This early winter weather up here has got me pining for the days when I can head south for the winter. So I am ramping up my annual winter Zillow trolling. My plan is to retire in say 2 to 3 years. So asking for the views of those that live in or know Florida well to give some advice. Any and all are appreciated, even though I have done a lot of research already, I don’t mind reinforcing old info.
Parameters for my wife and I:
- Budget home price say $450 to 650K
- Canal on deepish water, less than 15 min to get out
- I plan on getting a non-cruiser boat for there (25ft cc or wa)
- Pool is a must have
- Close to decent restaurants/night life (low key)
- Prefer the gulf side (closer to sister’s place in Naples but don’t need to be too close)
- Have rented a few times in Cape Coral and Port Charlotte.
Thoughts?
