Most sound advises said rent for a year after the move to a new place before you buy. But I'm only interested in getting away from the cold for month or two. I was looking into buying but want but occupying more than two months out of the year. If lap swim pool is accessible to renter, I wouldn't want the hassle of owning a home at TV since I don't want the hassle of renting out when I'm not there.

I was able to get to travel abroad during winter months but due to COVID, I wasn't able to travel in winter 2020. Then I started searching and found TV. I like that TV has lap swim pool, road bike path, and jogging path. It would be good place to continue the training during the winter months without traveling abroad. Also, I could drive down there from NYC.

You thought and suggestion is appreciated from both renters and landlords. Also, what's the best sites to rent in TV for a month or two months? Thank you.
Stay away from any service that has the villages in it as it’s very expensive and lousy management. I used the villages rental company the plumbing exploded and they tried to steal my $500- deposit.

Don’t buy if you’re looking to sein and do things for a few months. Rent north of 44 and remember that if you think of buying keep in mind the weather from April to October is insufferable the hest humidity the bugs and the mediocre food. Also look at other places that are cheaper around the area it is very expensive to rent here the costs and fees. I bought and regret it everyday.
