Month long stays w/o the rv

I have seen folks in here comment about month long stays in some potential snowbird areas with local motels and apartments.
We are not done with the house so cant go full time yet but were looking now at either doing a week or two in the Caribbean come Jan/Feb or maybe a month in a snowbird area, ie anywhere from Myrtle Beach, to Biloxi, to the RGV.
Does anyone have any suggestions for hotels or cities where we should look before locking in somewhere? Dont want to break the bank, scenery will override nightlife (were old). Just want modest accommodations somewhere different.

    Are you planning on flying or driving. Not too many snowbird places you can be at for a month without a car.

    Florida affordable one month stay is an oxymoron. You might get lucky with an extended stay hotel though.

    VRBO, AirbnB, all have reviews to go by. Everything else is buyer beware. Google earth is your friend. Go to the location and “walk” around the area. You’ll get a feel if it’s sketchy or not.

    Try VRBO (Vacation Rentals By Owner) or similar site. they have all locations and price ranges. We go to Scottsdale for the month of April staying in a condo rental, great city, great weather and reasonable price.

    Start looking now as short stays are harder to find, most rentals want 3 month stays.

    Good luck and have fun!!
