Default How late can you rent for next winter?

MY QUESTION is how late is too late to book a rental for Dec through May? I would like to wait a bit but don't want to miss the boat.

We are thinking of retireing this summer and coming down to the villages for about 6 months to see how we like it. Hubby keeps saying well if the house doesn't sell we will just wait a year and he'll keep working.

I have been looking on Thevillages4rent but it is obvious that people don't update their listings to show availability in the lower list section (or update them at all) so the search function doesn't work.


I am trying hard to convince hubby that the villages may be a good alternative to moving back and living poor in Hawaii. But it is a long way from Seattle to the villages and he is sceptical about living in the south as we have had some bad expieriences in the past. So we must give it a few trials first.

OH wise TOVers what do you think?
