Do homeowners lower prices closer to the date? Right now, the homes we loving are a bit out of our price range....

Many thanks!
Summer is warm, but if you avoid the middle of the day, the mornings and evenings are fine. Shrug. You just manage the hottest times. I was out pulling out dying shrubs from our hedge last July in 100 degree weather. I'm fair skinned and still live most of the year 1200 miles north, but this year I'm going to be full time down here. I got a great amount of color, such as I turn a nicer shade of red. I never felt better and adapted pretty quick.

As to renting, you will probably get your best deal early. Some folks like to get it locked in. You may also find some places last minute on the cheap but it's hard to plan a trip like that.
