The quiet months: a Flagler Beach rental from January to spring
After the holidays, many Flagler Beach rentals go quiet for weeks at a time. Fewer stays means nobody on hand to notice what the winter weather does, and winter northeasters bring wind and high surf to the coast.
Northeasters
In the cooler months, strong northeast winds can blow for days along this coast, pushing sand across A1A at low spots and salt spray onto the houses nearest the dunes.
What to photograph in the quiet months
- Shutters and screens on the ocean side
- Sand against the stairs, the garage and the parking pad
- Railings and outdoor fixtures
- The yard and the plantings by the street
One set in the middle of the stretch
A single set in February, halfway between the holidays and spring break, shows whether the house needs anything before the busy season starts.
Getting ready for spring
A last set a couple of weeks before the first spring stays leaves time to send a cleaner, a painter or a handyman out before the guests arrive.
