Re: A little OT? If you wanted an oceanfront/view 2br place to retire to...
I just spent my first winter down here as a resident. 1 night it made it down to 36 degrees. And you know what warning was issued when that happened? Iguanas May fall from the trees. I kid you not...

A little OT? If you wanted an oceanfront/view 2br place to retire to...
I recall “native Floridians” wearing everything they owned a few times in the winter, while the snow birds would be on the beach in trunks no shirts when it was 60, with the wind howling blowing sand so hard it stung your legs.
I used to have friends visit me in the winter months from time to time, and want me to take them to beach...

When I vacationed in Siesta Key Sarasota for the winter my mother and I had a running joke that you could tell where everyone was from that time of year.
The natives were in long sleeves and long pants and had coats on. People from middle America were in shorts and t-shirts and the Canadians were swimming in the water.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: A little OT? If you wanted an oceanfront/view 2br place to retire to...
In Siesta Key a few years ago and a lady said this would be her last winter. Said it was just too cold and she was moving farther south. I asked her how cold it got in the winter. She said in the 70s...

A small update.
I have found a couple of places in N. Myrtle Beach (Crescent Beach area) I am going to do a virtual tour. Finding a 2BR direct OF is pretty rare so while it will be cooler in winter than we want, a 2BR under $200K direct OF may be too hard to pass up.

Keep us posted. I'm following closely on ideas. Thinking of moving to the panhandle where I can afford it, and visit Key West a lot. Probably in a rowboat.

Re: A little OT? If you wanted an oceanfront/view 2br place to retire to...
Ok,
We got beat to the offer on the unit we wanted. We had found a 3rd Story OF 2BR/2BA Corner Unit (914sqft). It was in pretty good condition. Maybe needed some paint but appliances under 1 year old and beds/mattresses under 2 years with new HVAC 3 years ago. Only problem was small pool which our 12YO daughter did not like. But man, the HOA called to me at $384. They were asking $214,900. I was looking at options but had planned to offer about $205,000.
Well, someone grabbed that sucker at full price last night. Here was the unit: https://www.realtor.com/realestatean...-02557?view=qv
I did worry about steps as I age. My knees are not what they once were so maybe it was not meant to be!
We already have another lined up. I will update as we make moves!

^There's a show on HGTV called Beachfront Bargain Hunt that has a lot of properties at reasonable prices. I always thought if I were in the market I'd look at some of the locations where they shoot their episodes and search there.

We watch BFBH all the time. But many times they really are not beachfront, but "in walking distance". Especially in FL except Panama City area. FL was just out of our price range. So was HHI.
Darrin, on the first floor...my wife does not like first. Wants elevated so she can see. Also worries more about storm damage and flooding on first floor. But in your case, it is 1st floor or elevator. I get it.
Guys, we now have an accepted offer on a 10th floor unit at Sands Beach Club in Myrtle Beach. 2Bed, 2Bath. Direct OF. Need to update bathrooms but that is style, not function. Got it for under $180K.
I wish it was under $625 HOA but will live with that for direct OF!

If it flys, floats, f@&$s, or its ocean front... rent it.

I actually enjoy redecorating/remodeling to satisfy my wife's "visions".
Redecorated the Family Room/Woman Cave this week.
Since I do 95% of the work it keeps it reasonable and by keeping the house more updated at least the kids will have a nice property to sell when Grammy and I graduate to Glory.
