what are you wanting to do? cruise the lake slow for fast? spend the night or the day? yachts and houseboat don't do much besides go from point a to b then you just stop.
VIP marina rents just about anything.

in fact i have no license for any boat, so that would constrain us. A cruise is not the thing we like cause that means too much people around us, so i think a houseboat is the most realistic thing

in texas you do not have to have a license to drive any boat. the only time you need a license is if you are payed to operate a boat. there are no constrains on what you can operate. as long as you are over 18 you can drive any boat on the water.

I have never heard of them and it looks like a search site like hotel.com. i would contact the place that you will rent from. you will probably have a better picture of what will be provided for your dollar that way.

I'd call around the marinas here long before a site like that.
