We have never spent an entire summer here, but we come down for a couple of weeks every year to check on the house, work on the yard, etc.... I actually love the humidity and heat, it’s the unpredictable daily thunder and lightning that I dislike, as well as the hurricane watch. It seems like almost every day I have to cut my lap swimming and golf short to avoid getting electrocuted. We love the summer up north, except for the flesh eating horseflies. Every year we spend at least a week each on the beautiful beaches of Cape Cod, Road Island, and Maine. We also love to take in a few outdoor concerts at places like Tanglewood and spend time swimming and fishing at the family’s seasonal lake cottage in the Berkshires. In a perfect world, with no responsibilities, my preference would be to be at the Villages from mid October through mid May (perhaps take off to the Caribbean for a month of scuba diving and snorkeling in January) and be up north in between.
