Plan a Winter Escape to the Sunny South

Warm Weather & Sunshine! Head South for Winter

Cold, wet winter days got you down? Maybe it’s time to plan a jet setting getaway to somewhere warm.

From sunny So Cal to the temperate Carolinas, there’s an location out there where it’s no snow boots required. Pack your bags and begin your flight search. A week of sunshine is good for the soul.

And while you’re soaking up rays and dipping your toes in the sand, make plans to visit a Taylor Morrison community or two. You might just find that a new home in Sarasota or Houston real estate is just what the doctor ordered. Imagine a morning commute that doesn’t involve deicing your windshield.

To help you plan an unforgettable vacation, we’ve researched unique events and happenings

North Carolina


Charlotte and Raleigh are perfect holiday options for those who love smoked meat and the great outdoors. When you’re not digging in to a delicious plate of Carolina BBQ, be sure to rent a car and plan a fun day trip to get out of the city. Fishing at Lake Norman is fantastic for amateur and experienced anglers alike and Foothill’s Brewing in Winston-Salem offers a great tour and tasting for craft beer aficionados.

Not to be missed winter events include the Solstice Celebration Lantern Walk on December 17 in Hillsborough, the eclectic Asheville Fringe Arts Festival in January and the Mooresville Christmas Parade held on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.

 


South Carolina


New homes in South Carolina ooze with country charm. It’s no surprise that one of the top things to do when visiting Charlotte in the wintertime is to attend the State Bluegrass Festival over Thanksgiving weekend in Myrtle Beach.

Travelers visiting around the holidays will want to check out ChristmasVille in Rock Hill November 30 through December 3. You’ll find traditional Christmas-themed events like horse-drawn carriage rides, carolers, gingerbread houses and ice skating.

Be sure to drive through 1 Million+ sparkling lights from November 22 through December 31 in Columbia at Holiday Lights.
