As we all know the weather in Florida in the winter is beautiful, especially
when you’re from the upper mid west. The
last I checked it was 20 degrees and snowing back home. Condos to rent are plentiful – West coast,
East cost or inland you have your pick. There’s several good web sites to
search for a location. I prefer www.vbro.com
.You’ll need to book early though – a year in advance is your best bet.
The further south you go the higher the condo prices. My personal choice for location is Fort Myers/Cape
Coral on the West coast or Cocoa
Beach to Vero
Beach
On thing you’ll notice right away if you drive is the
traffic. I’d swear all the snowbirds are
on the road at once. The West coast is the busiest from Clearwater
all the way down to Naples . The East coast isn’t as busy until you get
further south - about West Palm Beach or so and Miami is crazy busy. The drive to Key West
from Miami will
take about 3 and half hours with nonstop traffic. My wife and I took a tour bus
and loved it.
One tip if your
on the road a lot I believe is a must have. A
SunPass. Florida has a lot of toll roads and a
SunPass avoids having to stop at toll booths plus you get a discount on the
tolls. I use the stick on sensor that
attaches to your windshield in front of the mirror. You prepay online with a credit card or cash
at your friendly SunPass affiliate.
Happy travels!
