Why Moving to the Florida Suncoast is the Best Decision You'll Ever Make

Are you tired of long, freezing winters? Dreaming of a coastal lifestyle filled with sunshine, beaches, and vibrant communities? You're not alone! Thousands of people are making the move to the Florida Suncoast every day, and for good reason.

Why We Made the Move

My name is Kari Myroniuk, and along with my business partner, Kristin McLallen, we make up the Buckley Group, powered by Michael Saunders and Company. About 20 years ago, I had enough of the brutal Minnesota winters. Freezing rain, shoveling snow, and bundling up in layers just weren’t for me anymore. I took the leap and moved to Venice, Florida, and I have never regretted it!

Kristin, on the other hand, found her paradise in Lakewood Ranch, a beautifully master planned community near Sarasota. Whether you're looking for a charming beach town or a modern, active neighborhood, the Florida Suncoast has something for everyone.

What Makes the Florida Suncoast Special?

Moving here isn’t just about escaping the cold—it’s about embracing a lifestyle filled with endless opportunities. Here’s what makes this area so special:

  • 🏖️ Stunning Beaches – Whether you love relaxing by the ocean or hunting for prehistoric shark teeth in Venice, the Suncoast offers some of the most breathtaking beaches in Florida.

  • 🌅 Small-Town Charm – Venice has a picturesque downtown with a gazebo (Kari even got married there!) and plenty of local shops, cafes, and events.

  • 🏡 A Variety of Home Options – Whether you're interested in single-family homes, condos, villas, or even luxury manufactured homes with boat docks, there’s something for every budget and lifestyle.
