Most people agree that you can visit Florida for beautiful weather year-round, but there are times of the year that are busier than others at our Siesta Key Resort. Late Spring through Summer in Siesta Key are the most popular times to visit because many people are off for the Summer or they prefer to visit when the weather is at its warmest.
People head to this area of Florida to appreciate the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the bright sunshine and to spend as much time outdoors in the warmth as possible. But it’s Florida, and the heat can get intense during this time. That doesn’t deter people from making those times the most popular, though.
Winter is still a great time to visit for several reasons, especially if you’re looking for warmth but don’t want to melt the second you walk outside.
Visiting Tropical Breeze Resort during the off-season can be the best decision you can make regarding your dream vacation to Florida. The off-season in this area of Florida is still a beautiful time, but not everyone understands why.
While we’d welcome you with open arms during the busy season, we want to share with you why visiting Tropical Breeze during the off-season can be just as amazing, if not more.
Mild Winter Weather
There’s nothing wrong with a little snow in the Winter, but if you cannot stand freezing up north, you can trade in the white snow for white sand beaches in Siesta Key. Living the snowbird life, even temporarily, can give you a much-needed break from the cold thanks to Siesta Key’s mild winter weather.
The best part about Florida in the Winter is that it’s still warm enough that you can spend time outside, but is cool enough that you can wear sweaters on some days. The average temperature highs in Siesta Key during the winter hover in the 70s, but that can vary depending on many factors.
Even at night, the average temperatures are barely in the 50s. With mild temperatures, some of the most popular things to do in Siesta Key in the summer are just as popular in the winter. You can still hit the beach on sunny days with mild temperatures.
The only thing to note is the water temperature might be chilly for most, but sitting on the beach, playing games, or reading is just as nice. Another reason visiting in winter is a great idea is that the weather won’t put a damper on your plans. Hurricane season is over, and the rainy season doesn’t start again until the spring, so rain or storms will rarely interfere with your getaway.
Vacation With Ease
Let’s face it, most people don’t enjoy fighting through crowds anywhere, especially on vacation. When you visit Siesta Key in the off-season, you’ll have fewer crowds to deal with everywhere you go. So, what does that mean for you and whoever you’re traveling with?
It means your Siesta Key vacation will be easy, and you’ll hardly have to wait in line for stores and restaurants or when looking for parking spaces. When you’re looking for a place to sit on the beach, you’ll have a lot more options than you would in the summer since most people aren’t visiting during that time.
Parking can be a pain in Siesta Key, but in the winter, finding parking at the beaches or in Siesta Key Village is ten times easier thanks to fewer tourists being there.
You’ll also find walking around to be less stressful because there will be more room on the sidewalks for you and our group. A lot of our guests prepare meals in their Siesta Key rental, but trying Siesta Key restaurants is a must while you’re here.
Luckily, during the winter, making reservations is far easier because you’ll have more time options, and depending on the restaurant, you might be able to just walk in and get seated immediately. Many of the best restaurants in Siesta Key are booked up fast in the summer, so getting a reservation in the winter is easier, and you’ll finally get to try the spots you might not have been able to at any of the other times you’ve visited.
There are a lot of tour companies that still operate in the winter, and getting tickets to those or the time slot you want will be a lot easier, too. Plus, many tour companies lower their prices in winter to entice those who are visiting to book with them.
Not that Siesta Key is stressful in the summer, but if crowds stress you out, then it can be. If you want to have a stress-free and smooth sailing vacation in Siesta Key, winter is arguably the best time to do so. Just make sure that the tours you want to do are open during the Winter because even though the weather is still great, some shut down or have limited hours since there are not as many people visiting the town during this time.
Reasonable Siesta Key Accommodation Prices
Who doesn’t love a great deal? There’s nothing like getting a more affordable price and using your money for other things. Siesta Key vacation rental prices, including our own, are far cheaper in the winter than in the high season.
Most companies will lower their prices during this time to fill their units and still bring tourism and great business to the area. How much cheaper the rentals will be compared to in the summer and other popular months will vary from unit to unit, but when you choose to visit in the winter, you’ll get the same wonderful vacation, but for a much more affordable price. This way, you can put that money towards tours, restaurants, or whatever else you want during your vacation.
