We live in So CA but would like to consider spending winters somewhere with beautiful beaches and warm water. The only option in the continental US that is warm enough for us is South FL. We originally thought we’d rent a place and snowbird from one base, but then realized that we’d prefer to go from place to place. We’re thinking of checking out the Keys, the East Coast up to Vero Beach, and the West Coast around Naples.
Is it practical to find places to stay on the fly during the winter? We are willing to be flexible on location, views and amenities, as long as we can get around to all the areas we want to experience. I thought everything might be booked in advance but I looked on Airbnb, VRBO, and Trip Advisor today and surprisingly it seemed that places in many locations were available immediately. Maybe it’s easier to book for a few nights than a few months?
However, we don’t want to get stuck with nowhere to stay. I’d love to hear from others who have tried or done this how it has worked out for you. Thanks!
