Least seasonal STR market in FL?

[Mike McGee]

A couple of years ago I sold an LTR and 1031-exchanged it for an STR in the NC mountains. I have grown to really like the STR business! Now I want to sell a handful of LTRs and buy another STR, this time preferably in Florida. I like the Punta Gorda / Charlotte county area, but I'm open to other markets.

As far as STR’s in FL, seems like everything is somewhat seasonal. The panhandle is seasonal - busy in summer for beaches, slow in winter because it’s too cold. SW FL is seasonal the other way - busy in winter for northerners escaping cold, but slow in summer because it’s too hot.

Seems like there should be some place in FL that’s a happy medium. (I'm not really interested in the Orlando/Disney market.) Any other suggestions for less-seasonal Florida STR markets?

Thanks!
