Winter monthly stays from $110/night — book January–March now, while the season is still open.
January through March carry our lowest nightly rates of the whole year, and stays of a month or more price out lowest per night. Pick your dates on the calendar and Vacasa shows your exact total — no inquiry forms, no waiting.
A snowbird stay fails or succeeds on the boring stuff: the kitchen you cook in every night, the laundry you run every week, the WiFi your video calls depend on, and whether the dog is welcome. Both of our homes were set up for exactly that kind of stay.
Destin in winter runs 55–65°F most days — walking, golf, and patio weather while it snows back home. The crowds are gone, restaurants take walk-ins, and the beach is empty and genuinely beautiful. Month by month:
Holiday events, boat parades, and the year's best fishing.

Destin is a two-day drive from Ontario down I-75, and a fraction of the cost of the South Florida snowbird corridors. You keep the warm-winter routine — beach walks, golf, patio dinners — without Naples pricing or Naples traffic.
Both homes are book-online through Vacasa in USD with instant confirmation, so there's no cross-border wire transfer or lease paperwork.
Snowbird bookings for January–March land between August and October. With just two homes, one booking takes a whole month off the board — check your dates while they're open.
