troubledwaters,
Used to have a nice winter place around the WPB area but no longer since 2007 and had sold all we owned down there. However, do still have a lot of family living there and on the west coast of FL too. They were mostly land developers for classy and exclusive living places, commercial developments, and also owned 7 campgrounds and a couple marinas too plus 2 golf courses. However, all are retired or retiring now except for the young'uns who have other interests/careers.
A couple of our family members finally had all they could take of the sickening heat and humidity and have moved back north. South Florida life is so much different than it used to be as it's now a jam of people everywhere and high crime levels today with a really high cost of living and there's so many homeless/drifters from all over the world. Don't set anything down because it will quickly grow legs and have new owners! Lost it's charm and why we now go farther north to stay!
We only got to go down to our place for a few weeks/yr etc as I had a business to run so it didn't make sense for 12 month a year ownership and maintenance plus all the other high expenses and virtually always drove an RV down and back anyway as we'd explore on the ways traveling. Had nor have any desire to be in Florida during about 3/4 of the calendar year and it's no secret as to why! Just fly down now or then? Very seldom because we'd both flown for so many years several times a week anyway and it got really old to the point of despise. Airports suck!
Only stay there now farther north in a FL CG resort for 2 to 2-1/2 months max for 10 years now and we only go down with one our RV's as the wife is disabled and we had long come to despise flying and airports and having a plane didn't help much as we also need to visit the spread out family living there each year too.
Now you know!
