Actually a person who owns property in TV and leaves for a couple months in the summer are called Sunbirds. They fly away from the humidity and hot sun and go north. A snowbird is just the opposite. They fly south to get away from cold and snow.

We usually go north to get away for a couple of months in the hot summer. We get a “house-watch” but never rent our home to anyone. We let our kids and grandkids use it on as needed basis while they vacation. No problems.
