A beautiful beach. Temperate Florida weather. Great restaurants and of course, a balcony overlooking a wonderful ocean view. Can you think of a better way to spend Valentine’s Day with your beloved? In fact, can you think of a better place to spend the whole winter?
If you have been dreaming of taking a much-needed break in a warmer place, it is not too early to book a unit at Sandy Beach Vacay for the 2022 season.
Yes, you heard right. Book now to secure a rental unit in Florida for 2022. Why?
My snowbird guests tend to come back to the same units every year. And they often re-book right away before they have even ended their current stay.
I have been renting my units in Ponce Inlet and Anna Marie Island for 18 years now. During that time, I’ve come to believe that many of my winter renters enjoy Florida even more than the younger families who frequent Florida during the hot summer months. They come from pretty – but really cold! – places like Michigan, Minnesota and Toronto, Canada for three reasons:
1) The Weather (of course!) – Compared to Utah or Montana, Florida is downright balmy in the winter. It is the #1 reason why snowbirds migrate every year to the Sunshine State. And you don’t have to be retired to consider doing this. All you remote workers out there…you can do this, too! (Printer included in each unit at no charge).
2) The Locals – There’s something to be said for leaving behind the bustle of the holidays and heading south to chill out in a sunny “home-away-from-home” environment. Picture this: A winter stew warming on the stove while you peruse the latest Netflix line-up. If you don’t feel like cooking, there’s always takeout. Regardless, you’re warm, you’re cozy…and you can still enjoy that early morning or late afternoon walk on the beach – even in February! If you’re one of those “homebound-for-way-too-long” types desperately looking for something to do and somewhere to go, you can take a dolphin cruise, get some fishing in, snap a picture of the local lighthouse and/or schedule your stay around the annual Daytona 500 (I’ll be there this year with family and friends in tow). Anna Marie Island similarly offers great fishing, a gorgeous sunset cruise and fantastic shopping in the local boutiques that grace the downtown AMI area.
3) The “Grub” – For breakfast aficionados, the Cracked Egg, Crabby Joe’s and iHop are just a short drive away in Ponce Inlet, while The Doughnut Experiment in Anna Marie Island is a fun local favorite. For dinner, you have your choice of great venues like The Garlic in Daytona, and The Waterfront Restaurant in Anna Marie Island. And of course, there is always the North Turn right next door to the East Winds complex in Ponce Inlet.
So even if you’re homebound this Valentine’s Day because of “you know what,” surprise your loved one with the gift of a great get-away this time next year. Honestly, you don’t even need a holiday excuse. Just look at your choices at Sandy Beach Vacay , and then…take the leap.
Don’t we all need something to look forward to next year? I know I do!
Sandy
