Latin America and Europe.  The tropical climate and sandy beaches are perhaps the most important factors in enticing our new residents to call Florida their new home.  They could swim in the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico in December while their neighbors back home are battling the snow. The beautiful weather in the winter alone is worth the price of their second home.
