Just wondering
This is our definition and how we travel between our homes. We have been in all categories.

Snowflake is someone who owns more than one residence, comes and goes to any residence with no length of stay in any one season. Floating in and out anytime, of the year.

Snowbirds flee the Snow to warmer climates usually late fall to early spring.

Seasonal Renters mostly come during high season January February March with occasional December or April added in, for a better rate.

Sunbirds flee the summers Hot sun, escaping to northern states that have cooler weather and lakes you can swim in, without worrying of being eaten.

Renters, those who come to southern states to see if that area will become their new retirement community. Sometimes only doing a lifestyle visit once or many, many times.

Vacationer’s visit with time constraints, usually with baggage in tow (children, or stress) spend bunch of money, go home more exhausted then arrival, with sunburn that makes flight uncomfortable.
