To all of our Canadian friends,

We don’t like to brag but it’s a lot warmer here. Canada is so beautiful. The nature is spectacular and there is so much to do. Snow skiing, hockey, lacrosse, horse back riding, ice skating, fishing, etc. But then there is the cold. On the other hand we have golfing, biking, kayaking, boating, horse back riding, water skiing, scuba diving, snorkeling and a myriad of other activities that you can do all year around. Just want to relax? Take a stroll on our world class beaches at Clearwater, Caladesi Island or Honeymoon Key. Lay and soak up the sun. Enjoy our theme parks, zoos and museums.

Oh and we have hockey. Tampa is a great hockey town. With Stanley Cup winners the Lightning and a newly revamped arena Tampa Bay is pumped up for hockey.   With Tampa in Conference 2 of the new “East” conference we are now in league with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, and Montreal Canadians. So come on down and cheer your home team. Or just enjoy the dozens of local leagues from pee wee hockey to senior leagues. Hockey rinks can be found all over the Tampa Bay area. And for those who are not hockey fans you will find plenty else to do.

Tampa Bay is home to thousands of wintering Canadians. Check and you may find that many of your friends are already here. As I write this it is December 7th and 81 degrees Fahrenheit outside. That’s 27 degrees Celsius.  I understand it is 1 degree Celsius in Toronto today.

The weather here is sunny and warm, the beaches are beautiful, and the palm trees are swaying in the breeze. But more importantly real estate is the most affordable it has been in many years and with the strong Canadian dollar the value is incredible.  And one of the greatest advantages is if you are looking for a community where maintenance is not an issue you will find exactly what you are looking for in the Devonwood community in Land O Lakes. This gated community has no CDD fees and all exterior maintenance is included in your annual HOA fees including lawn maintenance, exterior pest control, fertilization and the HOA is even responsible for repainting and replacing the roof when it comes time. This is luxury living with no hassles.

So I invite you to visit us and leave the arctic breeze behind you for the sunny, warm weather of the Florida Gulf Coast. I look forward to meeting you. Visit us at www.southerncraftedhomes.com
