ABOUT THE HOUSE
Shipwreck Haus is a 1973 A-frame, fully restored in 2026, that looks like a simple gray house from the outside… but step inside and you're in a sunken ship at the bottom of the sea! Every wall and ceiling is hand-painted: jellyfish drift over the loft, a giant mermaid watches over the dining area, and sunlight ripples across the soaring peak.
Perfect for families, friend groups, or couples who want a dreamy, themed escape.
We LOVE to host locals who want an affordable staycation WITHOUT the expense of the theme parks. Shipwreck Haus was designed to be a vacation destination by itself, NOT just a place to sleep.
The Shell Bedroom, living area, kitchen, and both bathrooms are all on the main floor, so no stairs are needed for those. Only the loft bedroom is upstairs.

About the Owner
Hallöchen! I'm a near-native Floridian living in Winter Park, Florida. My fondest memories of my childhood are all from family vacations! I've traveled a lot, and my favorite type of vacation is the kind where you can come home after a day out on the water or a theme park and just... chill. I designed my two A-frame "Vintage Villas" to be peaceful places to recover after a day of fun and sun. They're also packed with entertainment, so staying "home" for vacation is fun too! Oh, and since I grew up here, I know a TON about the Central Florida area (especially the places tourists haven't ruined yet ;-)), so please feel free to ask me anything you'd like as you plan your trip.
