Place to stay in Florida
 
Planning to spend 3 months(jan.,feb.and march anybody have any suggestion where to stay, and rates. Open to condos,parks does not have to be near water but can be.

Those are prime Florida months so if you plan to stay any place with water, it will be pricey. Can be anywhere from $1500 to $5000 (or more) a month, depending on location. (I live in Naples). I think it all depends on what you are looking for. Weather only or things to do, age of people in area, etc. Alone or with a family? Maybe some more info would help posters offer suggestions. <BR>Good luck!

We did this for last winter and I checked out www.realtor.com and looked for realtors in the area we wanted to be in and emailed/called them about rentals. Also did a search for 'rentals' and found another realtor that rented us a nice house w/pool for 3 months in the Ft. Myers area. We had our daughter check it out for us and had a wonderful winter. We are now building in the same area. Email me if you would like more information.

Hi John, <BR>My suggestion would be to look at st. Pete/clearwater area. Best kept secret in Florida. The prettiest beaches, easy to fly into, metro area that has arts, sports and easy day trips . Cost of living is a lot less than most areas in Florida. And guess what? we have the same sun as everyone else.:)

Thanks for the info. My wife and I will be retired when we go to florida in Jan. to spend the winter. We'll be 55 and just looking for warm weather.
