I'm getting close to retirement and the girlfriend and I are both sick of winters, so we are considering selling and pulling up stakes when we finally get out of the rat race. Since we are both interested in maybe spending a year looking around to see where we might want to buy and settle in, I've enjoyed watching buying the beach and dreaming. Anyone ever rented an RV, curious if that is a practical approach, something we are going to look into in a year or so.
So help me with some choices, with the following criteria. Obiviously I'd go south to a more temperate climate, so at least the winters would be more bearable, yet the summers wouldn't be to oppressive. I'd want a fishery that I can target with light tackle, a jighead and some plastic, I'm thinking primarily redfish and possibly stripers in winter. Since I'm not interested in getting a bigger boat, I'm thinking a more protected watershed, where I can take the Mckee Craft 20 foot center console, where a trolling motor and relaxed pace work; again redfish seem to be what might make sense.
I'd like some good golf in the area, but that really shouldn't be any issue in the Carolina's or anywhere south for that matter. The girlfriend must have is a beach or good swimming close, she needs to get in for a swim in the salt every day. All this and in a place I'm not spending more that we can afford, so those million dollar gated retirement communities while attractive, aren't for us. Although I do see some that we might afford with golf, fishing and swimming; along with all the health clubs and amenities that come with them.
Just day dreaming
