We bought our first house in GA nearly 14 years ago on Monte Mar when i was 35, this house was as a holiday home which has provided a huge amount of brilliant holidays since. There was a time when flights were really cheap and we would fly out on a friday after work and return late sunday evening. Now we are stuck with school terms so less flexibility. The beaches around GA are brilliant, the location is also excellent, sadly we stopped coming out to GA from November until April simply because the weather could be a bit hit or miss and the temperature a bit low in the persistent wind.Also the permanent residents seem to go into hibernation and you can walk down streets and all you see is tumble weed it really can be like the marie celeste in winter with many bars and restaurants completely shut, some destined never to reopen. If you speak with most bar owners they all say its a long winter, there a few exceptions which do well all year.Thats why many go elsewhere around the world during the winter. Again each to there own some may like it quiet.
