Do the floating homes move?
While houseboats can frequently be navigated, floating cabins are permanently or semi-permanently anchored to the shore. These floating cabins in particular offer the ideal place to moor your watercraft just steps away from your door. Additional details can be found in your rental agreement.
How much does it cost to rent a houseboat?
As is the case with hotel rooms, motels, and bed and breakfasts, the total cost of your excursion is dependent on a variety of factors. The size of your rental party, the style of houseboat, and the total length of your stay all factor into your cost. The smallest floating cabins on Lake Murray begin at $190, and the grander rentals that accommodate up to 18 guests cost $1140 or more per night.
What do I need to bring to spend the night on a houseboat?
Just as traditional rentals include most of the amenities of a traditional home, so, too, do houseboats. While you will have access to a kitchen, a restroom, and running water, you’ll want to supply your own food and soap. Remember to bring along sunscreen, bug repellent, towels, sunglasses, and any other items that will make a beachfront vacation more enjoyable.
