[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - So where are these elusive amazing places to buy a 2nd home? Hilton Head seems like the only upscale place I've found, and I imagine its fairly MAGA these days too. [/quote]

We spent a month in Sanibel and I really loved it there, but husband really did not like the red tide that sometimes occurred, so I don't think we will ever buy there for that reason.  I think it's more liberal than other parts of FL, but that might not be saying a lot.

In HHI, I only go to Sea Pines and I like it a lot, and it didn't strike me as particularly MAGA.

There are direct flights DCA to Nantucket.  I'm also the one who said I've likely decided to rent for a few months a year rather than buy, though.[/quote]

Living in DC and buying in FL or MA makes little sense; and FL insurance issues would make it a non-starter for most intelligent people.[/quote]

My beach house is in MA. We are there for 3-4 months every year and family members use it as well. There is a non-stop flight to Cape Cod in the summer and I can get from door to door in 3 hours (30 mins to DCA, 60 mins at DCA, 60 min flight, 30 mins to my house on the Cape. It is a regional jet so fast to board/deplane. And the Hyannis airport is tiny so it take approximately 3 minutes to be at the curb.). It takes a little longer in off season when I have to get a connecting flight or fly to Boston and rent a car. Cape Cod happens to be where I want to spend time, so it makes sense to me.[/quote]
