Wintertime Fun for Florida Seniors, Empty Nesters, and Snowbirds

As full-service real estate professionals, we specialize in helping seniors, empty nesters, and snowbirds transition to the ultimate Florida lifestyle. That includes helping you find a dream waterfront condo, a one-story bungalow near a beautiful park, or a townhouse in a walkable community near shopping and entertainment. We invite you to contact us for limitless options and personalized services if you like the idea of finding a new nest this winter.

If you already live in the Tampa Bay area, you do not have to move out of your current home to enjoy the wintertime perks. Local empty nesters can use these ideas to get out for some wintertime fun, Florida style:

  1. First, flock to the coast: Tampa Bay area beaches are ranked among the best in America. Clearwater Beach offers white sand and glistening water as far as the eye can see. St. Pete Beach, Madeira Beach, Treasure Island, and many of our other world-renowned beaches also offer gorgeous conditions during the winter months.
  2. Next, catch fish: Tampa Bay’s waterways include rivers, bays, lakes, channels, causeways, and the Gulf of Mexico. This means you can enjoy everything from deep-sea fishing for red snapper to shallow-water fishing for trout. If you don’t like to fish, simply enjoy a leisurely day of boating. Local boat charters and private yacht reservations are available for you to enjoy.
  3. For lunch or dinner, eat outside: Escape the mundane meals at home for an enjoyable dining experience outside this winter.  Cafes and restaurants across Tampa Bay cater to outdoor diners in terms of ambiance and service.  Heaters, misters, fans, umbrellas, and soft seating is the standard for many places wanting to attract locals looking for a fantastic meal on a sunny patio or a terrace under the stars. Contact us for tips on some great local spots.
  4. And for fun, play outside: Winter in Florida provides perfect conditions for empty nesters wanting to fly a kite, enjoy a tennis match, or make a birdie during a round of golf. There is a wide selection of activity centers and golf courses across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties.
