Houseboat Rentals & Related Info
Do the floating homes move?
In North Carolina, only a relatively few floating homes are available for vacation rentals.
- Most, if not all of the homes, are semi-permanently anchored or moored and rental contracts do not allow for moving them.
- However, there are exceptions at a few marinas that allow you to rent a pontoon-based houseboat and move it around the lake as you choose.
How much does it cost to rent a houseboat?
For the most part, houseboat rentals in North Carolina are subject to the size of the vessel or floating house. In addition, those with more deluxe on-board amenities tend to have comparably higher costs associated with the houseboat rental.
- Most floating homes and houseboats start at around $350 per night. The average cost drops on a per day basis for the longer you lease the houseboat or floating home.
- In the case of houseboats that allow renters to move the boat around the lake, there are also associated fuel costs to consider.
What do I need to bring to spend the night on a houseboat?
Treat a houseboat rental just like a beachfront rental.
- When packing, visitors usually make sure the list includes the essentials like sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, water shoes, and beach towels.
- We also suggest bug spray. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and then not have it. Yikes!
- Most houseboat rentals will include bedding as well as cooking utensils and accessories for the kitchen. Looking for more floating cabins in North Carolina? The Tar Heel State is full of them!
