Escape the Winter Freeze in One of These 6 Homes in Toasty-Warm Climates

Baby, it’s cold outside. Which started us thinking—maybe even obsessing—about warm-weather destinations as we brace for a bone-chilling holiday season. Before tossing another Duraflame firelog on the fire, we sought out hot homes in balmy climes across the country.

From Maui, HI, to Palm Beach, FL, we found six homes on the market that would be ideal for waiting out those long and frigid winter months. The places we found are pretty much turnkey, so you could stroll right in and spend the rest of the winter months without ever putting on shoes, much less a coat.

And, yes, we realize these are on the pricey side, but it costs nothing to gawk at gorgeous homes set beneath sunny skies. And these sun-drenched images may just make you forget about a cold, miserable day.

Scroll down to see these six easy, breezy homes to ward off winter’s chill.

Sunny side up: Say aloha to tropical paradise. Located in a double-gated community on the eighth fairway of Kaanapali Kai Golf Course, this West Maui retreat offers 8,600 square feet of living space and unobstructed ocean views. Watch sunsets year-round through 100 feet of glass bifold doors that open to the saline pool. The interior’s open floor plan features Italian tiles, stone floors, and granite counters. Built in 2009, the “immaculately maintained” home is just minutes from the beach. It’s your choice on whether you want to use a golf cart to get there faster.
