Yes, I think if we had owned a single-family home, we might have felt a bit differently about Florida. But the flip side is that we never could have afforded to live right smack on the ocean if we didn't live in a condo. Actually, we did do the six-month thing -- we spent six months on the beach in Florida and we rented a one-bedroom camp on Winni for six months (five summers we did that.) But each year when it came time to leave the lake, we were oh so sad. We also missed our kids who live in nearby Mass. We have definitely made the right decision!
