Florida Snowbird Rentals: Your Winter Home Away from Home
With tropical weather and incredible attractions, Florida is a popular destination for visitors year-round. But did you know that the state’s population grows about five percent in the fall and winter months with the arrival of the snowbirds? Nope, we’re not talking about red and white-winged crossbills or northern goshawks migrating south to the Sunshine State; these snowbirds typically are retirees who travel to a seasonal home in Florida to avoid the chill of winter!
