We have wintered in Wauchula, FL, for the past eight years. Wauchula is the county seat of Hardee County and still pretty much undiscovered. For those wondering where Wauchula is, it is located about 25 miles west of Sebring. We stay at Crystal Lake Village and are only a mile from a Super WalMart. There are many other stores in town. During all these years we have been treated well when we shop, go to restaurants, etc. We are only an hour or so from Tampa, Fort Myers, Disney and more. The weather is great here and the prices are very reasonable. We visit the coast (west) while we are there and always say we are glad we do not have to put up with that traffic all the time. So, there are still some warm places in FL that welcome snowbirds and are reasonably priced. If you play golf there are fewer places to play that will be cheaper than this general area. It isn't for everyone but of you want a quiet, slower paced, less expensive area check out this part of FL.
