Best Snowbird Destinations

A snowbird is a retired individual who spends a few months out of
the year away from their hometown, which is usually a cold, snowy
place. Snowbirds are interchangeably referenced as winter visitors,
because through the winter months they meander around the United
States, traveling and enjoying new sites and warmer weather.Arizona is
a popular place for winter visitors due to its mild winter, especially
in the Scottsdale and Phoenix area. Because the winter months are so
enjoyable at 65�F during the day with lows at night around 41�F it can
become a busy season and difficult for retirees to find a good place
to stay.Before winter visitors descend upon Scottsdale, AZ they book
their stay well in advance. Snowbirds have discovered that if they
don't plan their "migration" months in advance, they'll be stuck with
a more expensive rate or worse... no place to stay. Because wintertime
in Scottsdale is so beautiful, it is necessary to consider your
options in September/October and make your reservation.Hotels provide
one option to winter visitors, who look for a furnished place to stay,
only for a few months. Unfortunately, hotels in Arizona charge a
%12.92 tax rate, much more expensive than for an apartment. A fully
furnished apartment can be a difficult find too, because you generally
have to sign a lease for at least six months and expect a high lease
break fee if you decide to leave after staying just January through
March.Fortunately, with these important elements in mind, there are a
few properties in Scottsdale and the Greater Phoenix area that have a
solution.One is Scottsdale Park Suites, located in Scottsdale, AZ.
Despite being busy during the season, many snowbirds report that this
is one of their favorite places to stay because of the hotel apartment
accommodations (coinciding apartment tax rate of 1.65%). Scottsdale
Park Suites allows winter visitors to rent for just a few months and
do not require you to sign a long term lease. Additionally, Scottsdale
Park Suites caters to the winter visitors by providing them a free
meal each day of the week at various restaurants, free golf, bowling
and ice skating.Many nice hotels are also in Scottsdale because it is
one of the oldest, affluent communities in the Phoenix area.
Therefore, you can find extended stay hotels that are nearby great
dining and shopping. With the famous Fashion Square mile nestled in
the heart of Scottsdale, some of the hotels nearby are very nice.In
conclusion, start to book in September/October for your winter stay at
some of the best winter visitor destinations around!
