberg]

Such a great young couple! Love Love their very nice tiny home! I have wanted to live on the water all of my adult life. I'll be 72 yr old this year. Most probably not going to happen. Seeing and listening to this young couple's tiny water home and life here brought me so much joy!!! So happy for them!! They've given me hope for our future generations💗 Bless you all💞

[LadyovVein]

I don't just love their home I am obsessed with their dynamic! What a cute couple.

[meridethhendry]

How wonderful! I love how you both explained so much about your home. It’s absolutely spectacular!

[cherigoodwin]

Wow, very good video. Brandon is quite knowledgeable and expresses himself well. Sarah has educated herself very well about the in's and out's of the boat. She is not camera-shy (Or hides it well) and is very articulate! Great job guys! Love your home!

[ericalampley]

This was educational! I had no idea what went into living on a houseboat. It's a lot more involved than I imagined!

[vivalaleta]

A charming pair. What a humble, peaceful existence.

[rebeccapettifer]

Wish I could LIKE this 100 times. One of the most unique, beautiful homes and beautiful way of life I have ever seen! So happy for them. Thank you Jenna!

[heathermc]

The best tiny home space!! They both seem like wonderful happy people! How life should be, working together having a calm life!

[anhtaa]

A long time ago, my late husband and I were dreaming of a life like yours, with a house boat and all. Then things changed. I can’t make this dream into reality on my own, so seeing your video of your beautiful home, I am so happy for you both. Enjoy your good life!

[dnnsmrgn]

Yes, they are SPECIAL, they actually have the guts to take it on. Proud of both of them.

[Tyme_flies]

Im so happy for these two people. It makes my heart smile to see young people living their dream. I freaking love their house and dog. Im a stranger on the internet but im so proud of them. Its a beautiful life being lived by beautiful people.

[mattheweburns]

I bet, watching a thunderstorm and rain across the lake with woodburning stove on that comfy couch with a hot cup of coffee is the most comfy thing ever!

[CorpseBride]

This floating home is so lovely. They did an amazing job refurbishing it! I wish them every happiness. 💕

[Lisa-gypw]

I LOVE this couple! What a cool lifestyle - I'm envious.
