Josh Austin, who lives in the home, said he and his girlfriend were asleep inside when the car came crashing through their living room.
"I haven't seen it all, but now I've seen this," Austin told WPTV.
Pictures provided by the St. Lucie County Fire District show the rear of the car protruding through the front of the home.
The woman driving the car was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
"I turned the car off because she looked very much in shock and very disoriented," Austin's girlfriend said.
Nobody was inside the living room at the time.
"Thank God we were literally just being lazy because it was 10 o'clock when it happened," Austin's girlfriend said.
Police said no charges will be filed.
