After spending our entire lives suffering thru midwest winters DW and I decided to look for a winter getaway in Florida. DW found a rental in a CYV here in TV. That would have been 2017. We really liked it here so decided to rent a couple of months in 2018. After the second visit we decided to look for a house when we returned for a couple of months in 2019.
We decided we would look for a resale designer home as we liked the amenities in the already established areas. Problem was a minimum of a 3 car garage was required. They were few and far between but we found one that would suit us and made the purchase.
We arrived back to our existing home on March 9, 2019 and less that 7 weeks later we moved to our new home in TV on April 23, 2019. During that 7 weeks we sold our house and most all our possessions accumulated over 40 plus years. Looking back on that, it seems nearly impossible what we went thru to make the move in such a short time.
The reasons we chose TV was because of the lifestyle we would be able to live, it is unlike anywhere else we could imagine. Also DW would never consider living where there is a higher chance of hurricane damage. We feel very lucky to have many new friends here and good health to enjoy the lifestyle. Sure the summers are hot but it gets just as hot and humid in the midwest. This beautiful winter weather way more than offsets the hot summers. We have been here full time going on three years now with few regrets. My main regret is that we did not find a house with an even larger garage.
